Hot Carob

 The kinder weather today allowed us to make ourselves a hot carob drink. 

The Receipt

2 cups of plant based milk

2 tabs of carob powder

2 tabs of maple syrup

1/2 tab of vanilla paste

1/4 teas cinnamon powder

Heat all and froth with a hand held blender.

Serves 2. 

37 C top for Melbourne today so confined indoors most of the time. 

The fan is buzzing away near me, as I type. 

My hand made patchwork curtains, that I recently dyed Peaceful Green,  are living up to their namesake colour on this quiet, but hot day.

 Tis the season for picking raspberries, boysenberries and strawberries from the garden. They make the

 perfect topping for a Vegan Cashew Cheesecake. On a hot 36 degree day this chilled cake was most

 welcome. 

Progressing from small juveniles just two years ago, into 3 metre high paperbark trees, the two 

 Melaleuca Linariifolia species in our backyard. are now flowering profusely.  

A sight to behold.

Towering cumulus viewed through my bedroom window upon awakening.

Carried away by the visions seen in my glass float in front of me. 

 

 

 Sitting on the kitchen window sill, a native Chocolate Lily in a little glass bottle this morning. 

 An affordable find recently.  Hope to use this thread in future in my lace knitting projects. 

                                        Finalising uni assessments calls for a celebration treat.

A Whistling Kite and Shrike Thrush,-just two of the many birds species we encountered on the foreshores

 of Yaringa Marine Conservation Reserve.

 

Beautiful window views

Had to capture today while the flowers are in bloom.
