"She seemed to come suddenly upon happiness as if she had surprised a butterfly in the Winter woods"

today at Inglewood

the real estate agent thanked me for the way I present Inglewood for showing prospective buyers... he just doesn't get it.. I do this kind of thing all the time for myself.

the little finches are back. the winter finches who flit from branch to branch in my garden, disovering insects that have been left exposed by the fallen autumn leaves. a winter finch breakfast delight!

the capsicum have almost finished only one more on the plant that I will use for pizza and then the plant will be left to rest until summer time.. for the new owners of Inglewood whoever they may be.

the bush peas have flowers, the swedes are slow, celery is coming along fine. the lime & lemon trees are heavily laden and the oranges are just about bursting off the tree.. and the tamarillos continue to supply fruit rich with vitamin C.

it is cold but sunny, the washing blows in the breeze. as I clean the bathroom, I can hear the currawongs calling in the distant valley.. my soul sighs with contentment.

winter is here and even St.Francis is kept warm.. a scarf of mine hangs around his neck, while he holds produce from the garden..

[don't forget to check Villa Maria.. I do update that often]

"...he just doesn't get it". Made me laugh Robyn. Doesn't it make you appreciate, so much, partners, family and friends who do! Even houses and gardens that do!I know just what you mean.xxx

some people cannot understand the concept that to some people life is not a 'lifestyle' to be presented like some 'lifestyle' tv show~that a persons actual life is real and not some passing fashion that hits the pages of a magazine for a brief few months only to be replaced with something new.
i understand you :)
