Life in the garden

It's been over a month since my last post. Everythings been growing, but a water shortage has meant that water has to be rationed and were recycling water for the garden. There shouldnt ever be a water shortage here, because when it rains it pours, and the current dry spell has reminded me that we need our own water tank to collect water when it does rain so that the garden isn't dependant on town supply. We've had visitors since I last blogged, my sister and her kids camped in the garden, and the kittens have been venturing outside and enjoying their new playground outside. My sons 21 yr old brother has been staying, (his half brother same dad, different mum) and he's bought his dog, so lately the garden has been a more social place, wih lots of people and animals. The extra dog has meant I've had to install a fence and gated the back yard to keep the animals in. what I didnt count on was my cats becoming attack cats and chasing Mr Dog, (the 'fierce' pitbull) whenever he tried to pass their family to get to the back yard. So the dogs havent been able to enjoy the backyard as much as I'd have liked. While the kittens are having a fantastic time exploring and climbing everything and anything.
