I started off the weekend on a happy note buying myself a couple of bunches of flowers, a simple little treat that always make me smile. This weekend we were blessed to have had some rain, it was gratefully received. Our water tank is now full and the garden has been watered and is glowing green. We spent much time inside on Saturday just going out to visit the dvd store, the library and the shop picking up some reading material, needing our umbrellas that have spent a while packed away. I did some work on my ornament swap, there was a few bits of unpicking along the way, it's almost finished now.  And keeping the oldest busy was an afternoon spent baking in the kitchen, filling out bellies with her chocolate cupcake delights. The cooking continued on Sunday with Miss 13 making some honeycomb to give to her Year 12 buddy who finishes high school this week, they have developed a lovely friendship over the year.  Miss Molly was given her weekly wash, she doesn't like it one bit but we love her when she looks white instead of grey and she smells a whole lot better too. The sun reappeared on Sunday and I got the urge to go somewhere to take photos so we headed just a short drive to our local Japanese gardens.  It would seem that lots of other photographers also had the same idea, it was very popular with many families having their portraits taken. Miss 8 also had lots of fun taking photos with my phone, around 500 I think she took, isn't the digital age wonderful. It wasn't much of an exciting weekend in terms of outings but I think with the end of school only weeks away and Christmas creeping upon us soon, these types of weekends are just what we need to charge our batteries ready to face the busy season around the corner.  How was your weekend?
