Spring is a wonderful thing

I can't belive that it has been a while since I last posted on my Blog! (Well I can really) There have been lots of things going on.

  • A weekend trip to Adelaide with Lawrie for his birthday
  • Curtain shopping
  • Car shopping
  • Crafting with friends old and new
  • Weeding
  • Planting
  • Mum and Dad visited for a week
  • Friend from Melbourne
  • Lunch with Janette and our Cleaning Fairy

I didn't take any photos, so have includuded a random garden shot for you.

Dave and I can't belive it has been a whole year since our "Excellent Adventure"!!!!

Magnificent Magnolia

Well here it is in all it's glory. I wish I could bottle it's perfume too!



This photo was taken with Nicci Dellar, Miriam Kriss, Gil Sullivan and myself after our recital today at 1:20. Two weeks of LOTS of home practice and four rehearsals, we were pleased with our performance today. We played a Mozart Piano Quartet. There were 25 people in the audience, one of which was my wonderful son, Mitch, who took it upon himself to come and see me perform!

ANTICIPATION


The days roll by, and I wait with patience as my magnolia "Vulcan" grows its only bloom for the year. There were two buds on my tree, until we moved in May, but one got knocked off. I was very disappointed to say the least! But at least there is one - last year I had none.

I venture out each day to check my little baby and hope that one day soon it will show its beauty to the world.



SNOWMAN

I found the pictures of the snowman from a couple of weeks ago on my phone! Here is my picture study of "The life cycle of a snowman".

What beautiful weather we are having

The cold has really hit Ballarat over the past few days, but when it snows, I don't care about the cold really - it's just too beautiful!!!!

The boys made a snowman on the trampoline, but unfortunately we didn't take of photo of it last night. It is still around 24 hours later, though.
I wonder if it will be there tomorrow morning???
Hey Lawrie, I thought you were sick!

Is anybody out there?

Hi I just got the urge to put something on my blog, and wonder if anybody checks it from time to time. It will be interesting to see how long it is before anyone leaves a comment. Personally, I don't blame anyone for not checking - it has been a while.....
