As much as it is a cliche, the days are rolling into weeks and the months are hurtling us toward year’s end. Here are a few of the little things that have made me stop and smile in the past week ……

 Early mornings – my favourite time of day.

 My backyard –  while my clothesline needs a good “strain” to restore its tautness, I couldn’t help but see the beauty and “Aussieness” of a Hillshoist in the the backyard with a kookaburra on top!

Running 

A Family outing …. even if it was  merely a trip to town to buy groceries, a vacuum and some more veggie seedlings!

This little munchkin who, after nearly 3 weeks of toddling, is now nearly running!

 Helping out in the paddock …. I love spending time outside even if it is disguised by work and chores.

 Rob came in for lunch on Wednesday bearing these …..

there really is so much to smile about.
