The hoops are intriguing, Do you have to do much gardening? All the animals are adorable, well caught. Did you think of the tag line first and then take the photos, or was it just an “ah-ha” moment when you saw them all?
Saw lineup possibilities first, when I saw Em and Cattums, and then went hunting for lineups. The hoops looked like a commercial venture using a method I’ve lost the name of, dammit! Probably got culture in it somewhere. J built a big hooped garden, and dug the dirt over ready to plant: no photos because it was a surprise for F & G when they got back. J couldn’t wait to get home and start his own garden. I’m not a gardener.
Don’ be sorry they are not very entertaining. These days I get more enjoyment from my blogging community. But I do watch some of the excellent documentaries.
You’re not wrong! My daughter was happy with the state of her animals – even babcia Connie, the albino, was alive and thriving. She was possibly going to die on our last watch, three years ago. F left us the phone number of the back-hoe man for decent burial then.
Ãœber many other things too! Rosie was on the equivalent of the pill, and my daughter had no idea she was pregnant when she entrusted her to us. We are now home and away from the logistics of animal care.
The hoops aren’t F’s. I spotted them as I was thinking “lineup”, along Gentle Rd where the wattles were blooming amongst the granite. I couldn’t get close enough to see.

Like that idea of getting an idea then going on a photography safari… So the hoops are not on your daughters property?

No. Both she and her partner work insane weeks, so they need a garden of minimal work, that produces just enough for them.

You need to put captions on your photos Meg – as I always have so many questions about your images. Is this ALL on your daughter’s smallholding?

No way is it all on her block. Fence, yards and raised garden beds (lost the word for it) aren’t. Alpacas, dogs and cat are!

What is growing under the half-hoops? The animals are in wonderful shape. F will be happy to be re-united with them, and you.
