little grubby hands
new kitchenware that makes me feel very adult like- oh to have size options
bottle brush, flowering everywhere at the moment
strawberries, and lots of them

Pedalling through the still darkened streets, I keep my eye towards the dark grey sky. Just a hint of light, I still had a good while to go before the sun nudged itself over the horizon. The air is cold, it hits my face and bare arms. I think for a moment of everyone still sleeping at home, snuggled in. A warm bed has been given up for the cold and for the grey. A cup of tea in favour of a bicycle.
A bicycle peddling towards sunlit shores…
Was it worth it?
Every second.
a wintery afternoon light,
which always makes things look just a little more bright
organic face paint that creates instant tiger cubs,
growling and snarling, ready to bite
gingery beer with bubbles a plenty,
glasses filled up and eager hands reaching
sourdough loaves with crisses and crosses
and golden anzac biscuits cooling on a tray,
just moments before a tiny hand sneaks up
to take one away.
dinner beginnings with locally grown carrots
cooking ahead with the small people, easy pumpkin and fetta sausage rolls
flowered creeping vines making ordinary garages quite lovely
afternoon setting sun on a little orange leg, that pauses before she runs, and runs.
“Often life’s pleasures pass us by simply because we don’t take a moment to focus on them… Make a point of noticing everyday something that uplifts your spirit or tickles your heart… Stop to breathe in the joy of this moment and then tell someone about it. Share your joy and revel in it. When your joy is savoured, and then shared, it is magnified…” ROBIN GRILLE
loving…
hearing gentle rain outside when you are warm and snug inside

loud squeals of delight after surprising The Monkeys with a spelt pikelet afternoon tea
loving…
splashes of green, no matter how small they are.
loving…
having the ability to eat whole foods that give strength and energy on days when you are feeling so very tired and flat.
loving…
watching this little person grow and grow and grow. Special shoe selection of her own, (left foot shoes, she’s particularly fond of.)
