Spring water in autumn

This is our new family car.

 For a few months now, we've been collecting water for drinking from a natural spring on Mt Donna Buang.  We go about once a month and collect 100 litres, which lasts us a whole month.

The water tastes amazing and now that we're used to it, ordinary tap water tastes like pool water! [chlorine]

There is an abundance of wild edible mushrooms on the property at the moment [this is not one of them!].  Pine mushrooms and some meadow mushrooms are delighting our taste buds...

A clear sunny day is a rarity - something to be savoured while it lasts.

 

Naturally, Nahlia loves being outside!  She goes with me whenever I go out for a walk.  She loves looking at the sky and breathing in the fresh air.

I'm loving our sling, which even allows me to do some gardening work while Nahlia has a nap on my back.

But we often take her out in the pram as well, as she can see more from in there, and we don't have to carry her weight this way.

We are loving being a family and Nahlia brings us joy every day.  We do struggle at times, mostly with her periods of crying and burping, which sometimes seem to never end.  But we are reminded every day that she is healthy and happy - her smiles are the best!  She is sleeping through the night and is growing well - she has grown 11cm in length since her birth!  Quite amazing really.
