colour

This weekend was a long, long weekend (for me).  With David away and rainy weather until today, keeping the kids from being bored and tormenting oneanother was a task.  But today the sunshine cheered them and they played outside a good deal of the day. They made a welcome home sign for da.

Meanwhile I was able to have tea and read a magazine. 

I took the opportunity this afternoon to look through all of my Donna Hay spring magazines and find some yummy inspiration for the coming weeks.

We watched the Secret Garden, which I am currently reading.  Portrait of a Lady didn't really appeal to my, so I took a book from my pile beside the bookshelf.  :)

I also took some fresh inspiration from the colour in our garden.  Even the weeds!  :)

And a couple of our resident magpies paid us a visit.
