Tee-pee.

A sunny afternoon.
A ride on the back of the ute.
The front paddock.
A bunch of friends and sisters.
Some bush poles, some baling twine and some rope.
A pile of old sheets.
An old blanket or two.
A tee-pee.
A loaf of bread fresh out of the oven.
Jars of homemade blackberry jam, Vegemite and hummus.
The tin of cookies we made and iced two days ago.
Colourful tin glasses of cold water.
A game of Sleeping Beauty, some mud balls and a bit of relaxing.
A bit of crochet.
All the while keeping watch on Buster and making sure that he didn't bust out.
Summer.
Holidays.

Bye. xx

  9. How weird we are on the same wave length, today i got the teepee out and am about to make a new permanent home for it on the old deck- a permanent play space for when it is raining but Busy needs to be outside.

  13. What a fab idea Kate! Love it!!! I'm thinking a big person size one just for me in the back yard would be just the ticket indeed. :)
    Welcome home too by the way! Lovely to have you back. x

  14. That is just gorgeous!

    I've been meaning to ask - what bread recipe do you use? I've just tried Tassajara bread but it's really sweet and doesn't keep well. The best I've made so far is the no-knead bread recipe from the New York Times, but I actually feel like kneading!

  15. Looks like such fun! Reminds me of tee-pees in the back yard with my brothers when I was a kid. Being in the suburbs, I think we used tomato stakes and blankets.

    Great photos!

  16. Oooh, I'm coming over to play too. Though I'm liable to nap in that tee pee and then not be able to get up again! (30 weeks!)

    Lucky girls, having such kick arse parents, honestly Kate. You guys deserve a big pat on the back! I just thought I should let you know I thought so, in case you don't hear it enough. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.
