The Calling Card
Posted on July 1, 2015 Leave a Comment
Coming to, I was greeted with the sound of gentle dove coos. Laying there with eyes still closed just listening and drinking in the moment. I love doves. My dad built me an aviary when I was a girl and I had four white turtle doves. The bobbing and cooing are all tied up in […]
Smelling Divine!

I don’t think too often about God’s ability to smell. Do you? But he must… Otherwise why do we have references to being a ‘soothing aroma’ to him? Or a ‘stench in his nostrils’? Some even say they have physically smelt the presence of God. I can’t claim that, but as I walked into the […]
The Blessing of Boots

On wet winter days I would come home with feet soaked and cold from walks with the dog.She didn’t seem fazed but I wasn’t finding it too exciting. My darling dearest woke up one Saturday morning and announced that we were going shopping for a new pair of tramping boots (hiking for those of other more demure […]
Always Thankful!

Don’t you just love those cold mornings when the dog takes a dump and you gotta pull off your gloves cause you are fighting with those wretched doggie bags that stay stuck together at the top not letting you in? Wind ripping through your trousers… had to do it on the top of a hill, […]
She Had it Covered

That daughter, she’s got a gift! An eye for design with the ability to perform on a very tight budget…’large family’ training coming to the fore right there 🙂 I tend to arrange what we have, rather than knowing how to make what we have better. So when she gave some ideas for making our […]
Do you Enjoy the Weather?

What’s your favourite kind of weather? Are you a fun-n-the-sun kind of person, or a brave the elements and walk the blowing-a-gale kind? The beauty of the tropics is waking up every morning knowing that a gorgeous day of cerulean blue skies and gentle breezes is your daily fare…unless it’s the wet season and you are […]
A Little Bit of Envy

Yes, I admit it. Aunty Shelagh’s plant was causing me a little bit of envy. Each time I visited, there it sat in the dappled light flowering profusely. Lovely purple tubular flowers popping out on long stems. And it just looked just gorgeous in the Mediterranean styled pot she had it sitting in.. No, Lynda! […]
Trousers in a Cold Wind

That wind was biting hard this morning. Dressed in woolen hat, scarf and gloves. Boots on with merino socks beneath. Padded jacket to cut out the wind over the top, and still i didn’t feel adequately dressed this morning. I pulled the hat down a little lower trying to cover my ears. Although the dog […]
Mouses or Mice

We’ve had this grammar war before when son procured more than one mouse for his computer. It came up again last night when I proudly declared to the fam how many mouses I had caught. I know…I should have said ‘mice’, but I was trying to soften the blow for the tender hearts among us. Those […]
Magic Mushrooms

Doing our normal route we had walked past the wide-spread tree every day admiring it’s changes in colour, first golden now fire red. But today was pouring…umbrella up and jacket pulled close. In order to miss the slippery track we circumvented said tree from the opposite side. What a treat waiting for us! A patch […]
