The Week That Was… #217

A Week that Was Post… on what we have been up to the last couple of weeks… We have had a few wild and crazy storms and plenty of beautiful sunshiny days… and not nearly enough rain… hopefully there is plenty of more rain to come – even though I can’t believe I am actually writing that!!!

It is the best time of year to catch the sunrise… no one here is an early riser after all.

The garden is filled with sugarbirds… if you find a quiet spot and just watch them you will discover a magical show…

And when you find a net on the beach during a beach cleanup, then you have your own built in rigging.

And treasures…

There has also been a fair amount of decluttering… just a little corner of space every single day…

  1. Isn’t it fun Cat, I keep finding that little person in that pose all over my camera and phone pictures!!! Hope you guys have a fabulous week!!!

  2. Hey hey. I do have to ask where you get your cream from for the butter. And how doe that compare to the normal price of butter
    🙂

  3. Hay Irene, We just use regular cream from whichever store we are shopping at, and it usually works out at slightly less using the cream… the price of butter is just ridiculous and homemade butter is so much nicer. We just buy a litre of cream and beat and then add some salt flakes… delicious. Hope you have a great week!!!

  4. Oh Marcia, I had to look back at the post and think: who… who is going to fall and crack their heads!!! I am clearly immune to the wild and wackiness of crazy kids… And as for that little one… everybody else was busy and he was sick of waiting so he completely sorted himself out and headed out on the water… I was right there, but I thought he would have a little fear – none whatsoever!!! Hope you guys are having a good week… your new house looks fabulous!!!
