monday morning

















 
 
 

Good morning from my little part of the world.

Just popping in to say hello and let you know all is well.

I am playing catch up after a really busy week of toing and froing, here, there and everywhere. This is what always happens when hubby has a few days off from work. We squeeze a lot into those days!

The good news is, we had rain...52mm (2 inches) in fact. The countryside has been transformed. The rain water tanks are once again full, and we can breathe a sigh of relief...

There was not been a lot of time for blogging with all this busyness, but I will be back to posting this week.

See you soon,

Random pics ~ the ones that dont make it

Good evening friends,

I take a lot of photos, but not all get published on here. So I thought I would do this post with some of the photos that don't always make it...They are in no particular order.

One of my roses. The plants are still small, but the blooms are getting bigger and prettier...


A chocolate cake I made for my daughters birthday back in May...I used Mimi's recipe for "Best ever chocolate cake".


The gift I received from my daughter in law for Mother's day...


Homemade biscuits.


 
And some flowers from them both.



 A healthy rise on a sourdough loaf...


A photo of my sons x-ray of his teeth.  As you can see on the bottom, his wisdom teeth are definitely going to cause him problems, so he has to have them out. He has decided to get all four removed...ouch!


Golden syrup pudding using Annabel's recipe...


Morning walk...


Pretty tablecloth, op shop find...


Another op shop find. A lovely sideboard runner in perfect condition and perfect fit.


I picked one fig off a tree I have in a pot...


Yum!


Just because...






A meal cooked on top of the fire.


New border on an old blanket...


Free acrobats from my back yard...


New babies were born...


Two baby sleepy {shingleback} lizards...they looked so cute with one of his legs wrapped over the other one. Only a few hours old here.  They look bigger than they actually are, probably only 5-6 inches long. A bit hard to see them properly in the shadows. These stayed around for about a week then disappeared. Hopefully after Winter I will see them again...


Tempting them with food.



 Food...bean burgers ready for the freezer.


 Scones...


Knitted this cutie at Easter time.


I see you...


Hubby has an addiction!


A gift from Annabel, as exchange for a soap saver...


A gift I crocheted for my daughters birthday.


Getting creative for the gift cupboard.


Unusual cloud formation just before strong wind and dust storm...the dust can be seen at the bottom of the cloud.


The best sound there is...


That s all for tonight folks.

See you soon,
