Picnic day.

Macadamia Farm
Saturday turned out to be everything promised and more. The sky was a perfect blue. The sun kissed the skin very nicely.
A picnic lunch was packed. Sandwiches, greek salad, potato salad and fruit.
We played with the horses in the neighbours paddock at the Lavendar Farm, lay on the grass and ate our picnic and then drove along to a Macadamia Farm!
The owner of the Macadamia Farm gave us a bucket and let us gather the Macadamias off the ground. He then took the outer shell off of them and told us to leave them on the window sill for a few weeks until we can hear them rattle and then they are ready to be cracked open and eaten!
We tested a few that had been prepared earlier (haha) and also bought some Macadamia and toffee ice cream cones (made on the farm). Delicious! (And that is saying something as I can say im quite the ice cream connoisseur).


On the drive home we noticed these 'scarecrows' and had to get some pictures! People are so creative. There were many fantastic displays but here are just a few.





I hope everyone had as wonderful a weekend as I did!
