Can't stay awake...

Hubby does this allot... He wants to be comfy so lies down, the dog joins him and starts to quietly snore... Hubby tries in vein to stay awake reading his iPad but to no avail... Then he ends up snoring...

Blessings,

Beautiful views while walking...

Have to be shared...

Blessings,

Us at Christmas...

I've changed allot since then and both the boys are taller. Both are taller than me now... Had to happen sometime...

Blessings,

Cracked windscreen...

I must have scored a rock in the bottom of my windscreen a while ago... Three weeks ago, I was doing my first day shift in forever. It was an extremely hot day  and when I got back to my car I was greeted with... A huge crack in my windscreen covering a third of the whole windscreen. Such an obstruction of view. Wasn't pulled over by the police thank goodness and hubby had it fixed within three business days :)

Blessings,

Chinese...

Love most of the dishes from our favourite Chinese restaurant. Michael, the owner is lovely and the portions are always very generous...

This time, I tried king prawns and fresh mushroom... Divine!!! Will be back for more :)

Blessings,

Back to Hospital...

This was the second time I prayed in earnest for an easy car park on the street, so it could be free...

Sure enough, just like last time, I was the only parked there!!!

Yay!!! Love the power of prayer...

Blessings,

Making Sushi...

My best friend makes her own. She got the kit from Woolworths for around $10. I ended up with a kit also but am yet to actually crack it open ;)

Margaret showed me how to make my own sushi. To wet fingers, to add to paper and fill it. Even how to roll it... Not bad for a first attempt. And as usual, make it yourself and it takes a million times better :)

Blessings,

Year 12 Jersey...

It's arrived. Even in the heat, my eldest insists on wearing it, long sleeves and all!

He absolutely loves it!!! So happy for him ;)

Blessings,

What The???

One chook late last week decided to lay a whopper of an egg... Ready for the weight??? 95gr!!! Poor chook bottom is probably still sore :(

Wonder if it has one or two yolks?

Blessings,

Yahtzee, what an awesome game!!!

Love the game, especially when I get a Yahtzee in the second round! Love no Technology weekends and days...

Blessings,

Snoozing...

Bailey loves a cuddle and a stretch... My youngest was just the one to provide both for him hahaha!

Blessings,

Give away...

I asked around, I rang people, I put it in the local newsletter... I had about 20 Kombucha SCOBYS to give to new homes, for free... Came with instructions too!

Any bites??? One and that didn't pan out either... Can't even give this fantastic probiotic away... Shakes head, not understanding why...

Blessings,

Bit fishy... Hehe

It was time... Time to get the fish for my car... When you're learning all about love, gentleness, joy, peace etc, I want to be able to always display those qualities... The fish will help!

Blessings,

My youngest having fun...

Love it when all my men come with Bailey and me on our walk. This day, my youngest thought he's try out hills and the new footpath :)

Oh, what a ball he had. The breeze was soooooo awesome!

Blessings,

Finally the footpath is here...

It has taken some very determined locals to finally get our village a wide footpath from the local historical pub to the local primary school...

I have used it with my dog while walking, and with my youngest while I'm walking and he's on his skateboard... It's soooo lovely. Hope it stays that way. Once the path is all finished, we get 60 native evergreen tall shrubs as well. Then seating... A community garden... Skateboard rink... Discos... Movies... Oh the dreams just don't stop :)

The path is half way there, and looking great!

Blessings,

New basketball net...

My youngest had talked about the tatty old one for a while...

I decided that I would buy a new net for the huge expense of $5! Called on a local couple that helped put it up!

Looks awesome and the locals are stoked :)

Blessings,

Sweet 17...

My eldest reached his milestone on 7 February... Just so lovely, seeing him grow into the lovely young man he's growing into... We started the day with presents. Mostly wolf things, including a Queen size mink blanket I came across... 'Twas a school day but a swimming carnival so was an easy day for him :) And we ended the day with dinner at our favourite Chinese restaurant. My eldest had a double bowl of chicken and corn soup, off course! And bites from other plates too. Then he and my youngest enjoyed Youthgroup. A large sundae for the trip home and he was spent. He had an awesome night sleep with his new blanket...

Hubby and I are blessed with the honour of teaching him and getting him ready for when he leaves home... 

So glad I have the privilege to be his mum...

Blessings,

Whopper Onion...

I have recently reacquainted myself with an old friend. I've done allot of growing over the last couple of years and am really enjoying spending time with this lovely lady...

When visiting her place recently, she gifted me one of her three onions she had picked from a single onion she had planted... Was so honoured to receive this gift!

The tops have to die down a bit more and then I can't wait to use it!

Blessings,

Delish Figs...

Nothing tastes like it... Nothing compares... I'm talking about a ripe, juicy, yummy fig... Manna from Heaven, I believe... So blessed to be able to grow the fruit in our own yard!

Blessings,

Sharing my milk kefir...

Bailey has really taken a liking to it... It is no longer just mine... He knows when I score a cup worth and sits straight away, wagging his tail, looking at me...

As I fill his bowl, well the squealing excitement is soooo cute!

Love to share :)

Blessings,

Sound and feel of water...

Yesterday morning, I was going to work for a day shift and could hear the water from the sky making its way down the pipes. It was indeed a glorious sound. We haven't had decent rain in many months. All the grass is dead. Paddocks are only green if they are irrigated...

Held onto the down pipe, so I could feel the water going off the roof. It would eventually end up in our housetanks! Yay!!! 

We need rain so desperately... Hope and pray the forecast of heavy rain is true...

Blessings,

Praying mantis...

Found this one amongst the eggplants... Was happy to make his way along my hand and then get off again and be on his merry way :)

Blessings,

Melons galore...

They're growing everywhere... Along anything their little tentacles can grab a hold of... Looking forward to eating them :)

Blessings

Walking...

I enjoy after dinner walking most of all... Sun is setting and it's a little cooler... The dog appreciates it too :)

Love the picture moments...

Blessings,

Mitchell's 18th...

Friends of ours, that we originally met through our then local school's special education unit, had their youngest turn 18 last week...

It was such a honour to be in that small circle of his friends that he wanted around for his 18th... 

The theme was Chanel and we had to dress up in black, white and pink. Our eldest had a ball in the pool. Our youngest had a ball outside the pool hehe. Hubby and I got to spend time with a lovely and interesting bunch of people...

Happy 18th again, Mitchell!!!

Blessings,
