Joy is…Spring!

Spring has well and truly arrived, and Sharni and Johnny are getting less sleep.

Longer days and warmer temperatures mean more chances for Johnny to indulge in his new passion for surfing. He quite fancies himself the next Kelly Slater. In reality, it’s all he can do to keep his little head above water — and his surfboard in one piece. It’s rough out there for a little bean, but Sharni cheers him on — even when he wakes her at daft o’clock to check the conditions.

Though a little sleep deprived, Sharni has been marveling at the sound of birds outside her bedroom window, and on their recent road trip she even saw lambs! She likes spring. Soon new leaves will sprout on the frangipani tree in the garden, and she’s loved flinging open the windows to welcome the fresh spring breeze into their tiny home.

Actually, I should say super shiny clean tiny home. Johnny has outdone himself this year with the spring cleaning. He’s dusted the house to within an inch of its life — just in time to welcome back all the bugs that disappeared in winter. Where they go remains a mystery. Johnny suspects they migrate or hibernate during the cooler months. He might look it up… but first, he’s going for a surf.
