Living on a busy street has to have some perks. Watching the crazyness that ensues in the rain is better than tv.

Our beautiful new bed, with our 'home' sign from our dear friend Elizabeth. We bouught this bed because it reminded us of the one we had on our honeymoon. It is a really beautiful, serene place to retreat to at the end of the day.

Not many people like this piece of highway art, but I love it! It is meant to be a tussock of grass, and it is made of twisted steel I beams.

October 13, 2010

I came home to a wonderful suprise tonight: my hubbie bought me a beautiful old bike. Old-school vintage, I love it! He cleaned it up, put some new white wall tyres on it, and I am riding in style!

My desk at work. The essentials: diary, wallet, scale ruler and some Top Deck chocolate!

On my last morning driving in from the farm, the traffic made me look forward to our up coming move into the city.
