Fish for our pond.

March 4, 2010
As part of our attempt to become more self sufficient,
we now have fish in our dam that we can catch and eat!
10 catfish to keep the dam clean. We won’t be eating these guys. (no scales!)
and 100 golden perch for eating! Well, in about a year when they are big enough…

equalising the water temperature for them…
Jonah telling dad how it all goes…
pouring in some of the pond water first so the fishies don’t freak out and die!
Bye, little fishies! Eat up, grow big and strong…watch out for the yabbies and the turtles!!!
if only the vegetable garden was this easy….

Sketch Tuesday ~ Hats

February 24, 2010

For the last 2 weeks we have participated in Sketch tuesday with Barb at Harmony Art Mom. It’s a great way to get the kids to draw as they are excited to see their sketches with others on the web each week. This week’s assignment was ‘Hats’.

(don’t you love the eyelashes???)
I schedule in an art class 2 times a week; wednesday and friday mornings, and currently we are working through the lessons in ‘Drawing with Children’ by Mona Brookes. I’m actually learning to draw too!
