Extending the fairy garden

So I feel slack already, missed a day writing and it was only my second day. Well I'm making up for it now...

Yesterday, being pleased at amassing my rocks for the fairy garden the day before, I had Bunnings on my mind. Potting mix, compost, miniature plants, river stones etc. After finishing my house work and picking up my daughter from pre-school at 11am, we headed up to my addiction that is Bunnings. $50+ later (and a minute silence for Remembrance Day) we headed home to start on my new favourite project.

I swear it was 32C and 100% humudity, but with my daughters help and enthusiasm we managed to shape our new garden, cover the lawn with junk mail and fill with potting mix and compost. We've collected a few knick-knacks, added a pot, marked out hills and houses and contemplated so much more. Its far from finished, but heres a picture anyway.

Oh and as we sat back with cold drinks in hand (daughter with water and Jack Daniels and dry for moi) it started to pour with rain. Only lasted 10 minutes or so but it was lovely and cooled the place down.

When my partner got home from work, and after he'd admired the new garden, we headed around to Dads place for dinner. Scotch fillet steak with mushroom and onion gravy, mash pumpkin and potato with boiled beans and carrot. Yum!! We watched 'Who wants to be a millionaire' with Eddy and David Attenborough's 'Life', good company and a few drinks, I couldn't have asked for a better day.
