There's been a little war and peace here. Work to be done, work being done, goodies to nibble fresh from the patch, baddies being nibbled by goodies fresh in the patch and little critter friends....
A balance of good and evil, hard work and rest...
even if enforced rest...
We've been struck with a nasty tummy bug.... literally one by one within hours we each succumbed to it's assault... in an almost comical matter really even to the point of being forced to share the same puke bowls at certain points (it's hard for any Mama to care for others in the throes of ill when her tummy is doing the exact same thing). Sorry for the detailed visual there but that's been the reality in our house this last week. Good news is we are all on the mend.
Before that though life was all about shifting the contents of those numerous yellow bags up there and digging out concrete and demolishing one rotten side fence... finally. Excitement mixed with dread at the changes about to take place in my beloved garden and just how much work is going to be involved.
I've given you a little sneak peak in there of what my mulched paths are going to look like...some of it I managed to complete before being forced back indoors to nurse the ills. Three and a half of those bags are gone.....
and I know the others are still there waiting.....and with more pavers due to arrive today....
life will again get back to being about those bags and our garden....
War on the bugs...
Peace in the garden...
or is that the other way around with all that heavy hard work waiting?
nah
Peace in the garden it is!

I hope you are all feeling better! Your garden path is so lovely, its exactly the look I wanted... love it!
Hi Leanne, so glad you are all on the mend.
Your garden is looking amazing. Mine looks like a backhoe has been in and several dozen ducks would really enjoy paddling about out there.
Those strawberries look yummy. I'm thinking of planting a couple of raspberries when we finally get it together.

hope you are all feeling better. those bugs are nasty things aren't they! good food for chickens but they seem to do so much damage before the chooks can get to them.
