A Wonderful Book

I have just discovered this lovely book called, 'In the Light of the Child' by Michael Hedley Burton. This book follows all the weeks of the year and for each week, there is a verse pertaining to that week. There are verses for the weeks of Easter, Christmas etc... and the really wonderful part of this book is that it is for the Northern AND Southern Hemisphere, Yay, at last something for the Southern Hemisphere. You can buy it from Bob and Nancy Booksellers, Amazon and locally from Loot, I have added it to my Loot books on the left side of the page for those in South Africa.

Our Large Lemon

Hello everyone, just thought I would show you our Enormous Lemon we picked off one of lemon trees this week, I couldn't believe my eyes. It is next to an extra large free range egg form our special girls (our chickens)!

Holidays

I know I haven't posted for a few days, but I have been soooo busy with all my orders from my Etsy shop and now today I took a breather and went outside into the garden with my children and just photographed everything that has been happening over the last few weeks.....



This is a most beautiful plant, it is called a Buddleia Davidii, (a butterfly plant), it attracts the most beautiful butterflies and has a divine scent.



Our Roses are also blossoming forth...



Isn't nature amazing, just look at all these littls workers busy collecting all they can from this pumpkin flower!



Our grape vine is heavily laden with grapes, almost time for wine making again.... fun!



We discovered this pumpkin completely by accident, we recycle most of our veggie scraps and a few pumpkin seeds must have found their way into our compost heep. Anyway, when we dug our new vegetable beds and filled them with compost, this pumpkin vine emerged out of nowhere and under all the massive leaves, we found this beautiful pumpkin, it measures, 16 inches across and it is still growing... What a lovely surprise!!



This is our resident bat, he lives in our patio umbrella and he has been with us for a few years, every evening at dusk, he flies out with his other bat friends, he is precious....

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.....

Days of Advent

We have moved our wreath, Kingdom Calendar and our Nativity onto a separate table. Each morning my children take turns to light the candle for this week for the mineral kingdom, another opens a window on the Advent calendar and another will have a turn to place one of the wooden figures at the nativity scene. They thouroughly enjoy this and love to see the nativity grow each day and to see which beautiful scene is hidden behind each window on the Advent calendar!

Enjoy your week....




We lit our first Advent candle on Sunday evening, it was very special!
