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.
You live in a gorgeous place!

ReplyDeleteSuch 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat neat photos... you are so lucky to be living by a beach!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Sue ... I think you bought that pukeko from my Cottage. Your garden is looking pretty ... some lovely flowers. Your birdbath is rather gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my wander with you. Glad the local kids are on to the importance of hollows! Some lovely treasures in your garden. I too love my bits from friends....makes your garden more special I think. Gee your poppies look beautiful xx
ReplyDeletelovely walk around the area today..... your poppy blocks are so striking. Yes, applique does take time.. but it looks good when done...

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.
