Started the day with the wholesome scent of vegan cheese wafting through the home. I attempted a new sourdough recipe with a somewhat artistic spin. Decorated with nasturtium flowers and leaves , chives and calendula petals, all of which I have growing in the potager. They are also scattered throughout the dough before baking.

 As it was a beautiful sunny morning , we later went for a walk around the neighborhood, taking the route through the remnant bushland behind the oval. Fossicked for leaf fall and came home with eucalyptus and  ti tree, various scented foliage as well as gumnuts and native flowers. I have temporarily displayed the collection in a bowl, but what I really would like is to find a glass apothecary jar with lid, add some essential oils and use as a potpourri-  the lid to be removed for a quick burst of fragrance.
