Rain!

At last we have had some rain, followed by some fine days, and then some more rain. The garden looks likes spring as everything perks up, dew drops shine on cobwebs, the wax eyes clean up the last of the tomatoes, and clean washing flaps on the line (it is so nice to have water to wash and fine weather to dry it as well!) We took the opportunity in the weekend to plant some peppermint scented gums and a pohutukawa that have been sitting waiting for the rain for a while.
On Fridays Ali's school has choosing day and the kids are allowed to make or do what they choose. Since we got the guinea pigs every Friday Ali comes home with some new home or playground for them. Generally the piggles seem a little non-plussed by Ali's efforts but it's hard to tell with piggles.

Ali's friend Asher and her older brother popped by in the weekend, they played happily all afternoon and the four kids demolished a whole bucketful of little feijoas and saved me having to turn them into cake :-) the feijoas, not the kids.
