Summer’s Song
Posted on February 25, 2016 Leave a Comment
Summer is coming to it’s fullness. Garden flowers are showing their bright colours. The grass on the hills is turning a sunburnt golden hue. And we find ourselves seeking respite from her piercing rays. We pitch the tent under a tree. We enjoy the cool of the bush for a walk during the day. We cool […]
A Clean Sweep
Posted on January 12, 2016 Leave a Comment
It wasn’t a New Year’s Resolution, though it should have been. Rather, a gift given to me that I was most grateful for. Tech-savvy daughter home for the holidays between uni courses and I am the grateful recipient of a cleaned, organised and backed up computer. But not only my computer, but also ipad and phone. […]
Orthotics

The reducing of pain from a pair of good orthotics is a gift that brings enormous amounts of gratefulness from my body AND emotions. I confess to not always being the most patient of patients, so I am sure that this reduction in my pain will have spin-offs of gratitude from my family as well. To […]
A Hare’s Whisker

You may well be asking yourself how a hare’s whisker even comes into my world, let alone be something I am grateful for. And I concur with you on that. In fact, I had to go look it up to make sure I wasn’t just having weird and odd phrases rolling around in my head. […]

Having paid the bill, we were getting ready to leave the supermarket, … Him pushing the trolley of goodies for our weekend away… Me folding up the receipt into my pocket and putting cards away… Suddenly I dived off yelling that I would catch him up. My poor darling dearest is used to this bizarre behaviour, […]
Kindness Just Blew In

Strong winds, rain and more wind… But we went away anyway. Eager as a beaver we were down to the beach with the dog leading the way, excitement oozing out of her. Zipping the jacket right up to the chin, we braced ourselves against the elements and off we went. It was easy one way, […]
Treats in Store

I am terrible at remembering birthdays. It is not unheard of for me to have finally got the present in a rush and a flurry and then realised too late that I had no wrapping or card, The kids all laugh and tell stories of how Mum wraps presents in teatowels or dressing gowns. Once […]
Delightfully Delish

It was taking a while for her to peruse the dress shop. I had decided to stay in the car so we could keep the windows down keeping the car cooler for the dog. We don’t have this dress shop in our town so we were happy to wait. No one was fazed. And she […]
Coffee Dates with Pansies

She had asked me to come for coffee to her favourite cafe. I was there a couple of minutes early and so was waiting outside to meet up…why go inside when the sun was beaming down outside, right?! With all the warmth of spring their little pots adorning the door and windowsill were blooming gorgeous […]
Perfect Green Orchids

It was the perfect way to say ‘Thank-You’, ‘We love you’, ‘We hope your new home turns out to be everything you desire’. Orchids. A whole array of them to choose from. We let her choose, so it would bring her the maximum amount of pleasure. True to form, she chose the only green orchid, […]
