gratitude day 8

Ive almost bought a car! its exactly what i wanted except its sedan instead of hatch, its the coolest green machine!! cant wait to pick it up on friday!!!

speaking of green i currently have spinich practicly coming out of my ears, its growing like crazy and the freezer is fast filling up. luckily we are eating all the peas before they make it inside (i had no idea peas straight from the vine could be eaten like snow peas, they are so sweet and juicy!) also after buying a dozen eggs our neighbour gave us one and a half dozen from her chooks, so egg and spinich pie is a happening thing around here at the moment! and on the same day i wonderd how on earth we would get through all these eggs boots finaly started laying!!!

we also have cauliflowers almost ready to pick, strawberrys that im checking daily and cant wait to eat and chamomile plants that are getting bigger, im realy looking forward to my very own chamomile tea.

today i am grateful for edible plants. they are no harder to grow than regular plants but they have a purpose greater than just looking pretty. seriously, what is better then walking out to your garden on a warm morning and finding something great to eat right in front of you, no preperation , just pick it and eat it? that i am truly grateful for

i have been having a go at making waldorf dolls, something ive been wanting to do for a while. the little blue one i made first as practice and the faceless one i am working on now. i was working on it today and the girls thought it was great that i was making them a new 'baby'. it is already been well loved, cuddled and smeared with vegemite from sweet little kisses, i cant imagine how much they will love him when he actually has a face and hair
