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!!

That's very sad indeed. Such trees are treasures in the garden. I'm feeling with you.

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

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.
