Spring is Springing!

love spending a little me time at my favourite spot over looking our local water storage 

Maroondah Dam...

this is the spillway of the dam when its full, which is and its running on its own...

it's a 2 tier waterfall down into the Watts River...

my one and only tulip has made an appearance again1

another visit to the dam the day after the photos above...

totally different weather!

we got caught in a shower of rain and hail...

as quickly as it cames across it was gone...maybe 5 minutes,

we were soaked!

 the hail coming down!

so it was back home, 

get changed and crank up the toasty fire!

 

busy busy!

this beauty landed right on us as we were walking in the garden on the weekend

 

some pretty bluebells in 3 different colours came inside ...

cute little duckling family on the lake 

and this is the next section done...

those angles almost did me in!

week 5 of lockdown #6

 hmmm....

7 days has turned into 5 weeks and counting!

not looking like we will be out of lockdown anytime soon...

so I started a new project with this...

production line block making

scrap trimmings..so satisfying!

all the blue blocks so far...

a bit of baking...trying out ideas for using up my kaffir limes, 

lime and pistachio muffins with lime drizzle icing and extra pistachios!

pretty delicious!

my orchids are blooming again, 

all the green are finished, 

now the cream are out, 

white are coming along nicely, 

another couple of weeks before they are fully out

some daffs to remind us that Spring is here

bought this beauty inside for a few days

Fathers Day dinner done right...

fabulous take away from one of the local cafes,

got to support local in these crappy times whenever we can

hope you have managed to get some stitching done too!
