I touch the water, thank it and ask for safe passage through its "lands".<br />I hope you are coping with the heat and then the storms that follow. It was 41C in Melbourne before (it's 45F or 7C here at the moment).yarnivoroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253817840476574619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-11132142850346688882016-01-13T18:13:26.579+11:002016-01-13T18:13:26.579+11:00I can almost feel how special this ritual would fe...I can almost feel how special this ritual would feel.

I say a little prayer of thanks, I think about the day we planted the orchard, and look forward to doing it again next year. The apricot is warm and I listen to our little Silkie chooks clucking at my feet. <br />Coincidently my little ritual was this morning !<br />Light and love, Jude sunflowers_and_tulipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354024735795247845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-74236796164141592562016-01-13T12:30:28.363+11:002016-01-13T12:30:28.363+11:00What a lovely way to savour what is definitely a s...What a lovely way to savour what is definitely a special moment.

Your grandad sounds like a great man. <br />And I've tried growing berries over the years but our intense easterly winds & searing heat always kill plants before the magic happens. This year however I planted a blackberry & raspberry plants hoping I could work some magic of my own & keep them alive. So far the raspberry is still ok but the blackberry is not. I'm still hoping & talking to them & dreaming about fresh berries.....Reannon https://www.blogger.com/profile/04215161182830545561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-83022504895101743852016-01-13T07:35:50.750+11:002016-01-13T07:35:50.750+11:00Lovely Kate

My grandfather always presented my grandmother with the first jewels of a crop too. He would cycle home from the allotment with the fruit or veg in a basket and a few flowers wrapped in newspaper on the top.

They usually appear early in the morning here in the UK and add pleasure to my mornings. All my vegetables are still seeds nestling in their box, so it is so nice to hear about your harvesting, even if you are still planting a little later because of your trip.
