Livin' the Dream

Perhaps it is the spring weather or maybe the end of year approaching, but which ever way you look at it seems I've had some time recently to reflect and appreciate...

For starters - we love where we live - apart from the obvious location in South East Queensland, I am also talking about our local area and the place we call home.

Making the move from town to semi-rural a few years back has afforded us the opportunity to experiment/expand the garden and reap the rewards everyday. And it is not just me, Tony has this love thing going on too "Just livin' the Dream!" - his latest standard answer is more truer than you think.

We are rewarded everyday and not just from what we harvest from the vege garden to eat, but also having play spaces for the kids to explore/create/imagine; getting them involved in the planting/picking/checking of the veges; keeping chickens and providing them with glorious greens post-harvest to devour; being able to give surplus food/flowers/seeds to family/friends/neighbours (especially after they have looked after your pets and garden when you go away); but maybe the most important aspect - the sharing of knowledge!

Sorry for getting all philosophical with you, but truly guys - I hope you are all out there livin' your own dream like us :)
