The garden is going through changes. This camellia and has never really flowered before this fall...just gorgeous. The strawberry here has some late fruit every year. 

Mothers day

To market to buy a sack of potatoes and an old Rosella preserves Jar. An overcast morning which made it all the better. A great coffee and a pumpkin scone fresh as can be topped with jam and cream.
On my first mothers day my true love gave to me a pair of diamond earrings. I will treasure them and what they represent always. My daughter helped pick them out and signed the card.
Also, today we celebrate our girl turning 11 months, just one more month to go.

Coffee

How cold it's been the last two days and rainy! Perfect weather for hot beverages like my favorite the skinny cappuchino. My spunky man is a wonderful barrister and spoils me every day with a cup for morning tea. The smell of fresh coffee grind is intoxicating. The sight and sound of coffee being made brightens my day. Even the cats get their kittychino.

The magical vege patch

My cats, Astro and Vespa love hanging out in the vege patch. This photo has Astro taking a leisurely stroll through the greens. But he's not the only one. Jane and I Love sitting in the vege patch. The garden is ever changing and inspiring. I've had some great chats with God in this setting. Yellow butterflies flutter around the potato vine, birds tweet back and forth and the trees rustle and waltz in the breeze. The cats come in for a pat and sit calmly under the foliage of artichokes and pack choi.
A pumpkin vine trails along the fence under cascades of pretty, white, star shaped flowers and over a rusty singer pedal-wheel. It seems the plants and bugs are having their own conversations around the water cooler.

In Autumn

Autumn is in it's last stages. The air smells crisp and chills your nose. I love Autumn so much...it's the time to plant bulbs (even though i have no time to do that this year), the leaves change into contrasting colours, the garden has a growth spurt and hills have the most lushest shade of green. Above all this i get to light a wood fire...smells wonderful.
