Heavy photo post today.....home

This morning the Supervisor and I went for a walk along the beach, these little fuzzy guys have sprung up from nowhere

It is kind of overcast today but warm

this plant is in flower in the park behind the beach

and these fruit are coming along

We have a new notice at the bottom of the steps from the local Primary School children

It is not easy to spot the bird and bat boxes but they  are up in the tree

Back home I was trying to fill the bird bath, the Supervisor had to do a check on  the water quality!!

another lovely pigface flower, this was a cutting Marg gave me from her garden, the best way to grow your garden I think. Plants from other people give lots of happy memories.

this plant is about to burst into flower

such beautiful flowers

the pansies are doing really well

happy in their teapot.

a little bit on NZ in the garden, no real pukekos here, but there are swamp hens down the road at the lagoon.


Such a wonderful time in the garden, before the summer heat comes.

Yesterday I made some poppy blocks for the Aussie Hero quilt

and this applique..I still have some letters and numbers to finish, the applique takes a while.
I had better go get some lunch and then get back to sewing
the supervisor is having a nap beside me and the snoring says he is well asleep!
Happy sitiching.

  4. Such a lovely stroll. Isn't it fantastic that school children are so involved and educated about nature. They could teach many adults a thing or two. LOve the flowers. I love your mosaic birdbath and have been searching for one to put in our front garden to no avail. More lovely stitching happening over there.

  6. I am so happy to see that kids from the primary school are putting up signs about the environment and nature - there may be hope for us yet! We put up a batbox this year but didn't get any takers. Sigh. We will move it in the spring and see if the change in location is the ticket. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

  10. Thanks for taking us with you on your walk Sue - lots of beautiful photos :-) Your garden is looking really lovely at the moment. I must start watering mine as it's getting dry. I love your poppy blocks - they'll be really effective in your quilt.
