Lily's scraped nose had just about healed today, with the scab falling off last night, when she took another tumble today and it opened up again. We think she was pushed by Ali but no one saw it and Ali swears she is innocent so we'll just have to give her the benefit of the doubt. Karen and I got off to a late start today after a lovely night over at our friends' house. We didn't get home until around midnight although both Ali and Lily had fallen asleep long before then and we all fell into bed. We began the day with digging over a garden bed while the girls amused themselves feeding worms and tomatoes to the chickens. We then planted a couple of Walnut trees down the bottom end of our paddock and put up some electric fencing in preparation for Wayne the farmer to bring his cows in to graze next week some time. As I write the first of the forecast rain showers is beginning to fall and we are hoping it will last. We are down to about a foot and a half from the end of our water supply. We have had an unusually long and mild Summer this year and I am also wearing a pullover for the first time this year. We have a couple of DVD's to entertain ourselves and the girls tomorrow if the weather should prove too inclement for outdoor activities however, if it doesn't rain, we'll be out there in the garden again planting our crops for Winter. Well I'm very ready for some shut eye and I'm pretty sure Karen is too so that's all for now.
