Building The Vegie Patch

We wanted to have a go at growing some veggies. I decided to build some raised garden beds so we could add a large amount of soil to give the veggies we planted the best start.
Over a weekend I had a go at building and rendering them as well. I must admit I was very happy at the end result. I am sure our veggies will taste great.






Now we just have to sit back and watch the veggies grow.

Halloween

For the last couple of years we had celebrated Halloween overseas so this year I decided that we would do the same back here in Australia. Our neighbour was taking his children out trick a treating so we decided to tag along.
We made sure that we had prearranged with some of our other neighbours that we would be popping by so they could have some sweets ready for the kids.
In the spirit of things I decided to put a little scene together near our front door which I think turned out really good, Paige just loved it.
It was very surprising that we where not the only ones out trick or treating I think we saw a total of another 20 children doing the same thing so it just goes to show trick a treating is becoming more popular here in Australia.
