Blossoms and baking..

We've been enjoying more lovely Spring weather here this past week.

Most of the fruit trees have come out in full bloom and have filled the gardens with their wonderful fragrance and colour.

 It's a nice time for eating family meals outdoors and just letting the days drift by like the soft clouds above us.

Hubby fired up his home-made pizza oven and has been learning how to "drive" it.

It is so efficient, hot and fast that as soon as he had delivered the first pizza to our table and cut it -the second one he replaced it with was already done "to a crisp"!! lol!

At just 2 minutes per pizza, I suggested that he had serendipitously found us a new Fast-Food family business :-D

Would you care for one of our BBQ brownie cakes?

Those healthy toppings of sausages, fried eggs and shish-kababs are very good for you..hehe (wink)!

 Why is it that I can never go to Bunnings without bringing something extra home with me?

I went there on Saturday to buy a small punnet of petunias and left with a wisteria too!

Can't wait to see how it pretty it will be when it grows up and over our white pergola.

It passes too soon...sigh.

You wait and wait for ages for the vibrant Spring blossoms appear..and suddenly they arrive in an explosion of delightful exhuberance and then...poof!!

These pretty ornamental fruit trees leading up the hilltop to our house have already lost their flowers, and today they are blanketed in deep wine hued leaves.

There are some things we just can't slow down or change no matter how much we'd like to.

Springtime makes me see that it's much better to relax and try to appreciate each precious moment as it comes...and just be grateful that it ever happened at all   :-)

"As long as the earth remains,

there will be springtime and harvest."
