mornings

I got up semi early to go to the markets this morning and I paused in the garden on the way out.

All my flowers look particularly good in the morning when it has not yet gotten too hot.

I can see the effect of my plantings last year.

I put lots of blue flowers and white flowers and purple flowers together in the front parts of the garden along the front fence.

And the big garden in front of the pond has a mixture of colours like pinks, oranges, reds, yellows and the occasional white flower too.

I think it is looking really nice.

Not too haphazard. And of course it has just rained this last week so everything is pretty healthy.

Yesterday I was sneezing and had a runny nose and watery eyes. I am feeling much better today after a sleep, but am not sure if I have a cold or if it was a really bad case of allergies.

The fact that I had been vacuuming 10 years worth of dust off the wardrobe the day before probably did not help ... nor did me going through my cupboards trying to find things I can get rid of to make space upstairs.

Hmmmmmmm

There is a raffle on at the school and they want parents to donate prizes ... I have dusted off things that I have been given and never used ... or barely used ... even somthing I rescued from my sister's clean up ... and then never ended up using myself.

Less and less of my clothes are fitting now and I am in a quandry as to whether to keep them for the one and a half years to two years it will take me to fit into them again, or just make space by getting rid of them.

A lot of my stuff I have repaired and repaired, only to have it rip or otherwise need more attention.

Perhaps I should just get rid of it now, make space and deal with not having any pre pregnancy clothes in the future when it will become an issue again.

I seem to remember there was quite a long period after Kt's birth where I seemed to have hassles finding things that fit me properly ... perhaps I will opt for lots of elastic and drawstring waists until I am back to a predictable size again.
