Koonamore

I have spent the last seven days in Koonamore six hours from Adelaide. I went as a volenteer with ten other students from Adelaide University. 360 ha of land have been fenced to exclude sheep and rabbits. We did lots of quadrat recording and rabbit checking in the reserve. We were lucky enough to have gone when the Sturt desseret pea was in flower was in flower. these were so beautiful.



This is my fried and i having a break from recording a quadrat. Had to bring little plastic mats as the ground was covered in prickles everywhere!!!!! Our mat, although small, was a must for this kind of job.
Flys were really bad the first few days as was hot so we both learnt to really appriciate the fly nets although we never got use to having to lift the net before being able to eat. lol


This is after a long day. We were up at sunrise, about six, every moring and worked in the field till lunch were we enjoyed salad sandwiches and a nap. then we would be back out there from two till about seven. We always enjoyed coming back to the house for dinner and dessert.



Going to go catch some zzzzzz's as am sure i have missed a few these last few days.lol

we're back, again

Yes after another very long drought of blogging we are back. uni and school can take up soooo much time and having a computer which likes to take sick days is not helpful either. lol
So we have been able to fit some craft stuff in which included a day at the Quilt and Craft Fair. It was so much fun we bought a Japanese Quilt pattern and have been busy sewing the top pieces these last two days as we are know on holidays till February. Yay!
This is a sneek peek of one of the fabrics for the quilt which is for my bro.


We celebrated this with a trip to Bunnings were we got six punnet seedlings for 99 cents each. We know have four different kinds of tomato, and basil, beetroot, mini pumpkins, gherkins, zucchini, finger eggplant and all at 99 cents. love bunnings. This is my first rose on my Bella Rosa rose given to me for my 18th birthday last year by a friend. Smells gorgeous too.



Have made a long list of things to do over the next couple of months and looking forward to ticking them off the list as they get done. have four sections to it, craft, garden, places to go and other. craft is obviously the longest list. lol
