Wordless Wednesday 24 April

Photographed yesterday as we were tidying up branches in our paddocks with my little point and snap camera.

What is it?

 The tree that this fruit comes from was saved and transplanted 18 months ago when we moved into this house. It smells like a citrus and spikes like some lemon and lime trees have. With this knowledge we assumed that it was a lemon / lime tree. This tree has struggled somewhat with its move but this year produced fruit. Surprisingly we have no idea what the fruit is. The fruit is quite lumpy and bumpy. We have not tasted it as we are not even sure if it is safe to do so. We don’t even know if the photo shows the fruit ripe.

 Hmmmm what a mystery we have in our backyard.

I scrapbooked it too.

Fridays Fabulous Five #35

Well the school holidays are here.  Thank goodness I say as I need a break from the hectic routine that comes from having growing children in the house.

• I came across this word Mindfulness today and did a little search and thought I would share this link.
• I love these bookmarks. 
• How about a great diy bow to put on a gift 
• Then there is a little something to bake....banana bread with chocolate and hazel nuts.
• since painting and gardening are a focus in my house at the moment this link might just help keep the creative juices flowing.

Wordless Wednesday 17 April

Even though as I type this it is drizzling with rain I know that it is not enough to fill our tanks or really break the drought in my area.  Fingers crossed that is not the case or else we will be doing a little more of this.

Just look how many men it takes to put the hose in the tank.

When you don't/ can't eat enough food.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like when you can't/ won't eat enough food?  Well here is what approximately 3 months of food for my son who is not hungry enough to eat (due to consuming about 4 litres of water each 24 hours.

 Ok so there is some on the back seat of our little car too.  It is all liquid and all delivered through his mickey button as he refuses to drink it.  I know hard to believe he wont drink it when his is always so thirsty. But for him it is water or milk and that is it.  No point forcing it as he will just vomit is back up.  To be fair the brown boxes hold the food that is delivered over night as there are not enough house in the daytime. 

Hmmmm. 

I wonder how all this will change when his kidneys finally fail?
