time flys!

 definitely! 
there are too many negatives around at times, 
so I choose to be happy!
gets them every time!!!!
 the clouds were just silvery on this walk earlier in the week
 day walk just a bit later on...
perfect reflections
 some Easter decorating
 inspired by Sandi at Forevermoore,
she is always doing some gorgeous seasonal decors
 caught this sunset one night,
gone so quickly!



 some great examples at the Monbulk Quilt show held over the weekend
 and of course I managed to bring home some goodies,
 including my new book by Max and Louise Pattern Co
and signed by both of my gorgeous friends!
(so lucky to have these ladies as friends and to live so close to them!)
 picking up firewood for Winter and this little guy put in a surprise visit
(I nearly had a heart attack! between him and the lizard that we thought was a baby snake until we realised it had legs!)
 a much cuter visitor while gathering the wood
 stuffing his beak on the witchtie grubs I uncovered!
 saying thanks for the grubs!

 sorry more walk photos!
feet up after a hard day cleaning carpets and moving every room in the house (almost)
still have 2 rooms to go ......argghhhh!
see you next time!

its the weekend again1

 gorgeous Summer morning walks!
 and sunsets!
 bargain from the local market on Sunday
 squishy mail from Sandi
I won one of her gorgeous giveaways...
 isn't it sweet?
a cute little needlecase and matching pincushion
 hubby picked up his new ride!
 more lovely mornings, hot and humid though
 another score, this time from FB!
 I've taken up Chookyblues 10 minute challenge
spend 10 minutes each day in the sewing room...
only managed 2 days but it's a start1
and this unwelcome visitor was on the road outside our place on my way back from a walk,
only about 15 inches long, 
but where there is one, there is bound to be more!
and yes it is very much alive!
I actually poked it with a very long stick to make sure, 
and it slithered off in the opposite direction to my house fortunately....
hope to not see anymore!

2018!

Well Happy New Year!
2018 has begun....
we spent a couple of days visiting here...
 there were 4 wedge tail eagles flying overhead, 
could only get one in the photo...
on the wind, just before the storm hit!
 that was the end of our view for the day, 
2" of rain in 24 hours....
 New Years Eve was beautiful!
Pizzas in the new pizza oven and great company...
lots of laughs, good food and a wonderful view, 
and even some fireworks down on the lake at midnight!
 this cheeky devil was just down the road from our house,
only a baby and not scared at all!
 my flowering gum is covered in buds,
just starting to open
 it is going to be magnificent!
