Beutiful winter solstice morning from broken creek (Baala), right outside our flower farm.

Why is this important to us as open feild growers , the shortest day the slowness the catching of our breath, because in a few weeks from mid july onwards everything will start to move , birds will start nest building, ants will start emerging and the seeds will start germing and the non native perenials trees and shrubs all start to wake up. The natives hit their stride and flower like there is no tomorrow.

So tonight will enjoy a nice bonfire a a hearty winter meal followed by soul warming drinks.
