a photo-a-day challenge with FatMumSlim May #1

Greetings all,
Welcome to the first 10 days of the photo-a-day challenge with FatMumSlim for May.

1. peace - i have a huge bunch of hearts in all shapes, sizes, materials & reasons hanging by the door in our lounge (living area) which bring me so much peace.

2. skyline - in preparation of fully grown chickens, i had to create a fence to hold back a German Shepherd: this is my skyline, i loathe it, our back pergola THAT CLOSE to the neighbour's back door, i'd much prefer wide open spaces where i can't see the neighbours!!

3. something i wore today - gum boots, galoshes, wellingtons, whatever you call them. they're a Winter essential & great in the snow.

4. fun - as my husband missed Easter, his only request was to come home from war to a Lindt bunny, so we Lindt bunnied alright!!

5. bird - a cherished gift from a beautiful person.

6. you - this kettle is SO me . . . it's Alessi (i love designer brands, Italian = even better), it's shaped like Mickey Mouse (i love Disneyland), i tune out while the kettle boils (i day dream) & trying new things (like drinking tea) + i bought it when i was 20 (knowing it would be an investment piece). The butterfly was a gift from my favourite Army wife Melissa.

7. someone who inspires you - my 3rd girl . . . she struggles with her papa away at war; i have to work harder at parenting this child than any other; her whole world is rainbows, unicorns & sitting on toadstools. When she's humming away drawing, i know i'm doing a good job of being her mummy . . . other times, she inspires to try harder. Let's just say, she's the family barometer.

8. a smell you adore - fresh bread, enough said.

9. something you do everyday - for the past 15 years i have been responsible for feeding someone everyday, from animals to children, there is something terribly rewarding & nurturing about it. Oh & meet our new Silver Spangled Hamburg hens.
