: After months of brown and yellow, the rain we have been having has turned the countryside green again; and it is beautiful. The grass is growing, and we have our fingers crossed that we get a heap more rain before it gets too cold.
: I’ve been perusing photoblogs lately. I am thinking about doing a photo type blog as a collaboration. Nothing is in place yet. I don’t always have time for this one so I’m probably mad to start another. I’m loving this one called A Year Of Motherhood though. Soooo beautiful.
: Loving fresh, home made basil pesto. On everything. Stirred through pasta, or just spread thickly on good wholemeal bread, and topped with fresh picked tomatoes and a twist of salt and pepper. Yummo!
: We’ve started thinking about our renovation and extension. A few weekends back, Country Boy’s brother (who is an architect) came over and talked to us about what we wanted to do. He was instantly full of good advice, and is going to draw some plans up for us. Luckily we are flexible on design. I just need a mud room, large pantry, and big kitchen… Looking forward to the finished result, not so much the actual renovation. In the meantime I’m loving Pinterest. Probably just a little too much.
: Have you seen Made By Joel? Love the amazing modern art printables and craft ideas for kids. Keeping it in the back of my mind for the holidays.
Oh i'd love a mud room too, preferably mud colour. You know that mushroomy brown colour. I just love the idea of having a bench to sit down and take the boots off, hang up the coat/hat/scarf/flip flops/beach bag, etc, and head on inside. Instead it all gets strewn around the lounge room. Doh!
And that pesto looks DELISH.
Jo, I love how quickly everything has greened up!
One of my must-haves when we build again is a mud room, I just love the idea. I hope the reno goes smoothly for you. x
It has been so lovely seeing some green grass lately, hasn't it! I've held off planting all summer because it was just so scorching, and I am very excited about getting back into the garden this weekend.

Nothing like pinterest for inspiration and time wasting. How exciting a new renovation!!. And handy that you have family to help with designs. I can't wait tip we out at the farm to renovate and even better to decorate. I love your photos. They are really really really….(i could go on) good, especially all the landscape nature pics. …Its also become nice and green around these parts and the rain is bliss, especially over night tucked up in bed. Like you, we too need a little bit more while its still nice and warm out. Enjoy, another month is upon us…
Thanks Elisha! Hasn't the year gone quickly so far!
