Just a girl and her favourite piece at the Art Gallery today.
The depth of her soul needs no words.
The description of the magnificent piece so fitting .
I am always in awe of how she finds ways to communicate who she is beyond her diagnosis. šŸ©·

Cups of tea and hide and seek in the garden!
So beautiful to sit back and enjoy what I have created, with the littles. I have a dwarf pear tree & dwarf Bay Leaf tree going in this bed too šŸ©·šŸ

Special needs parenting comes with its own guilt package. Well it has for me.
These school holidays I have realised that I have not allowed myself to feel joy for so long, like real deep joy.
I constantly feel like I donā€™t do enough for our girl, like itā€™s so ingrained in me to ensure she is happy all the time. And when she isnā€™t I blame myself, I think what do I need to do to fix this for her. Itā€™s like I have surrendered living because I canā€™t fix it for her. I canā€™t fix her life the way I want it to be, I canā€™t change that she has good days and bad days, donā€™t we all. I feel like I have been holding my breath for so long, running on if I fix every micro detail I wonā€™t have to feel the pain of watching her live with Rett.
Itā€™s so fā‚¬cking hard on my heart. Iā€™m so hard on myself. Like this kid is tracking just like any other tween wants to listen to her music,
Wants to hang in her room, has a crush on a boy in a music band, living her best life and I still feel like itā€™s never enough. So here is the kicker literally, I am starting to want to live life again, I am starting to feel joy that I canā€™t control, like my heart bursts with joy lately and I have been feeling so guilty about it.
I created a rule that if I live as a martyr I can live with the pain and guilt. The bible talks about martyrdom, I have taken a personal vow to give my life, but to be honest itā€™s not a healthy vow, for her or me!
It is no longer sustainable.
I feel guilt for having support, like I donā€™t deserve itā€¦but the reality is I have to let go, I have to let new life breathe into our lives, I have to accept what is and have faith that as my joy returns she will also benefit.
Our ankles are said to represent moving forward and accepting joy. Ironically my ankle has been playing up for a few weeks, I do believe in the psychosomatic connection of our bodies and our mental and emotional state. I also believe spiritually I am being shown that I need to move forward, move toward joy and life. It is time to let go of my martyr identity.
For her, for me and for the life that we have, not the one I had wished we had, had! šŸ™šŸ©·

A little trip to Bunnings playground and this lot of seedlings cost me $2.20. So much food, 20c each! Broccoli, tomatoes, giant chard, parsley, lettuce, cress, oregano, apple cucumbers, marjoram and few others. I have bought these throw out plants before and filled my beds. Super grateful and was planting them in the dark tonight šŸ¤£šŸ©·šŸ™

I havenā€™t had much time in the garden over the school holidays. I also feel like the garden needed some breathing space from my need to over nurture it šŸ¤£
Could this be our first apple bud?
Lemon and Mandarine have fruit buds, baby butternuts and tiny zucchini!
Nothing like planting seeds, forgetting what and where you planted and ta da there is little plants pooping up everywhere!
German Chamomile I have unsuccessfully tried in seed trays several times. Threw some seeds around the garden and here she is in all her glory, Calendula also staring to bud.
White mulberries fast becoming the favourite and so loaded with fruit.
A handful of blueberries, snow peas still producing with the littlest little always in my shadow eating them as fast as they grow!
Ladybirds all through the garden, gobbling up the aphids, spider mite catching all the baby caterpillars. Now you may think Iā€™m mad not treating all these critters with herbicide, but my instincts tell me to just let nature be. Back at my first growing season and it always means the first crops are mostly to build the soil, balance out the eco system and be patient. In saying that I have used some eco iron based snail pellets to curb the slaters. They have had full reign of the yard for years and think itā€™s all for them.
Iā€™m happy to share however they are not!
I now have 26 or so fruit producing trees and plants. My block is 498m2, we have a 3 bed house, garage carport for 3 cars, 8mtr swimming pool, pool shed, garden shed and patio. So I have maybe around 50m2 to grow in! Small doesnā€™t mean unproductive šŸ©·

Mate if you are not growing your own food are you even living?
Such simple goodness!
Home grown spuds well, ya know, they are nothing like the ones you buy at the shop, so so good!
Silverbeet, Horseradish leaves & Broad Beans sautƩd with some local Gero honey & some crumbled feta. Divine combo!
All these veg are super easy to grow, grab some grow bags or find a little patch and get some in!
Greens loose loads of their nutrients shortly after they are picked, nothing like picking them while your steak is cooking!
Not only does growing your own give you more bang for your buck, it also keeps you active and makes you happier, not to mention itā€™s not washed in chlorine or other hidden nasties!
So grateful for my little patch ā£ļø

Canā€™t find my recipe book, had to wing it, made a peanut butter brownie, flourless choc cake, sticky date pudding, soft spelt burger buns and crispy chicken fillets and loaded their burgers with salad from the garden. Send em to bed with full bellies, lights out on another day at Nans resort.
Had to whip a comfrey poultice, I may have sprained my ankle sometime last week, canā€™t remember but it was sore, comfrey fixed it overnight. Like who has time for that nonsense, not me!
Meet my Mandarine patch, so in love with this little tree.
Hope the school holidays are treating you well. Lights out now for me tooā£ļø

Just over 3 months growth, all the herbs are pumping, Passionfruit now making a canopy for shade and look at my bananaā€™s! There is also sweet potato which I planted whole and itā€™s giving me endless slips to plant out, ginger, cardamom, society garlic, bush mint, tarragon and of course nasturtium. Everything is edible! Now Iā€™m going to fit two dwarf avocado trees in here too. The bananas are in pots under the dirt, Iā€™m going to do the same with the avos, this bed is very close to the pool, so roots must be contained. Using this method is working a treat, it keeps the roots nourished, the worms can crawl in the pots, the pool is protected from root damage and we have a lush cool edible garden to enjoy. I water this bed with the rinse water from my front loader, I catch in a bucket and cart it out, no gym required!
Get planting friends, cool your outdoor spaces, build your muscles, grow food and improve your mood ā£ļø
