Orange
I never really thought about oranges
but now I see them growing
oodles 
on trees
not my trees, but friends trees
who deliver, bags of oranges
heavy bags
oodles of oranges
that scent, the bright colour, the warmth they bring
to winter
I never thought they were a winter fruit
but it makes so much sense
nature. seasons. all very clever really
when you think about it
I love the imperfections
the muffins we make
that freshly squeezed juice that kick starts the day
orangeness


August Break 2014 day 4

Window
All our windows look out to green
I never take this for granted
And this window has herbs 
Surviving the winter
Basil. In winter. That's Auckland I guess. 

August Break 2014 Day 3

Pattern. 
I paid attention today and the train station (and the train) gave me pattern galore. 
But we managed so much more
Lawn mower taken for repair
Coffee and early lunch in a new place 
Dropping the car and taking the train 
Strolling and shopping here
An afternoon movie watched here before the train home

1st

Not from today, but as the power goes in my phone, and I realise that after an amazingly pumping week at work it is the 1st of August. So searching my photos and thanking the universe for the prompt. Lunch. This was earlier this year. One of those happy places we return to time after time but this photo was extra special. My mum was there, sharing lunch with me. A happy happy time. Her friend and my close family down under is there is the background. Thank you for the happy lunch memories.
