This is a very small snippet of what has been going on.
Loving // The change of season and the abundant wildflowers this year. It has been much wetter than it has been for a long time and the paddocks are alive with colour. It takes me back to my childhood and memories of collecting paper daisies or going out on our property to look for Sturt Desert Peas with my Grandpa
Eating // Testing out the Broken Hill School of the Air cookbook, Boots Off Apron On and making jam drops. They make me think of shearing. I think they were one of the Smoko Box staples!
Drinking // Beautiful English Rose tea given to me by a friend for my birthday.
Feeling // mixed emotions about changes and saying goodbyes. I keep hearing that quote in my head from The Sound of Music ' When the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window.' Other days I just hear Elton John singing 'The Circle of Life'. Ah well, if nothing else I am entertained.
Making // Time to just be. Tricky, but essential
Dreaming // Of days spent adventuring, exploring, getting lost, being an intrepid travellers
with my beloved...these days are coming! Soon...
Enjoy the spring flowers (or the autumn colours), wherever you may be.

Beautiful Kate. The flowers, the baking, the memories...good to see you back in blog world x
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane. I hope I can capture a little more of it but I fear the end of year rush is looming...
DeleteGorgeous photos Kate! The colours in the first one are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much for joining in again, I really appreciate it! xx
Thank you. Aren't the Sturt Desert Peas amazing?! I am glad I was able to be a part of September
Deletethe flowers here are amazing also........
ReplyDeleteIsn't Mother Nature clever?!
DeleteThose Desert Peas are amazing looking flowers. I enjoy Dilmah's French Vanilla and Rose tea, that English Rose Tea looks lovely and I bet smells divine.
ReplyDeleteOh I must look out for that one Julie. I am a sucker for a special tea ;)
DeleteYour photos are just so beautiful! I absolutely adore paper daisies. Meg
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Kate. "seas of white paper daisies, clumps of yellow billy buttons and splashes of red desert peas..." sounds amazing. It's so nice to see that you've had enough rain for the earth to bloom this spring.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean about quotes and lyrics catching your ear (or simply popping to mind) and mixed emotions that go with - I hope that you are finding peace in taking time to just be and enjoying the sights/smells of spring. Take care!
Now those there are wildflowers. Divine.
ReplyDeleteI just love your wildflower descriptions, billy buttons sound particularly cute! Making time to just 'be' is something I too have found hard but have also found, as you said, essential! I really enjoyed this post Kate! Megan x
ReplyDeleteThese photos are incredible! I could just get lost in that meadow - it's beautiful. :)
