Horse buddies and potatoes

 And then there was Jack.....

Jack and his Mum, Nigella (???!!!) have become buddies with Peanut and Donna.

Gorgeous little things.

It's been terrible weather here today. I'm surprised the roof is still intact.
 The wind has been gale force and our poor builders have frozen to death out there.

However, after days of measuring, sawing, nailing, measuring again, lifting, climbing, crouching in confined spaces and using all manner of electrical appliances, the frame is now complete.

( Bill is still eyeing off that pile of scraps....)

 We are hoping the roof will arrive tomorrow.

I noticed the potatoes that we bought ages ago, still sitting in their bags in the laundry and remarked to Bill that we really should plant them somewhere.

 In fact I think my words were....."Let's just poke them in that pile of dirt up the back there!"
Then on my afternoon walk I saw this.....

Bill could never just poke something in the ground!
He even taped the bags together in the order in which they were planted.
Dutch Cream, Ruby Lou and Kippler.
 Bless him!

I am looking forward to reading this article about strawberries that appeared in last week's Weekly Times.

Mum's friend Olwyn gave us these and they are starting to show lots of new, fresh growth.
I didn't know you could have so many different varieties.

We still have freesias to pick....

....and I started another cushion cover this afternoon. 

Flynn sent Amy (Ahmee) a birthday video message.
This is how he looked in the video.

This little boy makes our hearts sing.
