Wow, this has been the longest I’ve been away from the blog for some time now. Thanks for all your sweet messages and well wishes. Rick is doing really well, and all three boys seem to have bounced back to their usual selves. Unfortunately, it’s been a slower recovery than I anticipated for myself. It’s made me realise how important my health is, and how I seriously need to start taking better care of myself. No more slacking off with exercise. No more late nights. No more excuses.
I bought these beautiful flowers over the weekend in an attempt to bring back a bit of colour into my life. Angus and Pete were with me when I chose them, and they both took turns carrying them for me afterwards as we walked to the car. It was so sweet. They’re called cabbage flowers, and I reckon they’re the most gorgeous flowers I’ve seen in a while. You can surely expect to see a bit more of them around here this week.
I hope you are all well and staying away from the flu! Looking forward to posting regularly again and catching up on all your wonderful blogs.
More flora here.

Glad to see that you’re back and the family is well. Ronnie you do need to take good care of yourself. It’s tough balancing everything but health is pretty darn important. :)
I know, I need to keep telling myself that…

Wow, they are gorgeous! Like nothing I’ve seen before. Are they native to Australia, or…?
I honestly have no idea Charlotte – but if I had to guess, I don’t think they are…

They are really gorgeous and such beautiful colours! Love the photos especially the first one!
I really need to get back into doing exercise too but it’s so hard to find the motivation when it’s so chilly…alI I want to do is sit on the couch, under a blanket and drink lots of warm tea!
So glad you guys are feeling better… we have managed to stay away from the flu -knock on wood! :)
Sitting on the couch is definitely my specialty…. :)

Glad to hear you are all on the mend. And yes, you definitely need to take care of yourself. I think as mothers we tend to put everyone elses needs before our own. But it is important to remember that unless we look after ourselves then we can’t possibly look after those we love.
Beautiful flowers. I had always wondered what they were called. x
Those flowers are lovely!
Ugh, the flu can be horrible! I remember the last time I had it, it hung around for weeks! Even after I felt better I still had a disgusting sounding cough. Hope you’re all getting lots of rest and are on the way to a full recovery!
I know, that mucus is just terrible. I’ll be glad when I’m rid of it!

Flowers always bring a little more light in your life don’t they. These are gorgeous and the way you have taken photos of them have brought out their beauty even more!
OMG the cabbage flowers are stunning! So beautiful!
Hope you’re feeling better now dear! Rest up and get 100% better soon! xx

Thanks Yvette, that’s so sweet.

We joined your flu club this weekend… :) But luckily is was a mild one and we’re almost as good now.
Those flowers are magnificent! Don’t think I ever saw cabbage flowers!
Hope you have some sun at your end and that you all are healthy and happy! xx
Wow, those flowers are stunning! I’m glad that you guys are finding your groove again. It takes a while, doesn’t it? Welcome back:)
I saw some at Bunnings on the weekend – they were selling them as decorative pot plants. Who would have thought boring old cabbage could be so pretty??!
Thanks for the heads up – I didn’t realise Bunnings sold them potted. :)
Thanks for stopping by too.
