October – in a Sentence a Day Earlier in the year I joined some wonderful bloggers for the Sentence a Day writing challenge, (you can find links here to my posts for June, July , August and September) and now it seems to be time for October’s post – where does the time go? It also seems like I’m hooked on the Sentence a Day posts…
September – in a Sentence a Day I joined in with some wonderful bloggers for the Sentence a Day writing challenge for the month of June and July and August! It’s now time for September, how can it already be September? In the first week of the new month, a group of like-minded bloggers link their posts to share what’s…
Wordless Wednesday – has been renamed ‘Worth a Word’ Wednesday simply because I couldn’t stick to the rules of NO WORDS 🙂 This is the beautiful clear blue sky above me on a warm spring day. If you look really closely there’s a black dot up there which was a helicopter flying overhead. I never get tired of the blue sky. …
Why oh why? Every year at about this time in Australia, Spring time, there are numerous stories in the media about the spate of magpies swooping on unsuspecting walkers, bike riders, runners – anyone they take exception to being in their territory as they protect their babies in the nest. They can do real damage by pecking people, drawing blood…
Wordless Wednesday – has been renamed ‘Worth a Word’ Wednesday simply because I couldn’t stick to the rules of NO WORDS 🙂 Unfurling into spring Every year I think I take a similar photo to this one. I try to capture the magnolia flowers unfurling- I love Spring and I love our magnolia tree. It’s huge now and quite old but…
Source: Week 9: The letter D Here is the photo I didn’t use for this week’s 52 week photo project. I’ve called it Debbie and the Daffodils as I figured I could get two D’s for the price of one! I love the fact that Spring has sprung down here, with the daffodils bobbing their pretty yellow heads, the magnolia…
My favourite door I finally dragged my sorry self out for a walk at daybreak this morning and this was the view that greeted me as I returned. I love the early morning light and I am so glad I made the effort to get up and go for a walk. It occurred to me that as it was Thursday,…
A busy bee working hard for a lavender cocktail. Bees are tiny in comparison to other things in the garden but they play a very important role in the environment. Where would we be without bees? Debbie 🙂 (My name means busy bee!)
Over the weekend I was inspired to plant some bright colourful flowers in my sun-room/conservatory/hothouse/she-shed/glasshouse/orangery – call it what you will – and I marveled at the peace that one gets when digging, planting and creating something new. When I started my poem for this week there were a few words that jumped out at me straightaway. So here’s my latest…
Beautiful and delicate, these are among my favourite flowers in the garden at the moment. Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver Enjoy your day! Deb x
Local = Put your money where your house is Local is the prompt for this week’s photo challenge and Jen H asks us to share what “local” means to us, and show where our heart is. “Home” is more than where we sleep at night. It is a place that is familiar and comforting, and it gives us a sense of belonging. Home…
Welcome to Wordless Wednesday Debbie
Water, water everywhere. I have had just about enough of water, as I have mentioned in my last few posts. I don’t mean to whinge but it has been a very wet spring with our annual rainfall usually 985mm a year. So far this year we are already well over 1200mm with almost 3 months of the year still to go! This week’s…
It’s iPhriday as well as World Smile Day Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world but their world. Start small. Start now! I learnt today that World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday in the month of October every year. That means it’s today, 7 October. The idea of World Smile Day was coined…
