Spring in Kaikohe


While we were in level 4 lockdown alot of my non-urgent clients were paused but luckily I was able to keep working by travelling to Kaikohe for 2 weeks. There is a client out there who has a brain injury and sometimes my manager asks me to cover her usual carer so that's where I've been.  One morning I stopped to take a photo of one of the trees that was covered in pink blossoms. Spring is here.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

How fun for you to have spring approaching as the tree blossoms promise. We are headed for fall here in California.

I thought of you this morning when reading an article in the Northern Advocate about the wonderful murals in Kaikohe.

Your seasons seem to change a lot faster than ours. Nice blossoms on the tree.

Look how neat that all is - clipped grass, clean footpath, bright sign post. It's like a model countryside!

That reminds me that in a month or so I would have been in Napier and it's streets lined with blossom from all the jacaranda trees. I so miss that.

A pretty spring shot. I noticed the trees on our street are taking on just a hint of fall color.

Thanks for the reminder to just stop and appreciate the signs of spring. I've been letting the wet weather stop me and that's just silly.

I must admit I am not looking forward to winter this year. What with Covid still on the rise and flu just around the corner and the dark nights. Moaning over. You are right to stop and look around and take joy in what you see.

Greetings and Salutations! We are experiencing Fall leaves of many colors here. Glad Winter is ending there and Spring is happening. I am a caregiver to my husband. I am glad you are helping out. Lockdown! Yike. We are being asked to wear masks inside again in Illinois. In Wisconsin masks are not required at least in the rural areas not sure about big cities yet. Sigh.

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 .
