These Days

The frenetic pace of Christmas has arrived!  I have been so busy that writing my blog has been put aside.  I do love Christmas time and the festive season, but the rush to get things done can be overwhelming at times especially when the social agenda ramps up as well! Catching up with friends is also what makes it so special, but I wish it wasn't concentrated into the three weeks prior to Christmas Day!
Nevertheless, we have found some quiet time at home for making christmas cards, sewing placemats as christmas presents, baking cakes for social afternoon teas(!), catching up on some reading and viewing from the library, making bread, preparing the garden for summer harvest by planting out more vegies as well as spreading crushed rock around the garden beds.  Our corn looks like a bumper harvest this year and our Lollo Rosso Lettuces are ready to pick. These days are busy!
