Snoskred – Life in the Country

Newly planted, can’t wait to see how they do.

Even though it is a rainy day here today nothing keeps us from the awesomeness of the backyard for too long, so in a break from the downpour when it was just spitting and rain was falling like flakes of snow instead of water, I opened the door and the kitties rushed out, then I followed with a tomato and apple treat for the chooky girls.

The Other Half was doing some weeding around the water feature when he thought he saw the body of the fish which died a few months ago. Turns out it was not a body it was a live fish, and it has been existing in there somehow for several months without us feeding it – I gave up when I kept not seeing it and figured it had expired.

It does not like people so it just hides under the fountain part of the water feature and that is why we never saw it..

My good friend Sephy who I have never met in person arrives in Australia this weekend. We have multiple plans of awesomeness, and at the end of that we fly off to Hawaii with my parents – Sephy on his way home to the US, and me for a happy holiday and shopping trip.

I’ll try to put some pics up of our antics touring various places in Australia and certainly you will hear all about the shopping in Hawaii.

Happy moments for all!

The garden is looking very awesome and I’ll update with some pics later this week when I have a moment.

I’ve been nowhere near any kind of regular soft drink in over a year now. It may even be longer than that, I can’t be sure.

I made the switch to mineral water. This was not an overnight love or even like. It took effort and determination on my part to learn to like it. Now, when I rarely end up with a soft drink as a surprise, it is far too sweet for me and I can’t drink it.

One of the things that helped me to learn to like it was adding fresh fruit to it. I often added slices of lemon or lime but then one day I added strawberries and that soon became my favourite. Then I tried slicing up an orange the way I like to slice them up – this is also one of my favourites. I put all the orange slices into a cup and then add mineral water.

This way you get a serve of fruit with your drink.

It is awesome, it tastes fantastic. I highly recommend it. Great summer drink!
