When I had a quick look at the Friday Five this morning and saw it was about Fall I thought it was all just too hard to juxtapose the seasons. Funny that it seemed too hard to look forward (through Spring and Summer) to Autumn when I had no trouble looking forward to Summer in May! But thanks to Mary Beth this has been on my mind all day and I have experienced a true transformation! This morning we picked up a great little outdoor table and chairs set (bought on EBay) and then on up to Hargraves where we bought our spring/summer garden plants including some berry canes and a peach tree. Now with dirt under my fingernails and nice rows of broccoli, tomatoes. zucchini, sweet corn, peas, rhubarb, strawberries and lettuce planted out I am really looking forward to some seasonal transformations as invited by Mary Beth:
For this Friday's Five, share with us five transformations that the coming fall will bring your way.
- A top pantry shelf with jars of blackberry and loganberry jam
- 'New' (garage sale bargain) freezer filled with tasty veges and rhubarb pies
- A daughter settled (or settling) into her Rotary exchange year in the USA - for me the transformation will be into a long-distance Mum
- The whole Lent Event experience is always transforming
- And a little basket of completely healthy Easter Eggs by the front door to give away to anyone who calls - that's if I get my knitting needles out in time!
Bonus: Give us your favorite activity that is made possible by the arrival of fall.Putting on a scarf and woolly hat and boots and kicking through the leaves on the footpath. I can hear the crunch already! Mind you - our first Autumn in Australia we visited the Sunshine Coast where the weather was like this:
