My daughter Kate arived a few days ago weather has been waarm and changable ah well. We headed out to the lake above As Pontes for a change yesterday and after trip traping our way over the Dam we found a lovely walk along the lake edge, First we looked at this little valley... then we looked at the next one.
Then Rowan got obsessed about picking bilberries.
And we headed out to Club nautico in the evening to see the sun set on our lake.Now that chicken pox has started to fade we were planning to go to the beach for the first time in what seems like ages but today is raining ...at least the park the van in the potato patch with the radio on strategy seems to have helped fend off the wild boar - they popped in the night before last and borrowed some of our potatoes, we did not notice untill all of the shops had closed so we managed not to buy an electric fence again.
I have managed to move my office outside most days
Sunflowers are doing fine with a few gazenias at their toes
We have a fair bit of this on the garden not sure what it is but it is welcome to stay
This is just what you don't want to see on potatoes and all that activity leads to this...
they are pretty endemic here and a lot of spraying goes on - we have managed not to spray the potatoes so far but have picked a few hundred of them off and are cropping potatoes as fast as we can
Maize is coming along well
And the strawberries are doing fine too
