Blossoms

 



These flowers are currently on my neighbour's plum tree but sadly this tree is due to be cut down and removed in November when he plans to put a new fence in, he does have a second plum tree elsewhere in his backyard too but it means we will no longer be able to pick up plums off the ground on our side of the property.

Aaaargh - you can't convince him to put a dog-leg in the fence then? Tell him the other plum tree won't fruit if it doesn't have this one as a pollinator.

That's sad. We had several plum trees years ago when we lived in the states and I loved picking the plums, so juicy and yummy. When we sold the house, the buyer cut them all down.

A pity the tree has to go, and your supply of plums. I hope at least he gives you plums from the other tree

I hate to see trees cut down for any reason -- love flowering trees that still bear yummy fruit. I'm slowly coming back to blogging by visiting some of my favorite bloggers -- one of these days I'll rejoin the group. Thank you for yours!!

I'm always sad to see trees cut down in the name of "progress". I guess I don't much like that sort of progress.
Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2025/08/on-recent-vacation-to-midwest-we.html

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 ...
