Not all the time, but sometimes you get that perfect day when everything falls in place, today was one of those rare days.
The sun was shining no breeze, washing got done and was out on the line first thing, every one was fed watered milked let out,
bread was on the go.
Flash enjoyed breakfast in the sunshine
Young plants are brought out for hardening off, taken back in the poly tunnel after the evening feed round
The tomatoes were planted into border of the poly tunnel
I am using rope to tie them into this year, I am also using soaker hose for watering.The squashes, cucumbers and peppers were all potted up
The last of the potatoes got planted
With help from Tess I got some more wood chips down in the fruit cage
The asparagus is up
The strawberries in the poly tunnel are in flower a couple of weeks and we should be picking some
Joy of joys the sweetcorn that was sown in situ in the poly tunnel are now starting to pop up
The day wound to a close with watering the poly tunnels, everyone was fed watered and put in for the night, young plants were brought back in again, log baskets were filled, then it was time for a sit down, satisfied with the thought that everything is as it should be, it was a good day. 😀
Why cant everyday run so smoothly ❓
They have to happen otherwise you woudn't appreciate days like this one. Glad you had a good day.

Yes your right they are a special gift to be appreciated
DeleteA good day. Put your feet up and have a well earned rest.
ReplyDeleteYour bread looks amazing. Mine always looks a bit 'messy' if I bake it in a tin.
I hope tomorrow is just as perfect for you. X
feet were up in the evening, if I dont use a tin my breads are messy
DeleteFantastic day there Dawn and a great selection of photos.
ReplyDeleteYes a very good day
DeleteNo mention of evening meal here - did you really have enough energy left at the end of all that work to cook food?
ReplyDeleteIt was only a simple meal, bacon and mushroom omelette
DeleteIt was a good day for us as well yesterday......which makes up for all those days when everything gets topsy turvey!
ReplyDeleteThey are rare but great when they come about
DeleteSounds like an idyllic day, Flash certainly seems to be enjoying himself! How old is he?
ReplyDeleteFlash is now the grand age of 21 I have had him since he was 6 years old
DeleteSmashing Dawn.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got so much done-x-
So am I
DeleteHi Dawn :)) I'm happy and envious all at the same time! We had opposite days lol...but wow, you got a LOT done! I love the photo of Flash! How deep are your beds for the potatoes btw?
ReplyDeleteThe beds are bottomless on soil, the boards are just to keep the soil in place
DeleteIt's always nice to have a good day, with all the hard work you have put into your ranch, you should have more days like today.
ReplyDeleteas time marches on we get lots more good days and less days of chaos
