Start Every Day...

 

Dismantling My Old Bed...

Dismantling my old bed was really quite simple and surprisingly I felt very uplifted once the room was clear of it. The space was given a good cleansing with some Palo Santo, the smoke leaving the room feeling sparkling as I waited for the new bed to arrive.

Once the new bed had been delivered, I swiftly moved everything into the bedroom and waited for my son to arrive to help me assemble it. Charles was the only one to come and investigate, strangers carrying large boxes which resulted in loud thumping noises had Nala and Bear scatter to dark safe places.

Thankfully we had the bed in place and made in just twenty minutes, we had dreaded the whole flatpack experience however it was super easy. Mind you, Nala was a very friendly supervisor!

I was delighted with the new more modern look the bed gives, plus it doesn't squeak every time I sit on it. Charlie was the first to give it his seal of approval. I like the fact that it is lower to the floor, and not having anything at the foot of the bed gives the room a more flowing feeling. 

The first night's sleep was peaceful and no back aches and no wobbles and squeaks each time I turned over.  It is quite amazing what a difference a few new pieces of furniture can make...

 

An Arty Discovery...

An arty discovery which is less than a five minute walk from my little cottage. 

Truly beautiful paintings of a rose chested galah and also of a majestic red tailed cockatoo with two babies amazingly added to the piece.

 These awesome paintings are hidden away from view on the toilet doors of Café Chidlow. 

I also really admire the scene the mural depicts which is clearly seen from the carpark.

 It was actually rather refreshing discovering art has found it's way to sleepy Chidlow...

 

A Canopy Of Grey...

A canopy of grey clouds was a delightful sight on Monday, sadly though no rain was contained within them. Venturing out into the local bushland to see how it was fairing after this dreadful dry hot weather. 

Plenty of birds were seen as they flirted amongst the foliage, mates are being sought as the breeding seasons begin.as the seasons shift. 

 There was more insect activity here too, the flowers of some plants actually looking succulent and providing much needed sustenance for many species. There were also quite a few tiny saplings surging forth from the earth and even on the rocky gravel mounds. 

Our Earth Mother is resilient, and I admire her for her strength, she does not give up easily.

With a nippy wind dancing around my ankles, I felt invigorated as I ambled along. 

Clouds have a nurturing effect on me, I find nothing more boring than an endless blue sky...
