Nearly all the colours have gone...


All the trees are nearly bare here and very few leaves are visible. Time to get out the winter jerseys and extra blankets, last week I bought a lovely fluffy nana cardy - by nana cardy I mean one of those items of clothing that you can laze around in or wear anywhere that keeps you warm.

We're still trying to get somewhere with our possible move up north but every step we take seems to take a long time. We're considering whether it's something that's even meant to be or not. We will see...

Oh how I love my Nana cardies, wouldn't be seen outside in them but so snuggly 😀 Moving home is so unsettling Amy, maybe the universe is sending messages to say it's not time yet ✨

It is a beautiful time of year but it is short lived.

I always wonder what flat earthers say when the southern hemisphere gets colder in June and July. Refreshing to me, given how hot it is here.

Will those trees whose trunks are submerge will not die? If they are not used to that condition, then those color change might mean they are already dying.

no, as far as I know they do this every year, they must be use to being in the water.

The wind whipped up today and stripped the remaining leaves off of my fruit trees. The constant rain is making everything cold. Winter IS here.

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
