So this morning, I ate some lazy hummus toast (calendula, broccoli and pineapple sage flower FYI) in the sun, and plotted a rare morning of reprieve in the slow and ever-so-patient winter garden.
The friends that celebrate the turning of a year together, stay together. Happiness is a fire permit. A setting sun. Some ancient, but surprisingly effective, fireworks. Sausages. Marshmallows. Haiku, song, friends and wine. Love where we live.
Very mid-winter. The quietest time in the garden, shepherded by many cabbages, broccoli, leeks, kale, calendula, chard and cauliflower.
On this winter morning, these two boys stayed in their pyjamas, and began the long task of rebuilding the lost, and regularly hankered for, LEGO police station. FINALLY, at 12:44pm, as their mother got increasingly bothered about the need to get on with the day, they summoned her excitedly and she got to take this completely unposed photo of two brothers feeling awash with pride and accomplishment. Sometimes it’s completely fine to sit around in flannel for a morning. Little things/big things.
Deliciously frosty morning even further improved by my warm feeling of smug at having covered my new passionfruit vines just in time. *phewfies*
Last light of a full and wonderful winters day in Taranaki with @greenschoolnz Full mind, full heart. 💕🙏✨
