Or it should be...soon I hope.
I figured it's about time for an update. I've started studying nursing and my god is it full on. I cannot wait to embark on a career in it. As long as I can handle the people I'm working with I reckon I'll do okay. Prac begins in about 7 weeks and no one is sure where we're going but luckily I'm in a good position to go anywhere. No children, no tricky work commitments, fairly free. In the meantime I'll be concentrating on study 3 days, work 4 days, study 3 days, work....It's working so far! As long as it continues to do so I'll be killing it. My other half is lucky in that he's still working fulltime hours (seasonally) so we hope Europe is a viable option come June. Wish us luck!
Back to the present.
This afternoon I finally got a moment to redo the poor chooks bedding. I bought some rice bed hulls from the produce store I work at. Some people are all for them, for their hypoallergenic qualities and others are against them in the belief that it's no better than any other bedding material. I might as well find my opinion on the debate (It doesn't sound like much to debate but some people are rather antsy when it comes to the bedding their prize horses are stabled in at night).
The garden needs some TLC but we're bringing in a sumptuous tomato crop still, and it's March now. The corn is beginning to mature, it was sown late.
The beans are providing about twice a week for dinner and we've collected a few pumpkins off the vine. The capsicum are beginning to swell and the basil, thyme and mint are all proliferating through the garden (and pots). The Jerusalem artichoke are beginning to bloom and flower, such a lovely flower.
And I've always got my trusty help, Zali, by my side, under every step. I don't believe a house can be a home without a dog (or two). Town living is dreary in many ways for us mountain souls but the upside is the perfect growing weather. To every down there is an up (generally).
