Sunset

Photo of a part of Greymouth near the Grey River taken around 8pm at night so not many people around.

It's been a funny week so far. I've been rearranging my vegetable garden to get it ready for Autumn. One end of it has more soil than the other so I've had to dig parts of it up to even it all out. I've had an abundance of spring onions coming up due to scraps we've thrown into the compost along with some Broccoflower and Purple Cabbage. I like to pass things along to other people sometimes so I gave a bag of mixed veges to a Maori lady that comes into my work. Finances are tight for everyone so hopefully it made a difference to her.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons, Shadow Shot Sunday and Tom's signs.

What a beautiful and peaceful sunset you’ve captured! The quiet of Greymouth near the Grey River in the evening sounds so serene. Your vegetable garden rearranging sounds like a productive task, and how wonderful that your spring onions, Broccoflower, and Purple Cabbage are flourishing! I love that you shared your abundance with someone in need; that’s a really thoughtful and generous act. The way you’re connecting with your community and the land is truly inspiring.

Hi, wishing you a great Wednesday: I just shared a new post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/

...each evening the sun sets, but in winter our overcast skies hide the beauty.

Good on you for passing on your surplus. I'm sure it was appreciated. We sometimes get gifts like that and are very grateful. And we pass on our surplus too, lemons or fish usually

Hi Amy! New Zealand is preparing for autumn, Europe for spring... but my contribution to #Allseasons is the first part of a review of February / March 2024, which we spent partly in Singapore and Australia, partly in New Zealand and the USA. We loved it in New Zealand! Very nice of you to share parts of your harvest with the Maori lady!
All the best from Austria, Traude

That's lovely, to share the bounty. We had the seeds of tomatoes in the compost start popping up everywhere. It's pretty funny....(and annoying) #Allseasons

We've been maintaining a vegetable garden since the pandemic and my siblings and their families have benefited from my garden.

Right place, right time, to get that beautiful streak of light (with traffic you never would have gotten it).

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 .
