still wintery

The days are still cold we are waiting for some warmth to come from the sun .Today I have been to "Diggers Seeds" in Dromana . With Gwen and Nerri we went to be inspired about planting and growing vegies for our families. The idea is to be "locavores",to eat what you can grow locally or at least lower the food miles that are involved in feeding the family.It was a very grey day with slight drizzle and the garden was holding its breath for the signs of spring to come.I found some red flowering broad beans,curly kale,orange callendulas,blue lake climbing beans and delicious rissotto with brussel sprouts from the cafe ....YUM.... have a look at http://www.diggers.com.au/ for some inspiration

winter fun

Today we have ventured outside ,the sun was shining slightly and the fresh air was calling .Grabbed the football and soccer ball and the ute and headed to the back paddock. A game of kick to kickwith the footy ,with some time to gather sticks for a bonfire Large and small the gumtrees have been shedding branches and there is nothing better than dry eucalyptus for getting a fire started...Some kicking of the soccer ball as well. Then the cool of evening started to ascend and we stopped the sporty stuff, dropped off the sticks in a pile (for a later bonfire)and headed toward the house, The moon was rising and darkness was upon us,an end to another wintery July day.

New Beginnings

I have decided to make myself a blog to write about things in my life that I would like to share. Every day I discover something that is trully amazing and that I would like to write about or photograph.Lets see how we go!!!

It has been raining at our place and the drops are hanging around on all the leaves in the garden, the greens are back to being SO green after the drought.The time has come for the inside activities..no wool.. no problem, all those cupboards full of fabric can now be used to knit over winter. Just start ripping into long strips and start knitting.just like a rag rug but on a smaller scale.
it is very wintery and we are stuck inside feeling like we are just hanging around getting FAT
