How to make your house stand out on the street

Hang a large street number out the front. The postman now has no excuses! I picked up this metal number from Doug Up On Bourke. Every time I visit this shop, even if I promise myself to only browse, I leave with something in my hands. Purchased, of course. It is literally filled to the brim with goodies with antiques hanging from the walls and ceilings. Be sure to visit if you are in Sydney.

A breeze came wandering from the sky

A breeze came wandering from the sky,

Light as the whispers of a dream;

He put the o'erhanging grasses by,

And softly stooped to kiss the stream,

The pretty stream, the flattered stream,

The shy, yet unreluctant stream.

These photos were taken for another project that didn't progress so I am sharing with you here. Dancing in the breeze and feeling completely free. Fun.

Leaving the past alone

Last night I came home to a clean house. My mum knows I have been busy lately so she ducked in to give me a hand. Thank you, mum. The garden is the toughest to look after. Lugarno is a very leafy suburb to live in and the council here loves trees. When I first moved in a neighbour filled me in about the previous owners of our house. One was a lady with a passion for plants, especially Australian natives, and was the person the council turned to for advice on which trees to best to line our street.
