20 July 2014

It's my birthday today.  I've never had a winter birthday before, which just goes to show that life is full of new experiences!

We drove up to Daylesford for lunch.  It's a lovely little town just over an hour outside Melbourne, and a popular destination for people who like food!  We had a happy day wandering through the town, meeting a couple of friends for lunch, and then back to Melbourne for a birthday Skype with my family at home!

During the Skype session my birthday cake appeared and my little Melbourne princess helped me to blow out the candles.  The wee girl decorated the Mississippi mud cake and I have to say I am extremely proud of her efforts and think we should all have the opportunity to admire her creativity!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
