I live on two acres In an area which sadly is being developed. I have chickens and grow all my own fruit and veggies and can't imagine ever going back to living in a 'normal' house. I left working full time and entered retirement abruptly, family commitments, but now I wonder how I fitted everything in. I hope you enjoy yours and I look forward to reading about all your new adventures.Dawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-26656272641220588732017-03-22T10:22:18.691+10:302017-03-22T10:22:18.691+10:30What a fabulous day you had!

I love the comment about the fly swat as they can be messy if you are a good shot. Do you have one of those special lids on your kombucha which don't cause explosions. I can't remember what they are called and only use bottles with that type of lid on my kefir. Is it 'clamp down' or something like that?

Thank you both for saving those bees, we have to do all we can to help those little fellas! And those figs!!!!! I pay $1.20 each for them at the local markets, and that is cheap compared to the supermarket! I just love anything "fig".Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900993246451486017noreply@blogger.com
