A glorious warm sunny day and time to reclaim the garden, get on the tractor, slash the grass along the road, mulch, harvest the broccoli and prepare the ground for summer veggies. Last year, despite the lack of rain, the tomatoes, silver beet and zucchini were a great success. This year maybe the beans will survive. The water tanks are full and with careful management should last through summer.
By mid-morning there were four friends working with Di and when lunch time rolled around, it was a garden salad around the big round table overlooking the river and more stories from the campaign, some about prepolling and some about election day. There’s a book somewhere in all this.
The wind came up around 3.00pm. There’s rain on the way.
