Pages August 19, 2012 It's in the Air Here in the country, the days are getting warmer and the blue sky is always so beautiful. Living in this part of Australia means that our winter days are so pleasant, but our nights are cool. I can handle that! I sit on the verandah of our new house and the air is fresh and crisp and the mountains are so clear to look at.  Now we are coming to the end of winter, and there is this feeling that Spring is just around the corner. It's nice. The best thing about the warmer months ahead is that we will be in our new house, and we have so much to look forward to. I can't wait to entertain our friends on the deck, overlooking the pool as the kids swim and play. And for all of us to be able to enjoy our new home after a long and hard 4 years of owner building. Oh that pool looks so inviting!! I love living away from the coast in Winter (not quite country country but Canberra) with our clear Winter days & bursting sunlight, Winter is never wet & sludgy here, it's glorious. Sure it's below freezing almost every night & forsty in the morning, but if our chickens can lay eggs throughout Winter in those conditions (Ok they lay in the afternoons) i think i should have the can do Winter attitude in the cool too. I love cosying up
