"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?" "What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully....
Meadow Treasures and Thai-Spiced Roasted Cauliflower
by Krista | Nov 19, 2013 | Summer
Bear and I were sick with an awful, achy, fevered flu for the past week. We felt miserable, and by day five we were both going a bit stir-crazy. So we took our sick selves outside, Bear to potter away with his tractor and me to amble down our driveway to pick a big...

Under A Painted Sky and Raw Dark Chocolate Cranberry Pudding
by Krista | Nov 15, 2013 | Summer
My soul needed storms this week. Wild, unrestrained, and fiercely beautiful. I needed madcap nights where the rain fell in sheets instead of drops and gales hurtled leaves through the air as if they were snowflakes in a blizzard. I needed to be out in it, buffeted and...

by Krista | Nov 3, 2013 | Spring

Bear and Poppit Go To Moonbi Lookout, New South Wales
by Krista | Oct 31, 2013 | Spring
As Bear and I packed up to continue our New South Wales road trip, we headed up into the hills leaving the smoky valley behind us. I rifled through our collection of audio books, pulled out a new Phryne Fisher mystery and popped it in. Then we settled in for the ride...

by Krista | Oct 29, 2013 | Spring
This past weekend Bear and I got went on an adventure - a madcap 2000 km road trip from Queensland to New South Wales and back again to pick up Bear's car, Duc. We had fully intended to do the wickedly long trip in one straight shot, but after 22 hours of driving,...
