Monday meanderings - In the garden and other stuff

Yesterday we did some gardening, well weeding really, it's an ongoing thing as in like forever!

Joe tidied the 'soon to be a proper greenhouse, only been a frame for ages' area

 It looked better after a couple of hours, even the hedge got a trim

 Not wanting to waste all of the hedge trimmings I've got some in trays which I dipped in hormone rooting powder and hopefully I'll save a small fortune on hedging for the garden. My strawberries patch is a mess..on to do list. And tiny little purple flowers on the pittosporum hedge, cute.

We have some ferns growing behind the water tank, one is quite big and is unfurling a new frond called a koru (loop) in Maori, isn't it just beautiful?

The girls

 

Poplar trunks

 Lichen

Jinx the gymnast

Max smells a rat!

Clyde sulking ('But I really wanted to herd the goats..humph!)

Perhaps the rat came this way....or was it a possum?

Clyde needs a bigger stick!

Tiger blending in with his surroundings..it's what tigers do..

..and now I'm off to put my feet up and do some crocheting (another bag, I'll explain about the other one another day) and as Joe is on nights and I'm home alone I'm going to watch my fav programmes!

See ya next time ♥

Monday meanderings - Cat-tiness.....

It's not been the kind of day that you would want to meander around the farm, what with almost four seasons in a day. Needless to say I never got to Spotlight, I couldn't be arsed with driving into town.

So we'll meander around the house instead......

Cleopatra is not alone, I have a few catty things around the home

Not quite sure what these are made of but they heavy and cold stone like stuff!

A pottery cat, odd looking I know but he does have a certain appeal

Lightweight wood, possible balsa, this one has nearly been returned to the op shop, he is constantly falling off the shelf when I dust, luckily that doesn't happen too often!

My collection of Quarry critter cats, made of quarry stone. All of them have names that begin with 'C'

(you might want to enlarge this one)

This is Chico - of course he is :D

The madam herself, Jinx the Minx

Execu-cats, Jinx in ambush mode and Tiger in a box! That's them to the tee!

(found at an opshop)

The 'wobbly head' cat will meet you at the door along with her doggy friend

This one hangs on the wall

 

 ..and last but by no means least Tiger (Tiggy tiggy toiger) he's dah man! ♥

I suppose you could call them a bit of a collection, what do you collect?

See ya next time ♥
