Week-end just gone.

New friends found at a local Garage Sale.

This was our Sunday, unrelenting heat (38 C ), blustery winds and dust storms.

It stands to reason......

Small chickens lay small eggs.

For those that asked

Replacing some patterned louvres with clear glass has allowed more light in.

The morning sun streams through here.

I can watch Mia on the swings when washing up.




My model on strike.
Mia has shown great reluctance in having her photo taken lately, she is tired of countless "fashion shoots".
When she sees me walking towards her with 'another' garment to try on and photograph, she runs and hides.
Isn't it funny how at this age they always hide in the same spot.



Coen asked me what my favourite colour was the other day, I told him 'I don't have one', he then pointed out that all my 'treasures' in the kitchen were green.
Hmm, so it would appear my favourite colour is green, I just don't want to upset orange and purple as I am rather fond of them too.














A collection of 'green' things.





New stove, polished floors.

















Pictures of the kitchen just before we moved in, as you can see the floors are in the process of being sanded.
















It took 4 days to remove the old tiles and masonite that was nailed to the floor.
















I have also removed the contact from benches, for some reason I seem to prefer the red paint over orange contact.
















There is still much to be done.

First born.........

My beautiful first born.

Laura with her partner Luke.

What an amazing young woman, from the moment she was born she has managed to bring so much happiness to so many lives.

I am immensely proud of her, my whole being wants to burst with pride when I look at her.

I love you more.

Escape

From where I sit in the morning drinking my cup of tea, it looks like these flowers are trying to escape my neighbours yard into mine.

How many times were you yelled at to "stop swinging on the clothes line" ?
