G sets a fire in the bedroom:
.... which provides Gus with a perfect opportunity to toast his little toes:
We let the heady scent of Wintersweet fill the room:
.... and bask in the soft morning light streaming through our bedroom windows, quaintly coloured at the top by the deco-patterned stained glass.
Later, we walk in the sunshine, admiring delicate, abundant eucalypt blossoms. These tangles of pollen and nectar are a feast for local wildlife as well as for the eyes ...
We start a hearty meal sizzling on the stove:
and we watch the clouds creep in, blushing as the evening descends.
Ahh, winter! You always bring a smile to my face!
Beautiful pictures! That fireplace looks so cosy. And Gus... He's my favorite! He has something of an Afghan hound look to him in this photo :-) (He is a pure bread cocker spaniel, right?)
ReplyDelete.... well, he's as silly as an Afghan hound, but pure-bred cocker as far as we know (we adopted him from another family who gave him away - advertised 'free to a good home').
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, your home looks gorgeous. And Gus is a real cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it Gus that gets all the good press!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you adopted Gus - we adopted our dog too. It's a great thing to be able to do. But who could part with Gus? Cutest of all cuties!?
ReplyDeletePS: Tell G he looks cute too, doing his Cinderella pose ;-)
