Something about the change in the weather always re-invigorates me.
We headed off to the library and came home with arms laden with gorgeous and inspiring cookbooks, house renovating manuals and world music. It's exciting to be excited.
There are grand plans for the vege garden, for furniture painting, for a chook shed. We wait for mild, misty mornings to go foraging for mushrooms. I love not having to haul water back and forth to the plants, and having washing cool on the line, instead of drying all crunchy and burnt.
I start to cook more. Richer and more sumptious meals, preparing to lay down that extra layer of squidgy winter fat to get us through the cold weather.
The baby boy dashes across the garden in his first pair of shoes, scraping the toes off and tripping over everything. He loves it outside. Today we pulled all the tomato plants and saved the last few tomatoes to dry for the seeds. Time for brassicas, after a good mulch.
Things are happening, and it's marvellous.
