This weekend was

not the weekend for getting much done on the farm.. it was too damn hot. Neither of us like the heat much but this weekend it really floored us.

We couldn't get accommodation for Saturday night so we stayed home and visited my Grandpa, went to the movies in the afternoon and stayed up way too late that night watching "Gone with the Wind".. :) Ray hadn't ever seen it (I have, many many times!) and I suspect that it was only Grandpa's recommendation that convinced him that 3 1/2 hours of technicolour and overdramatisation was a good idea!! haha! We both enjoyed it...

We were supposed to get up early Sunday for our day trip to the farm. We planned to get there by 9am but when we woke at 7.45 we realised that we were not going to beat the heat and that watering was going to be a real chore.

We plan to stay Easter Saturday and Sunday so the tent had to be put up and the floor fixed as our rabbit decided that last time she and the tent were in the same vicinity she would scratch the hell out of the floor. She was very close to becoming dinner that day but she lives on - away from the tent!

So we are prepared (somewhat) for our camping trip at Easter. We are expecting visitors on Easter Saturday which is very exciting for me as we've had visitors just once so far (other than our lovely neighbours of course ) - Mum and Al came up for the day last Easter. I can't believe that was a year ago. I'm really looking forward to showing our friends where our future lies..

Oh, the tomatoes have grown beautifully in the tyre garden but haven't ripened as yet.. any suggestions as to why?
