In no particular order...

Here's a bit of randomness from the past week... 


At the river one morning...


A garden I walk past...
I wonder what's at the end of the path?


My Evening Primrose plant...
I can't believe how it continues to flower!


Over my back fence...
hello boys!


And while we are on the subject of sheep, I was given a fleece (Merino Dorset cross)...
now I need to get a wheel and brush up on my spinning skills


I have a new knitting project in mind, an Amish blanket.  I had a gift voucher for Bendigo Woollen Mills, so have ordered some yarn and am awaiting its arrival...
the yarns shown were just some random bits I had left from previous projects.  Not necessarily the colours I will use


In the meantime, I am crocheting another charity blanket with leftover yarn from the baby blankets...
and dipping into this book


Still working my way through the Amy Carmichael book.  It's a bit of a slog at times, and will probably take me awhile as it's my daytime read and I don't get much reading time during the day, but I will persevere (not my strong point)...
and my bedtime read (What Money Can't Buy) might take awhile too, even though I am really enjoying it, but I don't get many pages read before I start to fall asleep, and then have to reread again the next night because I can't remember what I've read !!!


Will leave you with this lovely bunch of statice I bought at the Mennonite fruit and veg shop the other week...



And (of course) a quote...

"As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful.  They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness - just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breathe it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm."

- Laura Ingalls Wilder


May you find joy in simple pleasures!
