115/365 ANZAC Day

This morning we rose early to attend our local dawn service.  There is always a nice big turnout of people of all ages which is wonderful to see.  All generations taking time out of their day to remember those who have serve and still serve our country to make it the safe place we a blessed in which to live.

112-115/365

 So it's been a few days since I have posted, my hubby took time off this week and has been busy around the house getting all those things done that you run out of time to do on the weekend.
While he has been busy I've been keeping him company and doing all my usual everyday things too like baking in the kitchen.  This week I made a batch of Anzac biscuits and an Apple and Oat Breakfast Cake.

 Outside my hubby was busy putting some compost in the garden and mulching the garden beds, it has been so long since I have been growing anything more than herbs. I feel I am probably ready now to be back outside, I can't wait to have some lettuce, tomatoes and other yummy things growing.  Now the yards are all ready and waiting for me to get out there and start planting.

Today the girls participated in an Anzac Day service, it was such a beautiful day for it today.

And finally.....I have a finished shawl.  It has taken me way way too long to get it finished.  I wish I wasn't such a procrastinator, it feels great to finish off a project. I have just three more unfinished projects to go and I have a new one I can't wait to start.

Have a wonderful Saturday.

Today the girls walked in their first Anzac parade with their school.  They were there volunteering their time as a show of respect for those who have fought for our country, that gave us our freedom and for those who still fight in war to help others.  These are moments that build character and a sense community within themselves that I see only as a positive for them in their future.  It was a proud day to be a parent and to be an Australian.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left to grow old

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Thank you
Anzac Day
