Hey Birds, free feed!


Seed is out, free feed, calling all birds


While I was waiting for the birds to arrive, I baked some glazed lemon cookies.

I found this recipe over at cookingclassy.com

I love looking for new recipes to bake. These look really nice and I can't wait to try one.

Look at this! While I was typing this post, two friends arrived.
The photos are abit grainy as I had to take the pictures through the window. I didn't step out onto the balcony as I didn't want to scare them away.

As you can see, he/she was checking where I was!

Enjoy your free feed little friends. You can always come back anytime.

Made a bird feeder with hubby

The weekend was a mixture of going clothes shopping, relaxing and doing odd jobs around the house. The kids watched a couple of movies and played outside. 
On Sunday morning I set up the table for the kids to do some drawing. I laid out a large sheet of paper and put some colour changing markers out. It was good to see them using their imagination and creating some great pictures.







Later in the day, while the kids were watching a movie, my hubby and I made a bird feeder. Our other bird feeder was starting to fall apart so we decided to make another one. It was nice spending time together. I will put some seed in it tomorrow. I look forward to seeing what birds come to check it out.

Still growing in the veggie boxes

The broccoli has just started to sprout their heads

We are still getting a few snow peas aswell


I hope I have enough room for my peas and tomato seedlings. I have noticed that some of the veggies have grown late this year. I think we need some more sunshine.

What is still growing in your veggie patch? Do you have any veggie's that are growing slow?

Starting the vegetable seedlings

I have found the best place for these guys to sit and get a nice dose of sunshine. It's in our bedroom near the window. They get warmth from the sun and lots of daylight.

Pea Greenfeast

Loving the sun

Tomato San Marzano

These came up in just two days

Saturday fun

On Saturday, Master 10 had two friends stay at our house for a sleep over. Last year he celebrated his birthday at a play centre doing Laser Tag games. So for this year we said he could have a couple of friends over and have a small celebration.
Before the rain came, we headed off to a park for a play. We then visited a local farm and saw a great range of farm animals.

This mummy sheep had three one day old babies

This guy was a cheeky goat

Every time I tried to take a photo he leaned in!

 Again!

In for a close up!

The kids loved feeding the chickens


A gorgeous cow having her lunch

We all had a great afternoon. It was great seeing the kids interacting with all the animals.

How was your weekend?
