The Pumpkin Patch - Nature in the Garden - Part Two

A couple of months ago there were some self-seeded little plants in our main family garden, two of which I was allowed to transplant into a patch that I dug under our playhut. We think they are either Pumpkin or Cucumber plants. Meanwhile another one of those self-seeded plants has grown in the main garden and there is a little pumpkin on it which hopefully soon will be a wonderful dinner for our family.

Nature in the Garden - Part One

This morning when us three biggies came home from the farm M asked A2 to show us the "juicy caterpillar" as A2 called it while taking us. Once we got there, sure enough, there was a very "juicy caterpillar" on one of the two Swan Plants in E10's garden!!!

The Holidays !!!!!!!!!!

We came home a couple of days ago from our Christmas Break and Holidays (sigh). We had a wonderful time in the beautiful summer weather while in Tauranga for Christmas before heading to Lake Rotoiti in the beautiful Rotorua Lakes District, on Boxing Day. We enjoyed helping cook and eat a Hangi for Christmas dinner, playing cricket in two venues, with two different cousins, swimming in a river, lakes and at Ohope, in the sea, sailing, tramping up a ridge we didn't know you could get up, riding on 'biscuits' behind various kind people's motor boats, camping outside the bach, trying to kill a possum that was making a large racket at night above our tents, picking and eating plums and doing heaps of other fun things together. Here are some pics:
