grey water

we've been growing tomatoes, strawberries, basil and chilli. Mr A is an avid gardener thanks to his nonni and daycare mum. I sneeze and itch too much in the garden, but I do enjoy looking at them. Because of our water restrictions we have been watering these plants entirely from a bucket of water kept in my shower. Almost every day we trudge down the stairs with the heavy bucket to give them a drink. It is amazing how much water you collect even from short showers. Great for pot plants that don't get much rain.

swimming and sewing

I've started the binding on Miss M's new quilt. I left the room for only a few minutes and returned to find this little helper making himself quite cozy. Maybe he wants me to make him a quilt too.  The weather is heating up so the kids convinced us it was time to wet their toes in our pool. We have started lessons again, so I'm hoping that by the end of this summer they will be swimming like little tadpoles!
