The lights about to change again. Daylight saving is around the corner, and while I’ll miss the softer tones, it will be back again…just stepping out for a bit.

Autumn I’ve been expecting you
Hello Autumn, I’ve been expecting you.
so long summer
And just like that summer was gone.
No drawn out goodbyes, and long lingering looks back.
The windows are now lowered as the cooler dusk air sneaks in.
A quiet goodbye to the carefree summer bare-feet,
next summer those same small bare-feet will be bigger.
The warm early morning starts that have you throwing open back doors,
the kitchen air still thick from the heat of the day before.
So long summer, with your long golden lit afternoons,
and to the melodic cicadas singing their songs.
Farewell to the invitingly warm sea pools,
with their noisy jostling swimmers.
The pools once more reclaimed,
by those that don’t fear the sharp coolness of the water.
Until next time summer,
so long.

“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
Revisiting old biscuit favourites, custard biscuits. Loving the simplicity of no fuss baking.
Winter afternoon light, loving the warmth and deliciousness of it.
Loving having little people still small enough to go out confidently wearing pyjama bottom boxer shorts over the top of everyday clothing and the other wearing a cardboard bag as a soldiers helmet on his head. I know these days are numbered and I’m holding onto them with a stifled chuckle and a big heart.
Loving cold beach frolicks.
Lunch date with Mr Chocolate at Three Blue Ducks*. Alone time without little people, we even had two coffees…loving every minute of that.

Have a peek at some of the things that have tickled Kari’s heart recently.
autumn
a changed beat
different air
cool nights and sunny days
autumn is here
along with school holidays
long walks in the park
the crackle of brown leaves under foot
perfect to build up and then run through
changing colours, changing light
changing rhythms
long days and aimless running
need lots of snacks
healthy ones
Tahini Balls
1 cup whole oats
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/3 cup unhulled tahini
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup hazelnut meal
1 tsp vanilla
sesame seeds
Mix it all together, add a couple of tablespoons of water just to bind it. Roll into balls with dampened hands, then roll in raw sesame seeds. Keep in the fridge.
