Either a hose or a bucket. The hoses and buckets are the photo bombers on the farm. I am so used to seeing them strategically placed everywhere that I don’t notice until too late that there is either a hose or a bucket in so many of my shots. Homestead Farmers use lots of hoses and lots of busking buckets apparently.
Our rain came to nothing yesterday.
So I will be dragging the hoses today.
There is only one outside tap on the property. This tap has one long hose attached to it then every other destination has its own hose running back to the main hose. So I disconnect and reconnect often. And you get hoses in all your shots.
I think there are five hoses. Maybe more. I will count today.
Almost all of them are bandaged due to leaks so I try to set the leaky part of the hose to fill something or water something.
Oh wait I have a little pond vid for you. Stand by. It might load.
The children caught me some catfish at the big house pond. So now there are four blue hills and two catfish in there.
It is not too hot yet- but the hogs still love their wallow.
The glasshouse
Dinner!! The first zuchinni of the season! Even though it is has been hurried along in the glasshouse.
Do you see the seed packet? I have half of it jammed in the soil to see how long it will take to break down.
The saga of the internet
The internet is screwed. The trees are growing up in the way fo the signal which apparently cannot go through leaves and every thing has to line up and what the hell!
We need a new tower because of the trees. The tech person put a flag where that should go and said give us a call when it is ready and we will migrate your equipment.
Apparently this is a new kind of frequency that does not go through leaves and my trees are too high. What a load of bollocks. And I have no one here for the next few weeks to put in a tall pole for the stupid thing. And yesterday the internet was worse than ever. So today I am picking up my laptop and going elsewhere to work.
Duane and I are hoping to migrate to the new website this week! Stand by for that announcement!! And I refuse to be held up by internet woes. But make sure you are on my email list so you get a notification. Leave me a comment and I will come find you. Anyway I will be a part time digital nomad for a bit in the next few weeks.
Turn a full time digital nomad ( with much better internet) for the next few months.
There is only so much I can do on data.
Rocking along!

PS excuse any errors I am working super fast while I have internet!

I think the first fresh, homegrown vegetables are the best!!! Enjoy.
Still thinking about how I am going to cook it/ I see a head of broccoli forming too! And the onions. Stir fry!
Haha! I had the very same thought this morning when I took a shot of the ducks in their swimming pool. And chickens in the yard. I use a hose splitter. We too only have one outdoor tap for water. (We also only have ONE outlet for electricity outside!) Good old farm houses! I use a hose splitter (they have them on Amazon). We have five hoses each always with a supply of water. You can turn them on and off separately at the main tap. OR you can attach a spray nozzle on the end of your hose that holds the water back until you want it. I stretch three main hoses out through the paddocks to their preferred locations beside water buckets and another beside the duck pond. Plus one for the front vegetable garden. You might find one of those to be very helpful.
I do have one that is for two hoses. That is useful too! You have the same problems as me! But it keeps me fit!
So funny as I was just lamenting how many of my photos are also photobombed by hoses lol. Beautiful pictures, nonetheless. Love that pond!!!
The pond is a bot of work but I like watching it and occasionally seeing fish!
They have navigational beacons on tall poles along the lake here ( to mark entrances to marinas and channels) – and I guess waves in the air need clear sight in air as internet “beacons” to tell the internet to stop here at this location HAHA
Love the pond shot ( nice colors and contrasts).
I grew up eating catfish – I think they are such scavengers they eat just about anything. Always thought they looked so funny – careful if you try to hand catch them – they will fin you – ouchie!
Ok! Point taken. No hand catching your catfish! They look terribly foreign to me!
I use two end-to-end hoses.
That’s the one. Thank gif for bayonet attachments.
I hope your Internet tubes get fixed. Very frustrating.
Horribly frustrating.
Won’t be fixed for a few weeks though as I have to get someone to put poles in the ground – make concrete etc. then they have to hang the hardware. Makes me tired just thinking about it
Impressive zuchinni. Good morning, c.
Good morning Misky. I am eating it for dinner today!
Yummo!
I have three hoses on my less-than-quarter acre block, one for the front and two for the back. I have to roll mine up and cover them each time, since if I leave them out the sun will super-heat the water in them and I will cook the plants or give the chooks boiling water to drink… That zucchini looks perfect to be grated into a tasty fritter with a bit of Parmesan. Can I check you have my email address? I don’t want to be left behind…
