Briar was delighted, honored, and thrilled to be allowed to escort Shackleton on a leashed walkabout. Shackleton was less thrilled about Briar, but finally got some good dust rolls in and sampled various lush grasses. He also hissed at Briar every time she got too enthusiastic about her adoration.
Paula made this Thai dish, rad nah. It has garden garlic in it. The chef made the broth from scratch, from chicken and turkey bones. He also provided Paula with the hearty noodles. It was delicious!Earlier in the day, Shacks watched the herb garden for skinks and grasshoppers.
Paula took Briar out on Wednesday night and she found a possum. The possum says “nobody home! Ignore my tight grip on the bird bath!!” it worked though. Briar wandered off. After Briar wandered off to drink water and Paula got this lovely picture of the goofy young creature. They were gone by the time we humans checked again for the young friend. A great bit of possum theatre with Briar none the wiser!
Paula felt the baby Coryphantha sulcata cacti were not getting good drainage in their sprouting trays. So, she repotted them into slightly bigger pots that all have drain holes!Gram helped by laying in the plant window, taking over Shackleton’s spot temporarily.
Same dinner as yesterday (leftovers still yummy!!) but this time Paula added butterfly pea flowers to the lemonade! The acid of the citrus turns it from blue (the flower original dye) to purple!! Doesn’t change the taste but very fun.
Paula peeled the giant garlic from a few days ago!The giant garlic had beautiful cloves and little garlics!Spicy peanut sauce on noodles. Containing the giant garlic as well as garden cilantro and walking onions.
