Fog/Simple Pleasures #2

 


Last year in November while we were in Auckland we were on our way to visit B's sister and her husband. We drove past Kawakawa Bay, which in Summer is usually a lovely beach but this particular day it was very foggy and rainy - no one goes to the beach on a day like this, except people like me who like to look for rocks and shells to collect but we didn't stop.

Simple pleasures for this week:

  • I am thankful that although with received Winter rain, we didn't get any flooding that the Nelson and Marlborough area got, some areas of Auckland even were hit by a tornado - pretty scary. Now again this weekend the Nelson area is under a heavy rain warning as is also the far north.
  • I finished a couch throw blanket for B and now I'm starting on one for my favourite aunty (my mum's twin sister who has always been like a 2nd mum to me) which is going to be granny squares sewn together at the end of different colours.
  • That B finished making a new house for the chickens after the old one blew over the neighbour's fence in a storm. The chickens greatly approve of their new house.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's signs.

It's always helpful to have the chickens' approval.

You have lots to be thankful for! Hope the rain is over

...fog adds a touch of magic if you aren't driving in it!

Glad you didn't get flooding - we are in the throws of that rain! Ugh! Very foggy indeed! #Allseasons

The low pressure system brought so much rain to NSW

Yay for the chickens and their new digs! I hope you don’t get any flooding. A tornado isn’t good. Stay safe.

I love fog, I often stopped the car to take pics.
Nice the chicken approve - just read about how social these animals can be,

Made me smile. Simple pleasure today was walking a very excited dog in light drizzle.
