Another Month….

Posted on by

I’m turning out to be a bit you-know-what at posting recently.  I’m full of good intentions and then somehow I just wander off and get to doing something else.

I’ve been busy of course, Siddy now visits twice a week with his elder care friends – most of whom now remember that they know him, though some need to be reintroduced every visit.  He is learning how to walk beside a power chair so that a) he doesn’t get run over and b) doesn’t cause his friend to find herself suddenly toppled upside down on the grass – now that wouldn’t be good!  At the same time I am learning how to help when required and how to take over if required and of course also how not to run over a puppy or topple a lovely lady out on her ear at any time.  All this so we can go for a walk in the park or take off into town and do a pub crawl – who knows!  🙂

I’m joining in with Sheila’s Secret Santa this year, much to my delight – I’ve been making and hoarding for a while now and today began to wrap up some bits – I remembered to take a photo of this

A delicious assortment of pure New Zealand kid mohair for the recipient to make something magical with.   I’m having fun making and gathering bits I think my recipient might like.

There’s a garden been planted up last month and it is now starting to come away – when I say ‘garden’ you all know I mean the very tiny courtyard right?  Let’s be clear it’s really not much more than a narrow pathway down the side of my tiny house – but it is all I have that is private so I like it to be pretty every summer.  Last summer was so very awful that it never got its annual make-over done and then a new fence was put in and the whole thing fell apart and we started again.  My wonderful friend Alys kick started me off with a generous gift voucher for my birthday which resulted in a miniature maple being planted up into an up-cycled trash bin which I use as my version of a water-wicking planter

and lots of daisies – this was the year for going bonkers over daisies.  And Pukekoes – I’m trying to frighten off the slugs and snails with a little flock of wall art……..  Aren’t they the cutest things – rowdy little critters and quarrelsome too first thing in the morning so I’m quite glad mine are made of metal……

Even the lemon tree which I nearly killed is making a come back and the perfume of those tiny flowers, mixed with the jasmine, is filling the air

So that’s it from me for now, just checking in to let you know I’m still going strong and absolutely ecstatic over our election results.  Oh, and what about this as an idea for our little town that time forgot – do have a look and let me know what you think.   Things are looking up!

Thanks for coming by today, I’m so happy that you did!

  1. I had several dogs visiting my elderly friends long ago, at the nursing home I was their activities director. The people also ironically (unpredictably) liked a guinea pig I wrapped in a soft half baby blanket. I had so many talk to him, he learned to chatter back. 😀

    I love your garden!. A garden of any size is good because it gets our hands in the dirt:-) This summer I moved a few clumps of daisies and plan on adding a few more in the back garden. I love daises they just make me smile:-) My garden is ALL brown right now. I don’t see much color these days other than the earthy colors which I love.
    Don’t feel bad about posting, I am awful this year with writing. I hope to catch up but I am finding myself wandering all the time. Shoot, I am usually reading 7 books at one time and it takes me a bit to get them read but I eventually do-LOL

  7. A garden is a garden, no matter how big or small, and yours is absolutely charming. It’s fun see the transformation now that the old wall is down and rebuilt. The tree is lovely as is your clever water wicking system.

    What fun to be taking part in the Secret Santa exchange. Perhaps next year I can take part. I love seeing what everyone comes up with. I show up at all the blogs after Christmas to see the various unveilings.

    Your’e such a great writer, Pauline. I smiled my way through the Siddy paragraph. I’m glad he’s making a difference in so many lives. What a gift you’ve given those women. Sid, you are a wonderful soul, and one that is clearly living up to your namesake. You both look quite at home in the garden.

    I hope the plans to revitalize the waterfront will come to fruition. I love the artists concept and the wonderful intentions behind the plans. Thank you for sharing the video.

    You are a bright light in the world, Pauline. xo

    • ((Alys)) Thank you for shining your light this way! I doubt I’ll still be around when those plans are a reality but I am seriously happy at the thought they might do so! I think they epitomise everything about this country and that it might be the star of Dunedin – who needs a boost – is a wonderful thought! I put off joining the Secret Santa for years Alys, and am really glad I decided to bite the bullet this year. It has been so much fun trolling through a blog I didn’t know – hunting down clues and hoping I have put two and two together correctly. The little garden is a joy this year! 🙂

  8. Lovely post, Pauline! Love your garden, especially the daisies; I like them all, from the tiny ‘noxious weed’ ones we had in Edmonton to the giant Marguerites. Partly, I think, because I remember the summer before I turned six, sitting in a small meadow with my Mum while the boys played. She taught me how to make a daisy chain and we made ‘crowns’ for our heads.

    You do so much with a small space; I am rather enviousm, but in a good way. Siddy looks gorgeous, too. I can imagine the elders looking forward to his visits.

    The yarn is so tantalizing; some of my favourite colours.

    But the best was that video. The shapes at the point are evocative, to me, of clam shells and also of whales coming straight up out of the sea. I DO hope it gets approved; wouldn’t it become a massive tourist draw? and maybe one day a historic area to visit. We have so little of that here, being such a young country in Europaean terms. I hadn’t heard of the election down your way; will have to look her up. She sounds like the sort of woman I would vote for.

    Have a great week, Pauline. Love and Light from a slightly warmer, but still snowy, BC.

  12. Hi Pauline, It’s so lovely to receive an update again, and I’m pleased to hear that you and Siddy have been making yourselves useful with some older friends. Your wools for the Secret Santa project are beautifully tantalising. And your garden is magnificent. The daisies and their “quiet” friends are particularly beautiful, but the lemon and the jasmine must smell delightful. I’m pleased you’re happy with the election result. Someone somewhere needs to be happy with an election result. The vision for the waterfront is magnificent. I hope it comes to be. While my initial impression was of concrete, the water and plants will make it quite stunning. The architecture itself is innovate and visually appealing. Thank goodness for imagination, creativity, and STEM! 🙂

I know the elderly look forward to visits from the adorable Siddy! What a precious thing to do. Water wicking planters, you mean there is such a thing? I need to do research as I live in such a dry place. I thoroughly enjoyed your post!

    Like

    • Yes there is is such a thing I learned all about it from another blogger in Tasmania and have been experimenting ever since. Basically its a trough or planter (trash cans) with small drainage holes punched all around just about half way up. Fill up to the drainage holes with stones and water then soil and compost are added and some form of water carrying object buried in there too (old soda bottles, upside down with the bottom cut off. Add your plants and off you go. The planter size has to fit the root requirements of your plants. The idea is the bottom half stays filled with water and the roots pull it up as required. I have done some without the bottles and am just adding water as required – it’s not a big requirement 🙂

  19. What a sweet little garden you have created in such a tiny space. Love the trees out there. If you want to keep slugs and snails out of your plants try sprinkling crushed eggshells around them. The eggshells, no matter how small, hurt the undersides of the slugs and snails. I use it in my garden and have no trouble with them.

    Love that Siddy is spending time at the elder care. Being in a wheelchair myself I have to be very cautious with dogs because many of them are frightened by the chairs and will attack. As for getting run over, it seems to only take once for the dogs to learn to avoid being run over. No matter how careful I have been I’ve nipped each of my kids’ dogs with one of my wheels once and after any time I move the chair the dogs give me lots of space. 🙂

    Lovely visiting with you again, now I’m off to see what else you’ve been up to.

    • Thank you for the eggshell tip Lois, I’ll try that! And for your experience in the chair with dogs – goodness the idea that a dog would attack is awful though. Siddy thinks the chair is fun, but had trouble conceiving the fact that it could move. What he really wants is to sit on his friends knee and ride around with her but of course that won’t work! So we have to practise his walking to the side and staying there, not crossing in front on a whim. He’s getting it slowly – I guess one run in between him and a wheel will seal the deal 🙂

      • My oldest son had a Golden Retriever that would curl up around my feet on the footrest of my chair and ride around with me when he was little. Tried to do that as he got bigger but I was afraid of hurting him. He was amazing walking with me and we talked about training him to be my helper dog as he took to it naturally.

        I’m sure most of Siddy’s friends wouldn’t mind giving him a ride on their lap, maybe if you made a carrier so he wouldn’t fall off it might work.

        It’s a bit frightening to have a large dog come at me, I get the rationale. They see what looks like a person but the person doesn’t use legs to get around so that person appears to be alien and they want to protect their turf. Other dogs are just afraid of the chair moving. I never know which it will be.

        I’m considering carrying bear mace for protection as one of my neighbor’s dogs get out and come right onto my property after me. I hate the idea but besides myself I worry about the grandchildren’s safety if I’m attacked.

        • With Siddy it’s less a case of him falling off and more a case of him hurting the delicate skin of the elderly. He’s a hefty wee thing! What a shame about your neighbour’s dogs. It’s frightening being on two legs and having a dog come at you – being in a chair and having to deal with it is unthinkable! Could your neighbour not acclimate them to you and your chair? If that isn’t a possibility and they are coming onto your property, some intercession may be required Maybe the SPCA could help out? They should certainly be informed if the neighbour is unwilling to do anything about it.

I opted not to do that as I don’t want trouble with the neighbors. It’s been a few months now since the dogs got out of their property so hopefully I’m good. Siddy doesn’t look that heavy to me in his photos but I know what you mean about the elderly getting hurt.

It has the major interested parties on side and enthusiastic and it seems a good deal of the population is also onside – the only cold fish that I have heard of are the property developers who missed this particular boat and the Chamber of Commerce – obviously not staffed with forward thinkers and go-getters any more.

She now sits with ducky and has dust baths and warns us in NO uncertain terms that we need to keep a wide berth of her whenever we are in Sanctuary and to not even THINK of taking her away from her new paradise 🙂 Steve left some footage in the video that he should have cut out but as I wasn’t there to direct him (AWOL watering the wicking beds) I said to just leave it as he had already rendered the videot. We have a tonne of dandelions here and I love them. I want to collect their roots and use them to make dandelion coffee as I am a tightwad and hate paying the HUGE price that it costs in the health food shops. Every time I see your gorgeous little courtyard my heart sings. I so wish that I had only a quarter acre block to landscape and fill with food forest to my hearts content but we have 4 acres of tough land that makes us have to think about everything that we want to do here twice and often we have to come up with some pretty out of the box solutions for the masses of problems living out in the dry Northern Tasmanian rocky, hilly, possum and wallaby infested bush. Steve loves living out in the bush which is strange as until he moved out here he was a city boy through and through. I actually love living in the city but love it here because we have SO much space between our neighbours (lucky really or Frank’s teeth grinding might keep us awake at night 😉 ) and we can do whatever we like. I think we do have the perfect gardens for both of us, I would just be a bit happier if there were about 3 acres less on my behalf 😉
