Spring Cleaning


My youngest son mows our lawns so I snapped this last week of him when we had a brief glimpse of Spring sunshine. I hope this weather continues.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Our Mum always did the job. Crazy, huh. She was a tiny woman.

Spring is such a wonderful time of year with all the new growth. Good shot of spring lawn care. BTW, the words in my reflection say, Flavors Indian & Asian Fare (It's a restaurant and grocery shop).

The grass growth is crazy here at the moment. My lawn needed cutting again two days after it was done. I could do with having your son around.

Very nice documentary of everyday life. Strait against the Sun, not the easiest thing to photograph. But you did it very well. Nice to see son helping his mother. All though you probably have to pay him. :)

Greetings and Salutations! Treasured memories captured of son doing everyday things. This photograph reminded me of when John and I used a lawn mower without gas or electric. We actually pushed and pushed and pushed some more. Later, we bought a gas mower. Then later hired a landscaper. Our neighbors, still use a push mower.

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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
