Going Rural For The Day

 Yesterday I  along with 2 other friends and a furry one visited another friend for lunch out at her rural property.  It felt so wonderful to breathe in the space and country air. The views were beautiful! *WARNING * photo heavy!


My friend has some beautiful orchids....this one is a stunner!

This beauty is the Mother of my little Phalenopsis orchid....
Lots of pretty to admire! 
My friend has health complications so we hitched a ride around the property on her chariot! 

Our little friend Honey wanted to come too lol! Pleeeeease Vira?


Some pics of the beautiful and the quirky from our jaunt. You may be able to just pick up the flock  of Plumed Whistling ducks on the bank of the dam in the 3rd pic.






A little reminder to stay safe..
Loved the repurposing of this old building...

It was such a lovely day.......definitely a 'Diamond Day' all the more special in these weird times!
If you are still with me.....there is some sewing too!
Only 2 more Dresdens to do for Heartstrings. 
A trio of stitcheries finished for it also....

Applecores and little hearts bringing up the rear!


So I  think the Epistle is done lol!
Wishing you a lovely weekend. 
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx

  4. Nothing beats a drive in the country to cheer the spirits and get some fresh air. I enjoyed all the calming scenery and the fantastic orchids. A pretty old stove can look so appealing in that situation. Happy stitching too! xxx

  13. Your trip to the country looks wonderful. We had our retreat at Warwick last week for a week. It was amazing. We took a day and went to Toowoomba to see the magnificent gardens. So breath taking.
    Glad yo see you are keeping up with your stitching all so beautiful.

  18. I really like the chariot. The old stove is darling. Beautiful views and flowers. Nice quilt working. One complaint, the background on the words is quite dark, making it hard to read your lovely words. If you could lighten the background that would be wonderful. Thanks.
