About 80 or so bulbs are in our the front of the Guide Hall - hopefully some survive! (With many thanks to my attentive supervisors)

A picnic basket sits on pink and blue patterned blankets, next to a few food containers. It is dark, but lit by some multicoloured electric relight candles and a small lantern. The knees of three Senior Guides sitting around the edges of the blankets are visible.

A cluster of five navy and grey dome tents, all facing inwards at each other. They are pitched in a brown paddock (mostly clay - classic Innabaanya soil) with a backdrop of eucalypts and light grey overcast morning sky.

There's a bottlebrush bush poking into the right of this photo, and when I got up Saturday morning (my tent not pictured) I watched three different types of little birds visiting it (I think: Weebill, Eastern Spinebill, and a White-eared Honeyeater)

Home from camping with the girls and I am wreckity-wrecked! My poor feet!

At least the rain held off though - we only got some light misty stuff on the first morning and the tents were lovely and dry when they came down โค๏ธโ›บ

Quick update - I didn't love it. Flavour was fine, colour great, and after-taste pretty good. But the texture was like a floury watermelon and it made me sad.

Came across someone asking if it was harmful to buy harry potter media used.

I'm about to shock nobody who knows me, but: yes.

A little farmer's market haul for Saturday morning!

I'm kind of excited to try prickly pear fruit for the first time.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. Itโ€™s okay if you canโ€™t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

I really admire their creativity - these girls have such a great ability to make gorgeous things, and an incredible willingness to share that with their community.

A handmade box a bit larger than a shoebox sits on the top of a shelf of books. It has a rainbow coloured roof, a clear door, and contains several small artworks including one with pink and grey waves, one tiny Mona Lisa style portrait, and a frog. It has a sign that reads 'little free art gallery'

My Girl Guides made this super adorable Little Free Art Gallery to go with the little free library that lives at their local shops!
