Living the Good Life

With Spring peek-a-boo-ing herself we headed to the park for a romp in the sunshine....and icecream!







Whiled away the rainy spells with some last minute work on another baby play mat for some dear friends' new little lady...







Continued the struggle to keep up with our heaving vegie patch and all those gorgeous greens...






Smiled at mon petit poppet's carefully collected, arranged and placed centrepiece for our evening meal together....






Devoured this bacon and egg pie with oodles of those greens and a simple vinaigrette...





Watched his and her hands work together.....





...to turn this freshly harvested rhubarb....







...into this gorgeous crumble and home made custard.... ate copious amounts of said crumble and custard!

Indulged in a spot of crafting ....








..to make some cards using leaves and feathers found on our magical farm holiday...







Continued work on these monsters...ahem, beauties and finally saw the light at the end!!





Pondered what our native bees friends were up to as they spent all day swarming outside their hive....a new queen?...a hive invasion?...an internal war?....simply a frolic in the last rays of Winter sunshine?!



What memories did you make on the weekend?

  1. My dear friend the said new little lady absolutely loved her new playmate. Her parents were also stoked at such beautiful handiwork by yourself. Thanks again, you are amazing. Another treasured memory from non petit poppet.

  2. Goodness your greens are fantastic, how do you keep the possums away? Love the floral arrangement which later appears to become a glue-fest. And you have native bees too, when ours swarmed their were heaps of dead bees just outside the hive on the ground that indicated an invasion. They did pull through, however the little rascals are slow to fill that honey pot for us.melx

  3. The pie and crumble look absolutely delicious. I have the same little corningware dish that you baked the crumble in, its such a perfect size. x
