a year has gone by

Who would think a year (almost) has been and gone.  What has happened? 

My grandson now has two new bottom teeth and a gap, waiting.  My granddaughter sat transfixed on my knee during the Steiner school dragon play.  I have a puppy, Miss Pip (Pippi Longstocking) - she's just over 3 months and a wonderful footwarmer as autumn days draw in.

My daughter is part way through her university studies and will have her first solo art exhibition in June - a combination of photos, prints, ecoprinted pieces....

My son is engaged and he and his fiancee will slip away to a tropical island "somewhen" for a private ceremony.

I am off to Denmark in June to visit friends - 7 weeks and 1 day.  It will be worth the 19 hours to Singapore and the 6 hour layover and then the last 6 hour leg into Copenhagen.  It's been 9 years since I was last there.

And here are a couple of pieces that have happened over the last little while.  In between trying to finish masses of bookwork to gain my Adult Literacy tutoring qualification......

she's a Schnoodle - that terrier hunting instinct is already alive and well


 I'm starting to learn patience - merino around copper pipes - dried for a whole week.....that's the secret
who would think ladder ferns could make such a lovely green
and today is my younger sister's birthday
Happy Birthday

    1. by the time we next see you, I'm betting we can all play frisbee. Wonderful how quickly she stole our hearts - L adores her too - they do mornings in the dewy dark together! Now she's on her long line under the gingko tree with a new bone and a big bowl of water - she's oblivious to me wrapping on the deck. Sigh.........
