Winter hues

Despite the morning mist a blue sky teases me.

This is winter and the sky moves fast.
Rain refreshes everything, but forces us in.

So we snuggle up and occupy ourselves inside.

But why not craft, cut, stick, and glue instead of looking at screens?
I love this photo, looking at each other for ideas, wide eyes with the possibilities.



We need to get out for a change of scene. So I take Little Miss out to craft, cut, stick and glue at the local library's storytelling session. The story teller rocks, she sings, plays games and makes everyone smile. Little Miss refuses my help with the car themed craft. I feel a bit redundant.



Finally the weather gives us some respite and B wants to explore. He kits up. What is it with boys and accessories? The creek offers much amusement.


We have a much needed play in the park, the reflections on the water are beautiful. I'm loving that wisp of hair

Our neighbour shares his special olive recipe and shows us where to find the biggest olives I've ever seen. We go collecting together and the kids worry they will have to eat these bitter black things that stain our fingers.

Coming in from the cold, finally we seek the comforts of a warm home and a warm lunch. I really enjoyed this steaming hot chicken noodle soup with broccoli. Made from 2 minute noodles, barbecue chicken, chicken stock and broccoli.

This is how we winter.

Winter is a much more difficult than summer to find things to do to occupy children. But you look like you have nailed it CF!
Love your photos and your soup looks yummy.
Keep shining my very talented friend for these are such precious days.
Namaste
