Peas!

Tonight we picked our first peas from our little container vegie garden and ate them for dinner. Miss 5 was very excited and did the shelling. We didn't get very many each by the time they were split up between the five of us. But they were delicious, even more so being our first homegrown vegies.

Being productive

I have been listening to a lot of productivity books lately. Yesterday I decided to put some of what I've been listening to into action. I wrote down my to do list and throughout the day I kept asking myself

What is the best use of my time right now?

I got so much done. Best of all, a lot of it was stuff I'd been procrastinating on for ages. Go me!

Roses

I pruned our roses today. It is probably a little late for rose pruning, but that one of the reasons they're great plants. They'll pretty much take whatever you do (or don't do) to them and still give you a bunch of lovely blooms come spring.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy pruning roses. There's something about it that I find very calming and relaxing (apart from one nasty incident with some thorns). Our roses are now looking very structured and ready for their spring burst of growth.

Blogging

I seem to have found a schedule that works for me on Journeyer's Chronicles. My schedule for last week was quite workable and I was able to get what I wanted done in much less time than I was previously taking. Lucky, as it's school holidays :-)

Summer

I just received the confirmation for our summer holiday in the mail. Only six months to wait.



Beach, here we come.

Imagination

Our 3yo daughter has the most amazing imagination. She entertains us daylong with her stories, games and imaginary snacks. I sometimes wonder where it all comes from.

Home Sweet Home

The wind is howling outside. It's freezing and the rain is coming in sideways. The kids and I are still in our snuggly jammies. The house is warm. We don't need to be anywhere today. Lovely, lazy holidays.
