Dear chickens,

Thank you for fertilising our soil, for eating the bugs, for scratching and weeding and for giving us eggs to eat and to sell. We are so grateful.

Dear Melbourne farmer's marketers,

Thank you for a wonderful market day.
Thank you for coming out and supporting us farmers, for buying our produce, for choosing quality over cheap and nasty, for asking questions about our farming methods and for caring.

Thank you for introducing yourselves and for telling me you read my blog. It was wonderful to meet you and to prove to farmer Bren that you are real and not at all my imaginary friends.

Dear Indi, Jazzy and Pepper,

Thank you for sharing our organic farming dream. Thank you for letting us get you out of bed at 5.30am on a Saturday morning to drive down to Melbourne and thank you for being such wonderful farmer's marketers. We love your guts.

And dear everyone who stood behind our stall and helped us and hung out with us. You are all super stars. Thank you. xx

Dear doctors, nurses, homeopaths, friends and family,

THANK YOU for reassuring us and comforting us and checking in on us and looking after us since Miss Pepper has been sick. We are so super grateful to you all.

Dear knitting, thank you for giving me something to do with my hands, for the therapy and meditation. I cannot imagine how I would have survived this stressful situation without you.

Today it looks like Miss Pepper has finally turned a corner and we can finally exhale. Phew.

Dear kitchen garden,

We are constantly in awe and grateful for the bounty you supply us with. Those teeny seeds that we plant, water and weed that then grow up to be delicious leaves and roots. Driving back from the city yesterday, we all agreed (even the pre-teen) that we would much rather have a kitchen garden out the front of the house, than a supermarket up the street. YUM!

And dearest, darling farmer boy of mine,

Thank you for knowing what I need better than I do.
Thank you for inspiring me and encouraging me to be me.
Thank you for reminding me to exhale.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love...

And lovely readers,

Thank you for being awesome.
For writing gorgeous comments, for sharing your stories, for sharing our story, for caring.
You(se) are ace and I hope your week is wonderful.

Would you like to write a little dear.... message?
I'd so love to read it.

Bye!
