Good Morning,
Well I do hope you are all OK with this dreadful Heat and wind or fires that is going on around the countryside at the moment. We are ok here just this damn wind to deal with as it dries the garden out so much.
One more show to go for this year this Fri - Sun at Country Heart Events Glennie School Hall in Herries Street (Western End) Toowoomba. Although I only do 1 or 2 a month I am finding it gets harder and harder to be there when the weather starts to get hot. I did a 12 hour Event on Saturday and am still recovering even though I have been drinking lots of fluids including Coconut water ( I find it rehydrates better than water) . I drank almost a 5 litre cooler and a other bottled water as well as had shaved ice on Saturday and the Cool Tie was a great help across the back of the neck.
I did make one discovery and found out just how good my Summer Mist product is as well. Even though it was tested by me and a few other people when I first started making it I never realised how refreshing it was until in the heat on Saturday. It is lovely and cooling and a quick reviver if sprayed correctly. I just sprayed it around my neck and my forehead as well as on the cheeks avoiding the eye area. I used Rose fragrance and it was so nice plus the fragrance stayed around for quite sometime. Nothing like trying a product under extreme conditions I was suitably impressed.
Will be getting more of this ready for summer so look for it on the page and website as well as the DDH (Darling Downs Handmade) Shop in Wilsonton Shopping Centre.
My garden suffered in the heat of the last few days as I was to busy to ramp up the watering until yesterday so everything was wilting but it got a good watering yesterday and some areas another soaking today and hopefully will spring back to life. Plants can take the heat but when you have strong (up to 60 klm) hot west Nor West winds blowing then the moisture that may be there is soon sucked out. I have lost one of the new dahlias I planted as wind blew it over and the stem snapped. It was the first one to bud so now they are all tied up to stakes to try to save the rest. I have them and the vegetables under shade cloth but the damn wind keeps snapping off the stakes I use to hold it up so I am in a catch 22 out there but will get past it I hope.
Mac and Megz have a visitor staying at the moment. Bindi from next door is here for a week while her parents go on holiday. I have 2 followers and sometimes 3 following where ever I go particularly if it is the kitchen or near there. They all were sitting up waiting form when I got home at 10.30pm on Saturday but yesterday they were so tired. Megz didn't wake up until 9am and then they all went down for snooze time again at 10am. Mac and Bindi were up at 6am but were quite happy to have snooze time and then Nanny Nap later.
Well that is about all for now. Don't forget no more Markets or Shows after this weekend but you can still shop on line , Facebook, or telephone as well as at the DDH Shop in Toowoomba. Check out the Free delivery requirements on website as well.
Take Care, Be Safe in whatever you are doing and be kind to each other.
Blessings
