my little seeds are growing well
this is rather surprising.

10 days later.

maybe a new list later…

[list two] spring is …

the buzzing of bees
picking wild flowers to press
warm, sunny days. but a heat i dont mind
rain. lots of it ~ but happy rain
fresh flowers on the table
trees full of blossoms
the start of daylight savings
longer days, more light
sowing seeds, planting veges
birds singing, all day long
the beginning of jandal wearing
but many days the gumboots will still be needed
lambs
growth
my birthday
strawberries
cleaning out
flying kites
cloud watching
line dried laundry

instant

working on number 17 on my list

and number 10 – just 360 days to go …

23 before 24

last year i didn’t write a birthday list. i did the year before, but not the year just gone.  i have my life list (which i am yet to share, maybe soon…) but i missed the smaller, one year list. so, having just celebrated my birthday in the weekend, i wrote a new list ~ 23 before 24

3. finish my knitted afghan
4. grow my own veges
5. take 52 colourless photos (already started here)
6. write. everyday.
7. shoot film. lots of it.
8. learn how to parallel park
9. honour my one word for the year – light
10. take a photo-a-day
11. make home-made mayonnaise
12. bake five recipes found on pinterest
13. write 52 lists (this counts as 1!)
