We've always known we would come to this moment, that the time would arrive for our son to have open heart surgery again. It's always sat there.
I planted some beautiful garlic from @nature_at_the_lud this morning and revelled in the front yard surroundings. Early winter garden delights simply abound. For me, connecting with the soil and the verdant life that springs forth from it, is easily the best way to sooth my worried soul.
I dreamt that we were on an ocean
Our life lens has zoomed in fixedly on the vitality of our eldest child's heartbeat.

Autumn harvest basket. Padron chilli's, peppers, kale, chard, chayote, butter beans, figs, and a lone courgette (the last of his kind).
A table full to the brim with the cornucopia of Autumn. I am continually humbled by how much food our small patch of earth creates for us. We live on a hill, it's a sand dune and it's 800 square metres. It's not convenient, it's not naturally fertile and not at all large. I truly believe we can grow much more than we think, in many more places and spaces than we currently do.
Link in bio. Wow. This is a listen from @nukuwomen . A wide-ranging and provoking kōrero from the incredible @tinangata - activist, researcher and generally awesome wahine toa. It's taken me some time to get to listen to this, but boy was it worth it. There were many quotes I've scrawled down from this interview, but let me share this one which particularly got a "heck yes" from me,
Thats my proud face as I carry my favourite pumpkin in. Pretty pleased with how all our pumpkins went this year and super excited to get some good autumnal soups and risottos and stews a go-go.Thanks to @koangainstitute for the gorgeous Queensland Blue seeds - a new pumpkin to me but gee what a looker
Easter belongs in Spring
