The missing pool

Hiya- It's finally all working - I am wonder geek, hear me reload ! Okay, not all true and I did have help but I managed to get my mac working. I'll whisper that in case it hears and goes all technical on me again. ( But I'm having a quiet woohoo)
Now for some things we've been up to besides learning about the reproduction of bacterium and the Kingdom of Monera.
No matter how messy the garden there's always something lovely. The gerbera has survived for a few years now and right next to it is a'Cherry Pie' Lantana type of bush ( can't remember what its name was and I know Lantana is a weed in the bush) . We thought we could smell a bakery from the car but it was this little plant we'd bought. Smells gorgeous. So far it's been hardy and lives well with the other plants.

We finally had the pool removed . Now it just has to be cleared of that horribly invasive ivy plant. Fluffy the 12 year old chook and her mate Other Chook are helping. Can't wait for our new chookies. They haven't hatched yet - maybe they haven't even been laid but we're hoping for some black and red ones. Can't get speckled ones atm - nuts. The dogs would love to help but the black likes to pick them up by the tail and put them away and Violetta (hasn't she grown) is suppose to act like a lady but instead tried to eat Fluffy and wondered why Other Chook was pecking her! So she's banned atm.



We bought some moulds from Kerry at

Chocart

and this bunny was our favourite. Getting chocolate making stuff was impossible down our way but we found Kerry's site on the internet and after a few emails trying to work out what we needed , she sent us all the stuff -very easy. Beats hairing around town. We did heaps more , including making fondant . That was good till I tried to actually use it and then it just stuck to my hands . Obviously did something wrong.
Shucks will have to make more chocolate. We will be buying better choc buttons , the ones we got locally weren't that nice. Tasted like cheap easter eggs - yuk.
I better go and get rid of the evidence .
cheers and hugs Little Ma and MnM
