Gosh, why is it

when i get to this time of year
that i miss this so

...
we are thinking seriously
of buying a small home on
King Island.
After living most of our lives not far from the water
a few years right on it...
we have come to realise it is where we need to be
for some of the year...
For my few international friends King Is. is a small
island in the Bass Straight
between the southern mainland tip and Tasmania.
Beautiful, rural, wild and property along the coastline
to die for......
population of 1700
fresh and wild seafood waiting to hop on your line..
not to mention the famous Kind Is. dairy

that
on the coastline...preferably
....
how many sleeps to go

i seem to be the only one with
Christmas spirit in my home right now
its interesting how the dynamics change
as we grow
no little children around much anymore
with family living so far apart
....
but i have decked the halls
beautiful scented candles burn
not too much baking happening here
yet....but planned
...
i am enjoying the lovely cool mornings
we still have here in the subtropical north
enjoy it while it lasts...
oh
and still no camera
do you think i could fit a rush job in..sigh
..
work today
on Sunday
is that not a sin...
happy day my friends x
...
ps..as this is my 99th post, i will come back within the next week with a giveaway
please tell your friends

i wish i was going with it
to be closer to my crew over yonder
...

...

...

...
i was excited to join in this swap
organised by rae and jen
thank you
...

as i was sitting in the office quite early the other
morning chatting to my grandson
via skype...as you do...these days
when you have family that live light years away....:(((((
i spun around on my chair
to witness a very common
site here
lots of bunnies
enjoying our clover
...

off to enjoy this
simply divine
xxx

Rain rain rain

.....please go away
i neeeeeeeeed sunshine
these gorgeous
blooms
need sunshine.....

...

this is an old pic
they are actually looking more mature now
lots of buds
some of which the cockatoos
have removed...sigh
however
remember the camera issues...another sigh
i have just visited the roses for a lift of the old
spirit
...the scent is just soooo...
we have had so much rain this year
and from here on in we head into a wet summer
or so the long range weather is forcast
have you got sunshine at your house
can i come over...
hugs to my gorgeous family and friends x

Sometimes i feel guilty

for falling in love
with yet another craft
the truth is though
that i have ALWAYS wanted my own
eclectic mix
of chairs
...
....
i find this so inspiring
after wandering the stores searching
for just the right chairs
i decided long ago
it just was not important
and would settle for the odd one here and there
this cover may just work on some
old ones i have
pop on over to Yvonne's to
see just what this creative lady is up to...x
