You had some lovely pictures in your post and a good positive attitude. Good for you!Elderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-68533293961089860032012-05-23T11:47:03.331+12:002012-05-23T11:47:03.331+12:00Dearest Gathering Katie

I find the whole brussel sprout maths concept completely fascinating, and very Kaitiaki! <br />Sorry to hear the black dog may be paying you a visit. But you are right, as one door closes another one opens. it just takes a while till you spot the chink of light.<br />Meanwhile I suppose you just continue to gather.

Yes I sympathise with the menopause symptoms - it is a difficult time for us all and we all seem to react differently. I find my little bottle of rescue remedy a great help when the anxiety symptoms kick in and those black clouds come across. Do hope your homeopath can offer some relief for you. Have just picked brussell sprouts myself for tea tonight & also enjoying our persimmons but have to beat the birds to them. ADORE your egg poachers and also the Sanderson fabric - look forward to seeing what you create with it. Wishing you an anxiety free week dear heart.

I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with your health dearest. I will keep you in my prayers! I am so glad you have a lovely homeopath to work with and are keeping up with your nourishing traditions way of eating. You will come through this difficult time! The Lord is with your through it all. I pray He will bring your heart peace and your body healing and help you to deal with the anxiety and depression one day at a time. I am sorry your teeth are sore too! I hope your homeopath can help you with that and with everything that is going on. Do take good care of yourself and get plenty of rest. Your veggies look yummy. Wow, look at that brussel sprout! It looks like Kaitiaki has plenty to count! :) Yes, that is a very pretty idea. I love nicely wrapped packages. The fabric flower on top is just lovely! Love the colander. I, too, wonder why the handle is on the inside. Those persimmons look very good, bright and happy! I love pears too. Your guava tree is beautiful. I have never seen one before. The praying mantis is cute! I have never seen feijoa either! They look so good with the figs. I love figs! That is the neatest egg poacher and your dinner looks very delicious!I look forward to seeing the cushions you make with your vintage fabric sweetie. You have a very beautiful place to walk. I am glad you enjoyed the nice autumn weather. Yes, the little ones are very sweet saying their prayers. I am glad you found it dear heart. Thank you for sharing! The illustrations and writing are really a treasure! I hope you have a lovely week too! Much love to you! xo~PaulaPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955769851619781088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-26313535665946539342012-05-21T07:03:17.687+12:002012-05-21T07:03:17.687+12:00Hello dear friend, sorry to hear you are having a ...Hello dear friend, sorry to hear you are having a rough time of things at the moment, as someone who has also suffered similar problems I do feel for you and hope that you can rise above it all soon a much stronger person.

What a blessing! I love the things you share & how you write - it is beautiful! I'll be following through Google reader so I won't miss any posts.<br /><br />I'm in the western edge of the Ozark mtns in the middle of the US. The textured green fruit in the second pic look like what we call hedge apples here. We also call them osage orange. Who knows if they grow where you are, I'm not familiar with most of the other fruit you mention here. <br /><br />I hope your health improves but even if you aren't able to post often I'll be reading. :o)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-33692039217840480992012-05-21T05:59:38.299+12:002012-05-21T05:59:38.299+12:00I haven't had any fresh b. sprouts this year s...I haven't had any fresh b. sprouts this year so far, i love them too and like them soggy and overcooked the enlish school dinners way or stir fried with chestnuts and bacon the delia way!

I wish you really could visit- I'm going to put the kettle on after this and sip tea with a rug over my knees in the garden and say a little prayer for your health and strength and song. At least in your Autumn you could imagine blankets but this is supposed to be the height of our Spring!! RE the inside handle, I don't know, but I have often thought that such a thing would be a good thing when attempting to drain my heavy stock pot and remain un-scalded!magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-21801215139565809922012-05-21T00:14:10.163+12:002012-05-21T00:14:10.163+12:00Hello Gathering Katie!
