Autumn skies and bulbs

Autumn skies are just about daily here. Looking out over my backyard I'm always happy I bought this property. The section is larger than the average property has and we see some very cool colours from the lounge window. Easter came and went here, people buying and buying chocolate eggs up large. I thought I'd splurge for once and bought myself a Baileys Salted Caramel Chocolate egg which I got stuck into on my day off but it wasn't as nice as I expected. Don't think I will bother next year.



I have been however planting quite a few bulbs for Spring. And in my vege garden I have planted a few pumpkin seeds, one which has sprouted already with flowers on it. I probably put it in the ground a bit late but I'd like to see what happens.

At least you don't have squirrels digging up your spring bulbs and making meals out of them. We hope you get a great display for your efforts. xxx Mr T (who hates squirrels too)

Put the bulbs in. It'll be worth it later. I've got my pumpkin seeds ready to be put in. I hope we get pumpkins this year. Well, squash actually

I love that you are planting bulbs for spring, while here we are enjoying the flowers from bulbs planted last year.

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 ...
