Well-the first fine day in quite a while inspired a watery response from the children.
Armed with water guns, the hose and an
Unsuspecting sprinkler, they proceeded
To cause as much water damage as possible
To themselves, each other, my laundry,
And the trampoline, which was the
Reluctant site of the battle.
Much squealing ensued!
I had thoughts of gardening in mind.
We are planning a considerable
Reshuffle.
But more on that later!
Washing the vehicles parked in my
Driveway won over.
But then, with the sun still beaming on
Sunny Mosgiel
I happened to glance around and spied
Orbs of lustrous purplish black
Glistening behind a leafy expanse of foliage.
It was time....
To pick the black currants.
This task always fills me with mixed parts dread and pleasure.
I find the tarty lusciousness of this berry quite irresistable ...
But the task of picking, cleaning and
Preserving them is sometimes
Daunting to say the least!
And so I began...
Nana leant her willing and able hands
For a short time. And little miss N also came to my aid for a shorter time, and with less able hands, and a much more voracious appetite!
Despite all else this was the result of
My evening's work.
