Well here we are back on blog, sorry we've been absent this week - lots of wet weather, power outages etc. Just want to start by sending out 'well wishes' to all affected by the flooding rains, especially our friends on the land who may be dealing with flooded crops and ag etc and those who have been isolated for days and weeks on end. We wish you well.
Weather that heads towards to 'extreme' end of the spectrum oft reminds me of the poem 'My Country' by Dorothea Mackellar...
"I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains,
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me...(Ref: Dredge, C.K.M. and Strong, B.K. 1988, Child and Associates Publishing Pty Ltd, NSW)
On another note, I wanted to share this beaut little handmade basket I purchased a little while ago for my market trips (Farmers markets - for lots of yummy organic and handmade produce). I love it - took me a while to find 'just what I was looking for' - the round shape is perfect for sticking lots and lots in - heavy produce on the bottom, soft fruits etc on top! Doesn't matter if it gets wet - its just improves the shape and the handle is great, carry over arm, or with one's hands!
Do you have a fave basket you like to use instead of plastic Bags? Would love to hear about it...
