Enjoying the sun while it lasted....

Tyren who turned out to be a real water baby..but he has to have his floaties on..

Donnacha who didnt really want to go right into the water..so he was happy just wading by the edge..

I was a big chicken..that was as far as I could go..it was too cold to get right under..but they all kept saying "Once your in Jackie its beautiful and warm":)

Tyren loved to get into the water but loved getting out..even though he was shaking like a leaf lol

As you can see the kids loved every minute of their time down the river...we were lucky to get some sunny days for a few days so we went down the river almost every day.. Oh to be young again..

Well I'm going to do it finally..I'm going to do up a my food blog and I will have pictures and recipes so that people can follow and hopefully make it also..

I'm so looking forward to doing up my recipe book too..its taking me along time to put it all together but I hope it goes well..

Just check out my blog and I will hopefully have a name for it..

Well you all would of seen this on FB page..I just had to put it on my blog because Charna(my grand daughter) help me bake this cake..

Gosh it was so yummy and I made a really nice chocolate ganashe for the icing..Charna calls this our "Rainbow Cake"..she kinda got carried away with the food colour but, it turned out quite pretty ( I must say)..

Anyway, it didnt last a day because we had visitors galore so it came in handy.. Hmmmmm I wonder what next will we be baking when she comes down again???

I loved it and we had alot of fun making it..

Paradise here in Tassie..

I really love this view from our Lounge room window..I can sit and watch this view all day long because it changes all the the time..
I always think of the movie "Gorilla in the Mist"..Just waiting for gorilla's to come out from the mist..

This photo was taken on the other side of my lounge room looking out onto the road..It was about 7am and the sun was peaking out behind the fog and it was just amazing..it was so calm and peaceful..

Our front lawn in the Winter..

Just yesterday Charna and I decided to get in and do some exercise and we raked all the leaves up and lo and behold when I looked outside this morning it looked like we never did anything..we had a bit of a breeze this morning and blew alot of the leaves off its branches..I thought "What the heck" and this time I am leaving it on the ground and hopefully another big wind will come along and blow it all away..

The scernery was just as beautiful as ever..I love it..

Picnic on the mountains..

Last yr this was covered in snow and I think we went up to the montains a little early because there was no snow in sight..Charna was hoping to have a snow fight but it didnt happen..

I think the place still looked wonderful even thought it was grey, cold and windy..we do have a beautiful place down here in Tassie and I just love it every day..

Morning Bliss..

Well the other morning I opened up blind and this is what I saw..it was just so beautiful..I just loved the colours and how peaceful the cows looked and the serenity was just magical..

Then about 1 hr into the morning I looked outside (once again) and I saw fog coming into our property..I thought..Hello! here comes winter for sure..

But...for some unknown reason I really love the different kinds of weather we experience here in Tasmania and we do live in a beautiful part of the world..(Australia) and I am thankful for the beauty that we have and for our free - agency..
