Blackberry picking

Not much tastes better than freshly picked blackberries warm from the sun *smile*

Soon we had tell-tale blue fingers and lips

We had ventured out late on a muggy afternoon

To share in the spoils of nature

Watching Master D pick the ripe berries with my mum brought back memories of my brothers and I doing the same thing, many moons ago

 How special to share the same joy with my little ones

Warmly, Kelly

Down on the farm

Chooky, chook, chook‘  ~ I can’t help but say this (repeatedly to my Husband’s *delight*) whenever chooks are near 🙂

So when we visited the family farm, where my brother-in-law has over 200 chooks you bet I was ‘chooky, chook, chook-ing’ up a storm!

And interestingly, I discovered recently from Adventure Academy Mom that the word ‘chook’ isn’t well known outside of Australia… but here we often call chickens chooks!

Master D and Little Miss Q enjoyed meeting George the Rooster and seeing all the chooks.

Eggs were collected for my brother-in-law to sell to local restaurants and shops. He’s done a great job setting up his chook farm (chookery? lol)

We also got to see some new little chicks, so soft and sweet

At the farm they also grow lots of veggies… potatoes, beans, pumpkin, lettuce to name a few…. and gorgeous flavoursome strawberries!

Happy days, Kelly
