Today

Today's outfit makes me happy because it teams mustard, blue and tan together, which happens to be one of my favourite colour palettes at the moment. Actually, I can't wait to show you my Mum's painting after she finishes it on Wednesday - it's of the Willunga Hills, SA, and she's used colours similar to my outfit!
I dressed in this and went to drop off my resumé at the Voyager Estate winery which is a short drive away. This is the third job I've tried to apply for since moving to Margaret River, so hoping I get some positive results from this one... :)

Oh, before I left the house I wanted to give the chickens some socialising. I chose to show one chicken the new home that they can anticipate. Tom started building it the other day - a mini shed with luxury perches and a series of cut-out "doors" for exit into the wild and for us to collect their eggs through!

Hope your week has started off well,

A step closer to becoming self-sufficient

A crateful of chickens arrived at my house on the weekend, along with 8 eggs that they happened to lay along the way!

There are now around 12 chickens on our miniature farm, which takes our household closer to fully 'living off [our] land'. I dream of selecting fresh fruit and vegies from our garden, and taking showers in solar heated water, and .... perhaps not slaughtering cows for meat because I could never do that to sweet Daisy. But not having to rely on supermarket quality produce - and potentially supporting cruel animal industries - as much as we can is great! You can bet we've enjoyed a few quiches and bacon and egg brekkies since. And Jaz and Bowie, our bordercollies, are overjoyed to see an increase in the stock they love to proudly guard (or drool over???)!

In other news, I visited a naturopath in Margaret River today. She was absolutely lovely - the best I've talked to in a long time. She half counseled me as well, just in expressing her beliefs about the pressures on women today and such.
I got given some probiotics, some herbal tonic, and something else I forgot the purpose of. Basically it's all to fix my energy and iron deficiencies, and to help deal with the anxiety/depression that I sometimes suffer. Hoping it works out well!

Here's what I wore. Just a light, Margaret River-esque outfit. I really like this lace blouse I picked up at the last Lion's Shed sale (for no more than 40c!). The skirt is my Mum's.... discovered it yesterday and was quite shocked to think she has never worn it.
