A Wonderful Sunday...

Big day today... got up early to rosellas and my kookaburra waiting in the backyard for their breakfast and took a walk around to check for storm damage.  Plenty of branches down so more cleaning up this week.

Took the trailer down to Marg River to pick up mulberry tree from Chris and Ian.  Off course nothing is simple around here - took the ute to SupaGolf, intention was to take the trailer, empty the rubbish and head for MR.  Firstly the trailer was too full for the skip so decided to take theirs.  Haydn connected it up but no adaptor - searched high and low for it and cleaned out both the ute and the Ford to no avail.  Ended up taking the Ford.  Got there, found the mulberry too big to dig and too far advanced into budding for the season so decided to take cuttings instead - all that drama for a few cuttings! Never mind... At home, potted 60 cuttings. Graded them A, B or C according to their quality. Have them inside, in plastic tubs to simulate hothouses - think it will work quite well.

Finished off the kitchen design as Ross has asked for it for Monday. He probably doesn't need the detail I have done but it made sense to get it out of the way now - plans complete, materials chosen, colours picked. The drawings need a bit of improvement but ok for Rob to view when I come to Buly.

Cooked the eucalypt fruits and zillions of seeds burst forth!  Cant wait to get those going - the little jarrah seedling is still going strong.  Did I mention that there a dozens of little peppies growing down at the dam?  They must have enjoyed the turmoil of the dam enlargement and have sprouted in all the disturbed areas.  There are also many in the bush which is great - saves planting to thicken up that area.

Looked on the internet to price hothouses as i think we will need one sooner rather than later.  Won't break the bank but more interestingly i downloaded plans to build our own.  Will have a read of that over next few days and see if it is a worthwhile project.

More tomorrow...
