The Trip Home
It was a lovely day coming home from my break and I took these few photos from the bus window when we stopped at Paihia in the Bay of Islands.
When I got home the man who built our house (way back in 1973) had delivered me another load of firewood for the pot-belly stove (I had just bought a load for the wood burner). Doug who came and watered my garden for me while I was away also stacked the firewood. Lynn, my hairdresser gave me the lily head, the Amaryllis, which now has two flowers out, was a bargain pack I bought just before going away. The seedlings are nine bundles from Awapuni. In spite of the 28 degrees C today I have managed to plant half of them. I see 30 degrees forecast for Tuesday. Way too hot for me.

28* Degrees; we have a long way to go for those temps to be with us. However it was very mild here yesterday. I love seeing all your photos, it makes me warm despite our woodstove going full force here.
ReplyDeleteAs I enjoy your summer photos in our winter.
DeleteSusan, my friend is Ross, and he knows Leona, and Morris Foreman.( I think most of the residents know all the others..) Tokerau Beach is beautiful, and our short visit there a few years ago was way too short.lovley pics of Paihia. And stunning flowers. Cheers from Jean
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention Morris' name but, of course, that description could only be one person. Ross would also know Hoppy and Mary. We were in Lions together and I caught up with them in the Switzer Home.
DeleteBlue skies, wonderful sunshine and flowers - can you arrange to send some over here please?
ReplyDeleteWish I could!!!
DeleteSeems a waste to have all those logs in 30 C heat... you could always send some to me!
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember that you had more logs than that in even greater heat!!!!
DeleteThe views of the sea and the flowers look beautiful .... and all those logs - what a nice surprise to find them all stacked when you got home.
