Daisy Delight

Summer is finally here, which brings a sense of happiness and smiles to my face. A very dramatic season in terms of all the different moods it plays out. Tonight is another moody night with silent lighting on the horizon, I sit here on my 'zebra' stripped couch fittingly placed by my bedroom window as I stare into the nights abyss. I should be happy and fulfilled - but I am not... Something is picking at my door - inside I'm scared, hurt, angry and confused.

Tomorrow is a new day and with it brings the light that I seek on a daily basis. Something that fills me with life, together with all other living organisms out there that roam this beautiful place.

Lord bring into the light what is in the dark, protect me and let my light shine.

Catastrophe!

This cute little thing, is not all good looks - but the other night brought in the largest rat from the veld it could find! It was all blood, gore and guts over our lounge carpet! Thanks Mika! Cute little girl of mine...

Coffee?

The power had been out for several hours and now well into the morning. I needed my fix of caffeine. What better way than to brew fresh coffee on a cold winters morning in your fire! How innovative - I could think of nothing better!

Faith aka Mama

She had the Faith to come to the back door of the house on a stormy summers night with her two kittens, and Charles took them in with open arms. Now she has become the Mama of the house - always there for love and hugs, tears and laughter. She is my other 'Mama'. I love you!

Magical Autumn Boven

I love this funny, little, old, quaint, stylish house called home!

Milky Way

Its Easter Sunday, the holiest of calendar days. It is the most perfect night, a cool breeze, I stare into the milky way above me. I feel minute and at peace with everything - I could not want more or less this very second. I thank Him for my life and where I am right this moment.

Back door Boutique

Magical Boven - I love you!

Creepy-crawlies

A rain spider from the last of the summer rains lurks in the shadows of our ceiling fan, which probably is the cause of why I haven't slept well in the past 2 nights... Clearly the both of us are scared - for the coming dry winter months.

Mantis

The Koi-San consider Praying Mantis' to be a sign of good luck - so do I!

Autumn Sunsets

There is nothing I LOVE more than autumn sunsets. There is nothing else like them here on earth - Africa, I love you.

RIP Paddatjie

I found a dead frog locked in my western residence. How it got to the first floor of my room I have no idea. I though I would pay tribute to it considering a few days back I posted one of it's 'brothers' from the east in Boven. May you rest in peace Klein Paddatjie!

Braai

Daar's 'n lekker word en dit is BRAAI - no other word in the world can explain it; the smell, atmosphere, rituals, enjoyment that is shared around a 'lekker braai'.

Picture perfect 'Boven
