Doubt we'll be able to write anything meaningful about this for our blog, , but it feels good to be able to sit with a book again.

All year now, and no time for our favourite things.

Homesteading is backbreaking stuff.

There will come a day where you just can't take all of it anymore... where you desperately need a shower, and a change of scenery... where the children need to play.

The water tank stand is only going up this week, so we're still manually fetching water on most mornings from the neighbouring section.
There may not be a lot of it, but there's always enough to share with our pop-up tomatoes.

“But I’m not a monster, am I?”
- Maddie, 🐍

There have been sightings of Mozambican cobras in our area, and the general attitude towards snakes here is pretty hostile.
I, on the other hand, am fascinated by snakes, and refuse to be fearful. Not until they pose an actual threat to my family, perhaps.

Flipped a rock and found one had come through the yard, very close to the house. Called my children to see the skin and their eyes widened as all sorts of questions jumped from their mouths.

Would have been nice to actually see the snake though. Don’t know what I would have done in that moment, but I tell my boys to try and avoid freaking out. No need to scare the snake into a reaction, I figure.

“I’m ugly, you’re ugly, we should all be ugly. Ugly is the new beautiful.” 💛😁

"I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange."

Shimmy hit a pothole yesterday and got a double puncture. Called us at dawn this morning so we could go get new tyres. We picked him up in this beast.

Were never car people, till we met this monster.

Sometimes the days are so long, that all you can do when you get back home from work is sit on a mount of dirt and dig your feet into it.
