simple things that make me feel good

As i was rushing around this morning doing dishes and tidying the kitchen, I came across a loving picture, which i turned into a photograph.  What do you think? 

I love my little blue teapot which has seen many and varied teas in it's pot.  I knew I had found the right man for me when he enjoyed sharing a pot of tea as much as i do.  The cameilia flower is from our garden, and the Donna Hay recipe book is a fairly recent purchase.  So far, the only recipe we've tried is honeycomb, which was pretty nice, but since i am suddenly conscious of my sugar intake and the need to reduce it, i won't be making honeycomb again any time soon!

Here's a few other garden pics which put me in awe of mother nature.  Such beauty.

Ornamental Kale

This salvia flower feels like velvet.  Buddha chilling.

Pansy!  Look at the depth of colour on it's dear little face.

I hope you've had a lovey day.

What to do???

Hi friends
I hope you've had a lovely long weekend.  What we thought was going to be a miserable weekend weatherwise hasn't turned out too bad.  Today is glorious here.  My current dilemna....  I have one whole hour to myself before I put my "mum's taxi" hat on again and do pick-ups.  There are seedlings to be planted, a little watering to do, I've already got the washing off the clothes-line, I could read a book and sip tea (current favourite again is "arctic fire"), I could mop the floor, fuss about tidying the house before the short work week begins.   hmmmm.  As i look out the window now, i see some loose clouds cruising across the sky.  They are telling me to move, in the direction of the garden.  Ok, seedlings it is.  Silverbeet, sweet peas and a pot of spinach. 

Have a happy week!

A drive in the country

Hello.  I've been a little bit inactive, blogwise, over the last few weeks.  There's been lots of lovely little goings on, I've just kept them all for myself instead of blogging them.  You must do the same sometimes?  This morning i've been downloading some pics from the camera taken over the last month.  Here are some nice ones I thought were worth sharing...



Currumbin Valley

  

We felt very special driving under this beautiful canopy.



Sheep art at the Tweed River Art Gallery, near Murwillumbah.
A great visit, with a lovely little cafe too.
