Autumn?

The King Parrots love the seeds on the Japanese Maples

and feast on them each Autumn.

I followed my ears to something rustling in the trees

and found this immature male and his dad

munching and happy to pose for a few photos.

But does this mean that Autumn is here?

I am not ready yet!

Reducing my Blogging footprint

Blogging has proven to be a wonderful activity.

What started off just as an effort to record

my gardening and greening efforts,

has provided a thread that has woven its way

through my days.  

As I go about my day, 

blogging opportunities present themselves

and out comes the camera.

I enjoy the feeling of community

that blogging brings.

However, I find that it is taking up a lot of time and head-space

 that I could spend on other things.  

So...I am no longer going to try to blog every day 

and I am going to try to limit my posts to the original purposes 

of documenting the garden 

and my efforts to reduce my carbon footprint on our little blue planet.  

Cooking from scratch and 

cooking using produce from the garden will continue to appear.

Goats and chooks will pop in from time to time to say g'day.

The truth is, you may not notice too much of a change....

especially this time of the year when so much is going on in the garden.

But I think I will feel the change once the

pressure to produce something each day has gone.

Maybe less is best anyway!
