teapots flowers, cups and saucers flowers.....and Curly

 I stumbled upon this "Teapots flowers" on facebook last week and was inspired to take a photo of my own. I often use whatever is lying around that is the right size as a vase.....and as our garden is beautifully decorated with happy nasturtiums at the moment and they don't have very long stems, I chose one of my favourite op shop finds....a Royal Doulton cup and saucer with purple flowers......don't you just love those self seeding smiley faces......oh and those great op shop finds?

This morning Sasha went out to feed Curly the sheep to find that he couldn't stand up....we took him straight to the vet and found out that he had a tick. We just went to visit him in hospital and were shocked to see him....he doesn't look very "Curly" at the moment......they had to shave him to see if there were any more ticks. He will stay in over night and hopefully be home with us tomorrow. 

Of course we bought his fleece home but not sure yet what we will do with it.

It is very quiet around here without him ♥♥

I hope you are having a lovely weekend. I am off for a nice cuppa and maybe a tim tam (all the banana bread and anzac cookies the kids made have all gone)

what a way to start the day...

 When we bought our piece of land 11 years ago it was just an acre of land with a few trees and really, really tall grass. The first job on the very long list was to plant an orchard. I spent my birthday choosing 18 fruit trees that we had decided we could fit in, digging holes, fertilising, mulching and watering....it was the best birthday ever....and I am so grateful now....we have mangoes, bananas, starfruits, mullberries and all the citrus.

Most mornings at this time of the year we have a mix of freshly squeezed orange, mandarin and tangelo juice....it really is amazing...it feels so good and soooo healthy.

My favourite juicer is this old citrus juicer that I picked up from an op shop about 15 years ago for $10 which seemed liked heaps back then...I used to think it wouldn't last that long and was always really careful when I used it but now realise it will probably out live me....and a bonus...no electricity needed.....just muscles.

How do you start your day? 

Love to hear from you ♥ Jo
