winter sunshine

i try to imagine sometimes how it would feel to be little in a big world.

hmmmm, and you should smell it. delightful.

lake weeroona, bendigo on a sunny winters day. felt so nice to be outside. and away.

growing

planting trees makes me happy.
we planted this weekend : : :
nectarine < plum > almond < apples > apricot < cherry > and some crepe myrtles for their blossom :)
i can't wait for spring.
i do like the warm fires of winter. and the bare branches of the trees at night in the moonlight. i like having a burning hot water bottle on my feet in bed. and i like that i can drink hot coffees to make me feel warm. and i only take my ugg boots off to go to bed.. and to have a shower. i like that i can see the birds on the bare branches. and i like the warm sun with the frosty air.
but i look forward to spring and the sprouting it will bring.
imagine* a photo of my hyacinth bulb that is miraculously flowering after being in water for only a few weeks. not sure how that happened...magic on my kitchen windowsill.
you have to imagine because im out of time.

its a lot of fun to cut up jumpers that people have decided they dont like or need anymore. its also a lot of fun to be searching for the elusive soft,furry, perfectly coloured jumpers with my sister while our girls rummage for toys(junk).

while waiting for tea to cook i sew their bits together.

with eucalyptus dyed fabric with clover prints i make little clothes.

and now there are three more cats in the house. because if you cant beat them, join them. or something like that.
