where did the week go???

 Well I am not sure where the week has gone...............

But here its Saturday afternoon again and the week has whizzed past once again...........

No sewing.........

BUT it's a long weekend and I just made my Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken which I know Janet @ Rogue Quilter has made a few times..must have been someone else so tell me if it was you..........It's been ages since I made it and the weather has been perfect for slow cooker cooking...........

I just added a few bits to the recipe and you can find the link here for the recipe............

Also while I was at it I finished my Fried Rice recipe and posted to Chookyblue's Cooking.........I don't know anyone who makes it like me but it was the way I was taught at high school............need to get a better photo but hey it's the taste that counts.........

Let me know how you cook fried rice.........link here for my recipe it on Chookyblue's Cooking...........

It's been a cold wet week...........after all the rain Friday into Saturday we got more rain on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday...........50-59mm here for the week and the road has been interesting to say the least....more slippery...........couple of huge fogs in the mornings which we rarely get also to make driving to work interesting as visibility was 50-100m.........

very quiet long weekend here so who knows if I do a spontaneous zoom...........I have a few other things to do and just enjoy some down time...........maybe some friends might drop in but no one staying.........was thinking an evening bonfire but the night dew if way to heavy for that.........

Who loves the magic of a milk thistle at this stage above............such a fleeting moment, one breeze and it's blown away..........

Great excitement when I found a few bits of oats had shot...........Lots has probably been way too wet as some has had water on it for the week......I'll have a look at it again on Monday........

The creek looked pretty tonight..........and it was perfectly still so lovely reflections......

Big old trees............💙💙💙

I've nicknamed this one the dragon log......can you see that or maybe I should call it the croc log..........

Anyway I best go............

Have a great weekend.......

Catch you later......

Chookyblue.......

PS I got distracted and hadn't finished proofreading this post and now its a few hours later........cut some wood with Mr Chooky as we had none left for the fire...........I have started a new secret project............OMG i'm having so much fun...........so I am stitchin'......shock to the system......lol......

Chookshed 12th Birthday........

A nice crew came thru the door for a washed out Chookshed party.........

I was pretty disappointed I had to can the real visitor plans once again so thanks to those who dropped in  today........sadly that's 3 years in a row..........39mm of rain all up.........

Maybe next year the stars will align.............wet, mum sick, wet!!!!!!

A photo I snapped this morning.........

Technically it was still May at Deana's so I worked on the kiwi birds that I was to make for May's Chookshed Challenge............

To say I had a few challenges is an understatement............

my brain was not even working today so that was not helping at all............

there may have also been some curse words..........

So for now it will only be 2 kiwi's.............

they are pretty cute........and yes you know I needed to make them blue........

Thanks Louise for the pattern and inspiration.........

Will be an earlier night today..........

It's been a bigger week.......

Catch you later.........

Chookyblue......

PS next year i'll crack out the decorations again too......

Chookshed's open..........

 Come and join me for a cuppa............The Chookshed is open so come join me..........

its rained and I had a terrible time getting home last night.........good thing I cancelled the Chookshed Birthday pending the forecast..........

Those are my tracks on the left............I got pulled down and could not get back up on the road..........

I had to phone a friend to come to the rescue............

This is what it looked like out the car door...........complete slop..........

So THANKFULLY I do not need to go anywhere until Tuesday........

Grab a cuppa and pop into zoom............

if you want to join and don't have the link let me know.......

Catch you later..........

Chookyblue......
