Need lots of socks...


We've passed the shortest day of the year and now we're nearly a third of the way through Winter. I don't think it's been as cold as it was last year at this time but I do need to buy some new ultra fluffy socks as the ones I have are a bit too thin.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

Lovely mixture of sun and clouds. The days are exactly the opposite here. We just past our longest day. ☀

A beautiful image Amy, I like it. Good luck in finding some good socks. I'm lucky, my wife makes all our socks.

I love the silhouetted tree against the beautiful sky w/ sun and clouds... very nice! Stay warm.... we are having 90 degrees for a garage sale next week (think hot, humid, sticky)... I am going to be thankful though, that it isn't winter!!! :)

It sure was cold in the Wairarapa, Amy. Much better here, of course. But I still feel the cold. I have warm socks on my shopping list, today, too!

I don't envy you, Summer is not one of my favourite season, I much prefer Spring or Autumn.

Beautiful sky!!! And good socks are the key to getting through cold weather in my opinion (especially cold damp weather like what we used to have here in Oregon, when we lived here all year).

It is beautiful. You have, though, reminded me that from now on my almost 24 hours of daylight is now drawing towards the long, long nights of winter (and we haven't really got summer into full swing yet).

Warmer socks do help get through the winter months. I also prefer a warm pair of gloves. If my feet or hands get cold, I'm done. Love the sky shot posted. We are having a very cold and rainy summer so far. Hoping it will change for the 4th of July celebration.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
