September? Mmm, really? Already? Okay, if you say so! So Spring is here, and the equinox is almost here, too. August was full of fun things like medical appointments and tests; and giving Mr P. lots of painkillers (on doctor's advice) to help his broken vertebra get better. The actual spine is doing well, and the bone is nearly healed. Yay!!
I am sitting at my study window, looking out at the jaboticaba tree which has one solitary fruit on it. Hilarious! Mr P. woke up very early again (and woke me), saying the birds were too loud! Also hilarious. And of course, at night, the possums jump onto our roof from the electricity line, and thump across to the backyard. They like to leave their calling card of poopy pellets too. Wildlife is fun here. The carpet python hasn't been around for a while, so I hope s/he is okay. They come down from the hill near us, and slither across the road. How they don't get run over, I don't know.

| I bought this delightful artwork from Gai at Meander Gallery |
Gai and her husband John (also an artist) opened their art gallery nearby a few months ago. And I can't resist frequent visits, and acquiring more of their gorgeous art! So here's the first curveball on this IMK post :=) And it's kitchen-centric, of course! I adore a bone-handled butter knife or two.
