Frost this morning
This morning was -2 in Upper Hutt. Frost everywhere and cold too.

Late afternoon at school.(about 4 o’clock pm)
Winter is upon us.
June started with downpours, strong winds and drop in temperature. Today was a holiday to celebrate the Queens birthday. It was a glorious morning, a bit chilly at first but later it turned out warm and sunny.
I also had a visit from the family on Sunday.
Bea and I played with some of my jewelry. The photos are not that good but it shows how Bea enjoyed picking up ever piece and move it from one place to another.
Silent Sunday: Those clouds!
Silent Sunday: Dusk a month ago.

To my young friends out there: Life can be great, but not when you can’t see it. So, open your eyes to life: to see it in the vivid colors that God gave us as a precious gift to His children, to enjoy life to the fullest, and to make it count. Say yes to your life.

It’s Write Easy – quick writing – DESCRIBE a garden.
During my It’s Write Easy session on Friday we had the following topic to write a “quick writing” paragraph.
DESCRIBE a garden
The following picture came to mind.
The vegy beds are empty and still grey. How dull!
Remember it is still cold and very wintry. Spring is just peeking around the corner I suppose.
The sun rises and some rays shine on the side of a tree painting it in gold.
Looking at the spring flowerbeds the daffodils are swaying in the breeze, their yellow heads held high to catch the sun beams. The yellow faces all in unison up to the light. The soft breeze also fills the air with a waft of sweet aroma.
So clean, and oh so delightful.
What do you think? Can you imagine the picture in your mind?
Wordless Wednesday: Winter rose
Snow on the hill tops.
I have been looking after a friend’s dogs for 10 days now.
Her husband had a stroke and is still in the stroke ward.
Today my friend got the good news and her husband was moved to rehab ward.
She may now take the dogs with her and visit her husband.
I took the following photos in town from my friend’s front pavement.
We had a good dust of snow last night and during the day too.
This was just after 3 pm when the sun shone on the hills.
Sorry for all the power lines!
