Last of November

Friday Evening and we have had a hot couple of days, 34C and about the same tomorrow.

### Lot of preparation for the Christmas carols in December.  I won't bore you with the details..LOL
I've  usually started writing our Christmas cards by now.  Well I've bought them and the stamps.

### A serious side of the week: I was invited by my friend whose sister died in Ireland to gather with her and friends to pray on the day of the funeral.

### We have still worked in the vege patch morning and evening, and I planted dwarf marigolds along the front  of it this morning. Some good old fashioned cardboard kept the sun off them on this blistering day, and the rocket I planted out yesterday is OK too.  Barry has been making protection from the sparrows and white cabbage moths for those that don't need the help of the bees.... the strawberries, lettuce, spinach, silver beet, kohl rabi, and kale and setting up a little irrigation scheme.

### I'm taking down "My Sunday Quote".  I was enjoying joining in some blog parties and thought it was a good idea, and that others might join me.   Never mind, it didn't work out.

This is another Christmas song that we liked at the thank you lunch we attended this week

The interesting thing about blogging is the way it changes over time. I have tried introducing new things that didn't take off; and others have. It keeps us fresh!

Enjoy the warmth we are having gusty winds and down pours of rain it isn't a cold storm thankfully but it is a noisy one I have a littered yard of pine needles and the street is so covered you can not see any pavement.
I have my stamps ready and some cards but I so want to do a family photo it just never is easy getting the adult kids schedules to meet up with mine I better get to writing just cards!!
The Sunday Quote might take off another time I know the poem writing challenges sometimes make bloggers distracted from blogging :)
I enjoyed reading yours :)

Hi Jan!! :) Hope you're doing well and having a great week!! Maybe you can try your Sunday Quote again in the future, I thought it was a wonderful idea!! :) I think it's awesome that you've got your garden going!! Every year, I plan in my head this beautiful little garden that will provide us food...I have yet to actually make it happen. Maybe this coming year!! Have a blessed day!
