So many adventures (i get exactly the same when i don't post for a long while & then always have way to much to say & end up not saying anything at all - "virtually" tongue tied lol) I am adoring all your creations, the dragons, your goddess. The munchkins look as though they have had enormous fun. <br /><br />I so want to give the cheese making a try now! Thanks for the inspiration. Just have to buy a new muslin as the mice chewed through my old one many moons ago. I have a vision in my head of us one day being a semi self sufficient little household, lol im dreaming again. Still i am planning our veg patch over the winter, a first step i guess. x xRuthie Reddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544345949078281235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-46036626804774882242011-11-24T03:26:45.655+08:002011-11-24T03:26:45.655+08:00wow!! what a post! so lovely to catch up :) and i ...wow!! what a post! so lovely to catch up :) and i just adore the dragons - amazing! but, i must confess, the nature photos are always my favs - esp. the sun on granite *sigh*Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236906641354002595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-71928417218541357962011-11-24T02:09:43.965+08:002011-11-24T02:09:43.965+08:00funny, yesterday I wondered out loud, 'where i...funny, yesterday I wondered out loud, 'where is she??' and here you are!

I fully agree that we grown ups should let ourselves do things like that more often - it opens us up to a whole different playful and creative side to ourselves. The landscape around the place you camped looks just stunning!

The nasturtiums are beautiful.... we had none at my house, so I have sown a few seeds, and right now watching them rise up -- not long now before the delectable flowers blossom and find their way into my salad bowl! My beetroot looks somewhat similar to yours -- I think it had a few very dry days, and they go to seed early when they've been through some rough conditions. Oh, and the spring maiden - fantastic! She is a beauty. I am sure she will attract some wonderful vibes into your home.Joel Le Blanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08675507358326057262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960060657339262513.post-86027945883453346672011-11-23T05:26:03.220+08:002011-11-23T05:26:03.220+08:00Wow, what a lot of lovely things you've all be...Wow, what a lot of lovely things you've all been up to!
