So here it is, 2011. I'm hoping fervently that it's better than 2010! I'm trying to relax at the moment, since I'm on holiday from work. But as the year ticked over I felt the urge to make lists - all the projects I've had in my head to make, things to plant in the garden, books to read etc. There were a lot of things written down and I know I won't get through half of them. But having them on paper at least means they're out of my head and I don't need to keep worrying about them.
I've been down in the dumps ever since that stupid earthquake - so to cheer myself up I'll be doing another series of "Simple Things" posts - just as a reminder to take joy in the little things. But first, I'm going to Timaru to stay with my mum for a few days, catch up with some friends, and make the most of this summer weather (don't turn, don't turn, don't turn!)
How's this for a new year's harvest? Spuds, baby carrots, borlotti beans, garlic, zucchini and the first two tomatoes. This lot all went into a lovely vege curry. I have some pictures and future posts planned about the garlic harvest and the first tomato (it wasn't the one I was expecting!).Till then, happy new year to you all.

Keep your chin up little Kiwi!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a happy 2011 from a fellow list maker.
ReplyDeleteYes the list idea has grabbed me too. Maybe it's a type of New Year's Resolutions, of intentions and directions I want to go in this year.
ReplyDeleteThe vegetables look marvellous as vegetables always do. I particularly like the way you have presented the carnations. They look beautiful.
Thanks for the comments guys... happy list making to us all!
