Hi Darlene.Welcome to November. Just think another month and you will be into Winter:). Are you looking forward to that? and we have summer to look forward too. I see where you have turned your clock’s back this weekend. You get that extra hours sleep and suddenly the days are much shorter. We put our clocks forward the first Sunday of October.
Brrr..I bet that frost put a chill in the air. I always feel that with the first frost any warmth that may have been hanging around since summer is suddenly gone and won’t return until mid spring. Frosts are something that we get a lot of beginning with autumn through to late spring.
Re the Bananas, watermelons and fruit I didn’t mention. Yes, we grow all of those. To be honest I don’t think there is a fruit, vegetable or herb that isn’t grown somewhere in Australia. An English Dr once told me that Australians should never have to take supplementory vitamins because we are surrounded with fresh fruit and vegies not to mention the nuts. Locally, we harvest our pumpkins around May and store them through the Winter/spring. When we grew our own vegies the pumpkins and onions, we stored through until xmas or until we ran out. Just put them on wire mesh racks in the sheds/barns. Occasionally turning them and checking to make sure they were OK.
Last week was my busy and full week. It’s always that way the last week of the month. I had one day home out of seven. This week at this stage there are only two days I’ll be out so it will be much quieter.
Now Halloween is out of the way I guess the next thing is Thanksgiving. It’s not our thing here although the stores are pushing it simply for the money purpose. It may catch on one day in the future. Everything is changing. Have a good day and a pleasant week Darlene. ~Hugs Pat.
