Dear Lola and Maeve,

The doors were flung open first thing in the morning. We couldn't decide on t-shirts or long sleeve shirts. We spent time by the water getting our toes wet, all the while wishing we'd packed swimmers so we could dive right in. We ate every meal outside, basking in the sun. 
With a little over a month till Spring, we can already feel it in the air.  

We spent Saturday afternoon in the yard. Watering cans in hand, chasing chooks, before settling down by the chiminea. We roasted apples, ate cheese, watched Lola dance, and Maeve's brave attempts to climb every wall in sight, and steal a taste of our wine.

It was a peaceful weekend. A real taste of the warmer, sunshine soaked days to come.

Your mama
