seed box, rice, yoga

Evening net go-ers.

Today went really well considering that there was torrential (I do not lie) rain all day & we couldn't do any of or normal post office/park/random nature walks, Instead we did some drawing & Trystan helped me to pack up some of his toys, we raided my shell collection looking for nice new shells for his hermit crabs & we started some seedlings at Trystans request this is when I realised my seed box may be a tad out of hand.

I am led to believe that most normal people would have maybe 30 packets of seed, I however probably have closer to 300, I see exiting heritage varieties & I want to try it all, I have 30 kinds of tomatoes, 11 beans, 4 peas, 3 parsnips (one home saved) 14 eggplants, 17 capsicums 5 corn & the list goes on there are things I'm sure I have that I can't find like spinach kale & endive & things I didn't know I bough which I thought I'd just considered, I don't currently have the yard space for this though in all fairness I did at my last home which I rented for 3 years, there I had of 50square metres of garden beds with space to play in between.

Our planting went well although I am concerned about germination in this slight chill & I am disappointed that I didn't get the tomato anything started one because of the rain & chill & two because of trying to think up good 4 year old activities.

We did some yarn dying working on coordinating solids to go with the finished blends & photographed the 7 I have ready which are now up on etsy &  facebook.  I really want to sell some more so I can buy more wool to play with, I have some fleece ready for photographing once the sun is up & shiny.

I used the chicken from yesterdays dinner & made awesome rice to with it recipe as follows
1 chopped onion
6 cloves of garlic
tsp of paprika
tsp of coriander mush
half a tsp of crushed coriander seeds
1 cup of stock
1 cup of water
1 cup of jasmine rice
Add it to the pot in that order & it ends up fantastically flavoursome & full of body.
Chicken carcass is now ready to be frozen & souped.

After all of this I am proud to say that I'm getting tryst back into his normal sleeping pattern, It always makes me happy to get him washed & brushed & happily picture booked chapter booked & asleep before 9 it's better for both of us.

What does tomorrow hold? I really don't know I don't have a huge amount of cold wet weather activities in the front of my mind but I'll have to come up with some, I really don't like it which I can't get outside to play oh & for future reference I want nice outdoor furniture with drag inside-able cushions so I can sit on a chair occasionally  or eat on a table like a civilised lady of old.
