On what seemed to be the windiest day ever since I had been in Perth, flew in a flock of noisy red tailed black cockatoos. They landed in our silver princess tree, practically clinging to the branches with dear life. In spite of the cold and wind, I ran back...
As I blogged yesterday, Laura got a wall decal for her bedroom as a birthday present from Yaya. Miranda was quickly enlisted for help, and she accepted.
Sunday brought Christmas! We went to church and family came soon after. I didn’t get many photos, perhaps after a few rounds of presents, I was tuckered out. 🙂
Rubàwas tucked into bed (Silas was allowed to stay up) and we continued our Christmas.
Presents bought and wrapped, cookies baked, house and tree decorated, what’s left to do? WAIT for Christmas!
There is a big mistake that we can often make leading up to Christmas. Too much rushing around and not enjoying the MOMENTS. For many years now, I have treated the whole holiday like a season, and not allow all this preparation to be for ONE DAY. So I am...
I promised Georgie a few photos of our house and such at Christmas. She has a Christmas village and my mom likes to make one too. Our Tree at Christmas Eve The Christmas Village The tree and presents on Christmas Eve
I went to Lake Waterford the other day, and my son Enric pulled me aside to show me a tree that had been struck by lightning and was completely stripped of its bark:
Hopefully soon, we will adding on to our house. Enric and Miranda will be adding another floor to the house, but one of the physical first steps was to remove a rather large branch from our tree near our deck in the backyard. Silas and Miranda secured a prime front...
I know there is a lot of talk about ACORN these days, and I almost didn’t notice the ABUNDANCE of acorns that are falling from our trees. Not only are they early and plentiful, they are BIG. The mere girth of these things are making awful sounds when they fall...
It’s not even Christmas yet, and alread I am feeling the blessings of the season through gifts, and as usual I like to share with them to my blog readers. My very FIRST present this year was from Enric and Miranda. They noticed my reaction to the lovely birch trees...
I took advantage of this little graphic that came my way via a graphic’s yahoo group, and decided to fill in my family tree. Years ago in High School we had to do a family tree project, and I worked so long and hard on it. I remember hours at...
Recently I blogged on my magical backyard and posted photos of its treasures low to the ground. I was amiss in showing one of the treasures, high in the sky. A special tree. One that always conjured up stories between my friend Lisa and I. It’s built kind of odd...
Miquel and Laura selected a kitty each. Miquel named his Dante, and Laura named hers Yuna. Now Dante is sweet, timid, and cuddly. Yuna on the other hand, is crazy like a bullet. She is all over the place, attacking our feet, chasing everything, generally wreaking havoc with the household....
