I havent done an update for quite a while again!
I will get back to regular blogging here eventually!
I took a month off work and spent lots of time wiht the kids which was good, also went away to the beach for a week which was also relaxing (or as relaxing as 6 plus kids in a small 3 bedroom house can be!)
I'm still going along with most things.
The chooks are giving us lots of eggs and boy are they yummy! I think 2 are still not yet laying, but the rest are and we get 4 eggs most days. I'm having alittle bit of drama with themlaying where they please at present instead of in their house as they free range from sun rise til sun set!
Our bunnies and guonea pigs are great, all healthy and thriving and all the animals are giving us loads of mulch and manure for the garden. I have been heaping it below the lemon tree and the tree looks healthy now. I'll have to take a photo.
I'm participating in FebFast

If you wish to sponsor me you can but please don't feel you have to. I just think its a good idea health wise for me and also to raise funds for youth drug and alcohol users.
The vegie garden is going OK. The lettuce/silverbeet bed has mostly gone to seed so i am hoping to get a fair amount of lettuce seed for future use as the guineas and rabbits love it all.
The tomatoes have been great though the chooks stole a few! I have a few plants I planted later that are just coming in to ripen now and the other ones are nearly ready to pull out.
We've been enjoying plundering the potato patch and feasting on home grown spuds! This is first time I have had success with spuds!
The garden does need a bit of work though. I need to plant more and start preparing the front beds and try to improve he soil. Everything out the front stayed stunted all season, very weird! I need to do a soil test still, I just didnt rush due to holidays and being busy.
I'm still knitting, still only dish cloths though i did knit wrap to use for photo sessions for newborns!
thats it for now. Lots more to update but will do it later :)

So great to hear from you. Gotta love those feedreaders where you can see an update after a bit of a break. :)
Great idea to take a break after you were so busy. Hopefully life will return to normal (if there is a such a thing) now.
Really wish we lived closer. I'd love to get someone to do some nice pics of my kids for me. :)

Hi Susan,
Just wanted to see how things were going - you haven't blogged for a while!
Hope things are well.
