I am in a rambling and happy mind this morning.... our house and we are all a bit scruffy at the moment. Jobs are picked up then left unfinished. Quiet time is taken here and there. We are still in between seasons and dreaming of when spring finally does settle in. Meet our new playful puss who is new company for our handsome scout. Have a great day!

heads up

We have been paying the sour sob a lot of attention this late winter and spring. The girls have gone mad picking large bunches of them. My little one cried when the lawn was cut and her beautiful flowers had been taken away. Their delight has led me to taking studies of them, indoors and outside, petals folded and apart, and tonight I found myself going through a seasons worth of shots of this sunny, pesky weed. 

a walk in the sun

under the milky way

Under sundays clear blue winter skies stars glittered brightly and danced on the coming tide.

and a little of those blue skies......

shine

Winter sun in the garden. Little one carefully selecting weeds; mallow, sour sob, dandelion, clover, and delicately arranging them as if they were sweet cottage flowers. Handsome cat looking on, nice and plump in his winter coat.

a story with sun and moon

The beach in winter is in my favourite 5. We arrived with the last of the late afternoon and just in time to see the sun slowly sinking into the ocean. It was both loud and quiet and peaceful and restless. Our eyes took a little while to adjust to the colour and light and the limitlessness. The girls ran up and down with another small friend until their feet were red like BBQ ready chops. That night there was a partially eclipsed full moon. We drank and ate with friends and felt merry like it was christmas. We must get back again soon:-)

winter time

It really is very cold. happy winter solstice :-)

when we rise, that's the time...

In the morning, when we rise, that's the time I love the best - to paraphrase Donovan x - we had a lovely slow Sunday morning after a crazy go fast Saturday. Today is the Queens birthday holiday, so one more day off work and school for us. These photos were all snapped within minutes of each other. It all started when a bird flew into our window and alerted scout's feline attention, then came my young ones breakfast requests, toast and butter, a baby chai and my old school favourite, apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Happy birthday I x who turned 6 on Thursday - some pics of that soon xxxx.

fresh today

Winter is with us. Warming toes by the fire. A little red wine goes a long way. Spotting the prettiest drops of dew.
