I've been enjoying checking out Flashback Friday each week, and thought I'd join in today. I couldn't resist sharing this picture of my Dad, brother, sister and I on the farm four-wheeler circa 1986. I'm the one on the right. That dog in the background is Kelly. Nothing much has changed, you know- I still like riding motorbikes, wearing braces with my jeans and matching my outfit with my sister's...
This is the little dresser by our front doorway and yesterday the children and I made a 'spring display.' We try to change it with each season, but I'm afraid to say I had to clear away the autumn display - it's been a busy few months...
We had great fun searching the house for spring-ish pictures, (in the background is a card from Caireen, my calendar pages from this wonderful swap, and a set of bird postcards from needlebook) and then the garden for new life- we found camellia, narcissi and lavender, and planted some wee succulents in a paua shell. Arlo wanted to include the stones, he said they reminded him of spring because they 'weren't so cold to sit on anymore'.
It's a good way to acknowledge and welcome in a new season with little ones.
