enjoying
GLORIOUS spring Melbourne days. Today is a clear, sunny 26 degrees celcius.
playing
Nothing at the moment. The sound of the rainforest birds here, with the occasional neigh, "Mum!", or cock-a-doodle-doo is all the sound track I need :)
smelling
My coffee here at my desk. Hazelnut! Yum!
wearing
Summer clothes and sunscreen! Already! Plus if I'm in the garden, my trusty Akubra, always. If you don't know what an Akubra is, here you go. If you're an Aussie and you don't know what an Akubra is: SHAME ON YOU ;)
reading
Jackie French's 'Backyard Self-sufficiency'. The beans and peas are in in our new bale garden. Now FINGERSCROSSED they grow! (pleasepleaseplease) Gardening seems simple - plant a seed, good soil, water, sun. But my track record isnt great. I wish I knew why I have such bad luck with vegetables! Hopefully my luck will start to change! And soon!
crocheting
Ive been meaning to start a coffee-plunger cosy for my Stepdad... but... *sigh* Tonight! I swear!
flicking to
Not sure what this means (?) but im always flicking over to watch Dance Moms on You Channel. It's my guilty pleasure *blush*
enjoying
Days outside in the sun NOT unpacking the few last boxes I should be getting around to... It's just too nice out! I'm sure there'll be more grey days like the one pictured below I can get around to those boxes.
not loving
Washing up. Does it ever end?!?!
knowing
I've got a horsey-girl on my hands. It's only a matter of time before she asks me for a pony, I just know it. I've always said the girls can choose their own interests, and I will happily drive them to karate/soccer/art/dance/chess-WHATEVER. I am quite happy for neither of them to be horse-mad like Mummy. But I can see Katie's interest in the horses already, and she's always keen to hop on Will anytime I'm off for a ride. Daddy: just giving you an early head's up... ;)
wondering
What the HECK Henry is barking at in the blackberry thicket!!! He keeps going up there and he just stares into the brambles and barks, and barks and barks!
dreaming
Of getting my sewing machine set up and my sewing table set up and making some new summer dresses for the girls! (And maybe me!) But that means getting in amongst THOSE AFORE-MENTIONED BOXES...so...
hoping
To adopt some ex-battery hens at the end of September, and give them a new life in free-range chook heaven! With this handsome devil-

knitting
Last thing I did was a beanie for Ben. Actually, i did 2, because the first one turned out ridiculously small. It looked like a Jewish Kippah. We both nearly wet ourselves laughing and I gave that one to a friend's little boy, and made another!
laughing at
Black Books. We've just watched the whole series again!
casting on
Hmm, what's next? Im thinking of starting a school cardigan for Katie's first year of school next year. The uniform is Red, Green and White, some I'm thinking a red one...
grateful for
This new childhood I can now provide my kids with! They are always outside now: Climbing, creating, exploring. The TV is hardly ever on during the day now. I love that they've got the run of this whole farm 'playground', and they absolutely love it!
adoring
Tara's first pigtails!!!
smiling at
Kate's antics on her trampoline, andhearing her talking to herself as she plays some involved imaginary game.
"...hey sister, we need to go to our house! No you cant until the fires have gone. We have to stay in Queensland..."
Your turn! What are you enjoying, playing, smelling, listening, wearing, reading crocheting, flicking to, enjoying, not loving, knowing, wondering, dreaming, hoping, knitting, laughing at, casting on, grateful for, adoring, smiling at?
Have a beautiful week. But, blog it later - get out an enjoy this gorgeous weather while it lasts!
