It feels like Spring is finally here today - just walking outside to get some lunch, with the sun smiling down on me, makes the world feel like a much cheerier place. And leaving work after 5:30 and it NOT BEING DARK (woohoo!) is amazing. Between seasons it's so easy to forget that it will ever be warm/cold/light/dreary ever again.
All the beautiful flowers that we only get to see once a year are now popping up in the garden again, unfortunately mosquito season has already arrived (and mozzies LOVE me, argh), but the ideas of after-work activities and eating dinner outside seem like real possibilities again! We can even start hanging our washing on the washing line again!! Wow.
Some of my favourite things to do in Spring are:
- swinging on the hammock under our massive jacaranda tree, which has little purple buds appearing. LOVE.
- planting and feeding all my new garden babies, and watching the green appear on my strawberry and raspberry plants, and the tiny ornamental grape bunches on my vines.
- eating stinky cheese and drink wine in the back yard.
- walking!
- starting to look forward to Christmas (I even ordered some tree decorations online yesterday!)
- getting back into cooking and baking, and eating all the amazing fruits that are back in town again now (mangoes, avocadoes, strawberries, mmmmm!)
- having weekend afternoon naps with all the windows open!
Also, now is the time that I start looking forward to my birthday as well, so it's a fun time of year!
Hooray!
Lots of love and sunshine to you all,
