This is the wet season

We are hanging on here, enduring the heat and humidity, while watching an approaching cyclone.

      I love the way they seem to be just about to fall at any moment!

    Hope the cyclone's a fizzer and does no damage - just crosses the coast, moves inland and brings some nice gentle rain to those that badly need it.

      Roz,
      It looks as though it might do just that, although they are so unpredictable.

    I love this photo, what a face. I hope the cyclone fades away with no severe weather. It's so good to see a warm frog and green leaves; we're extremely cold here.

      So far it looks as though it is heading further south, but it is bringing rain which is a good thing for those further inland.

    I don't care too much for frogs, but that is one cool looking frog. Did you take the photo? Very nice capture.
    Hope the cyclone doesn't cause too much damage, and that it moves on to other areas.

      Virginia,
      Yes I did - in my front yard - we have lots of these frogs - they love the wet weather. It is still a tropical low but is bringing lots of rain.

    I'm sure that I am strange but I love frogs. Something about their cute little "hands" and their cute little back lets. Weird I know but that picture made my heart sing.

    Your frog looks soooo much happier than the one I posted today. It's always a tense time when we watch for hurricanes too. I hope all goes well with you, always!

      Lesa,
      These ones always look as though they are smiling. Dylan the Cyclone has headed down south and caused quite a bit of flooding - hope it continues on inland a bit where there has been some major drought.

Book festival and butterflies

 Since I am now officially a published author, I attended the book festival!  What fun to hang out with other authors.   My table was a bit different to the other authors, since I did not have a pile of books to purchase, but a QR code, and lots of examples of what you can make when you buy my book.  Amazons main e-book platform is kindle, and this will scare some people away.  The thing is that kindle eBooks can easily be read on a laptop or desktop with an app called kindle for web. In fact this is the preferred way that I like to read books like this.  You can easily link to each of the chapters, it is all in colour, and you can bookmark pages.  You may strike it lucky and get it on one of the days the book is free. Here is a link to purchase the book from Amazon Crafting with the fabric we have I had a few items as giveaways for those purchasing a book, and by far the most popular was my little fabric origami butterflies.  I am going to l...

Healthy garden greets me on return from holiday

Image
One of the first things I did after returning from three weeks away was to survey the garden.  The lychee tree is full of leaves, and most of the plants underneath it have recovered quite well from the sudden blast of sunshine. Luckily we have had a little rain to ease the way, and my darling hubby has been watering. Of course it also allowed a spate of weeds to grow up everywhere!  Among the weeks are plenty of cherry tomato plants which I have left where they volunteered. They fill in the gaps and hopefully will give us some tomatoes.  This has not been a good year for tomatoes - maybe not enough sunny days to ripen them.  We often have cloud cover and I think they like clear sunny days, or so they tell me!  It is warm though - I have not stopped swimming all through the winter, other than when I was away. The gardens seems quite happy.  In the veggie garden the kale, lettuce and carrots have come along well...

I am a worm farmer!

Well, as you know I have been trying to fit my new compost tumbler into my composting schedule.  You are supposed to stop topping it up at some stage and then let it finish off before transferring to the stand alone compost bin.   The thing is that I am not sure what to do with the kitchen waste that accumulates while the tumbler batch is processing (about 4- 6 weeks.)   I have lots of leaves, and they seem to take forever to break down too!  The kitchen scraps compost down quickly but the leaves take ages....So I keep adding to the tumbler, and it is in fact now getting rather full and a bit heavy, so something had to be done. This is what it looks like.  and inside: A worm farm, everyone suggested....    I have only ever heard of one person with a worm farm in this climate.  Recently though, I saw an honesty stall with bottles of worm wee.  Hubby looked the other way when I went to put my coins in the jar and pick up a bottle....
