Old garden, new position

It's lovely just to hang around the house once in a  while. Today I just loitered and it felt great. I'm having such busy weeks that I absolutely want to stop when the weekend arrives. I've been finding some interesting things on youtube for Zem to watch. He loves watching cars going over jumps and bumps. I'ver grabbed down some rally car footage.

Originally, I was planning to go with my father in law and raid some bee hives but the day started overcast and we didn't end up going. We did get our old raised garden bed though. A lot of the good soil we had has been used at the old place to fill some of the holes and divots. So, we're starting again with the soil. It won't be so bad. We've grabbed some sheep and chicken manure, as well as some lucerne hay and some other garden soil. Tomorrow, Sharlene will be putting these on and planting some peas. Azariah it seems has come down with an ear infection. Yay. Well we'll see what tomorrow brings us.

A New Place to Live

We are really enjoying our new house. Only it isn't really a house. More of a unit.  In any case, we are enjoying it. We've actually thrilled at the challenge of throwing out all our resources. First making electronic copies of it all and then binning the piles of paper.  The boys have taken the transition really well and don't seem to be missing our old place much at all. Zemiel came with me last week to mow the lawns there and didn't seem to attached.

Zemiel has only been back a week after spending 5 days in Brisbane with tests and assessments galore. Azariah spent the week with me. I, in turn, farmed him out to friends and family. We had a great week, although our dog had decided to abandon us when he could.

Diesel hasn't taken the move well. On the second day he jumped the low fence and was off. We found him down the road and I bought an static correction collar and system. After setting it up, it has taken Diesel quite a while to get used to it. He got zapped and has been quite shy of it ever since. Although, one day while I was at work, he still jumped out getting zapped and all. He didn't want to come back either when I eventually found him. He's been living in the house more than out of it, just to get his equilibrium back.

Today, the church had a youth rally and so Sharlene went to the afternoon meetings and I kept Zem home. We ended up taking the dog for a walk to the nearby park. Zem rode a small little car toy that really is too small for him. We nearly got carried away with mozzies too, but we loved it. Zem is just amazed by big spiders and their webs. It is one of his best motivational thoughts at them moment. We found a huge one the other day and we took a photo. (coming soon).

Zekiah is now sitting up confidently and is getting very interactive. We've moved his cot into the boys room and it seems to be working so far.  I'll try to convince Sharlene to give a review of her Brisbane trip shortly. Suffice to say that there is both good and bad news.  More later.
