Went out to grab some wood this morning cause it was cold enough to need the fire lit & decided to grab some snaps to share with u all. (check out the fog)

yeah I hate spiders but I love the way spider webs look covered in dew.

Now got a little challenge for ya. The first person to guess what this pic is of will get a little something from me 🙂 I’ll take guesses up until Monday evening (9th June) when I’ll post the winner & what it is.

(If you didn’t guess it – it’s the flower bud of an Aloe Vera)

Ok enough for now. I’m off to scrap!

We’re a happy team at Hawthorn

Game on of the AFL NAB Cup against Sydney Swans & we won. By 2 points.

Wasn’t the best of games & neither team really deserved to win but wh well at least we won 😉 Good day was had by all. Seemed weird not being able to perve on barrack for Ben Dixon but he’s retired 🙁

Sharing some piccies. Sat in the Gunns Stand this time so a slightly different angle.

(didn’t take any during the game play cause I was too busy yelling at the umps & players hehe)

& two from the after match function.

With Simon Taylor (check those dimples – yummo)

& a piccy with Chance – just for my mum.

Have a great day!!

Australia Day Pics

Just thought I’d share some snaps from yesterday.  Had a BBQ to celebrate my birthday (which is tomorrow).

The sunsets in Hillwood are seriously gorgeous

A little froggie that visits mum & dad nearly every night (apologies for bad pic but it was taken inside, at night)

& my Aust Day temp tatt (thanks to my brother)

Hope all in Australia had a great day.
