Getting Ready for Winter.

I hear you @Annie C    have been waiting for this.  This is our time of year with beautiful weather.  I have one jumper and one jacket.  Just had a sheet over me last night.   Mind you trade off at the end of the year isn't so great, but boy am I going to make the most of these dry season months ahead.    xo

@kitkatb
This is the time of the year when I know I live in God's Paradise. 

People come to holiday, and I live here!

However, ask me in March and I will snarl, "I'm not staying another wet season".

 I have been saying that for 25 wet seasons.

You know of course us southerners are NOT feeling sorry for you @Annie C. We got UP to 19 yesterday. 😁😘

19 degrees? Been around 12 or 13 here. Good practice for holidays!!

19* wow well it was 0.3* this morning and frosts on my veggies so today will be a wrapped up day with veggies harvesting and cooking up things 

I am not looking forward to winter as my body hates it now the cold just seems to invade my bones and it hurts... 
but stop whinging and get out and harvest I say to self....

I think I'm ready

But @Zoffiel, what are you going to do after the first month? Winter is for three months officially.

Zoffiel

I know @blossom1961 ! And what if it is a nuclear winter? Fret...More redneck rehab required, just in case.

SoldierCrab

I reckon that is only about 8wks supply @Zoffiel
what are you going to do for the other 8wks if we get a nuclear winter ? 
PORT and Whiskey sound like another option

Oh dear @Zoffiel, we ARE making you work hard 😘💕

'S OK. If I'm at risk of freezing to death I think I've got enough stuff to build a still.
Fuelled by bits of bark, I can ferment and distill the 100 odd pumpkins ( not kidding about the quantity or quality) that are strewn all through the garden. Pumpkin brandy could be a 'thing'.or I could go up in flames or die of methanol poisoning. I come from a long line of hillbillies, it's all been done before

Winter is coming...

(Someone had to!)

Awesome woodpile @Zoffiel - all neat and chopped up!

And filed @jennyss Heaven forbid the stringy bark gets mixed up with the yellow box. Or the red box with the  yellow. Then the red gum has to be separated into dry, very dry and 'still has bark on it'. Once a librarian, always a librarian..
