Spring

Spring is here. Some of the flowers in my garden

Mt Taranaki

What a glorious few days we have just had - it really feels as if summer is just around the corner. However it is meant to turn to rain again in a couple of days. These photos of our fabulous mountain were taken over the last couple of days. The first was taken from Mokau which is one hours drive north of New Plymouth where we live. We have a bach (holiday home) in this beautiful spot. The second photo was taken on the way home from Mokau.

Work, holidays and giveaways

Great I have a late start for work today as I haven,t had a 9 hour break over last couple of days. Means I will work 6 hours and get paid for 8.

Love this photo from a place called Clearwater in Canada.

Also check out the following blog which has some great giveaways at present.

Home fron our vacation

Squirrel at Jasper National Park in Canada

We have just returned from a 5 week holiday to Canada, Alaska and Hawaii. The holiday was fanastic. he weather since we returned to New Zealand has been wet, cold and windy for the last two days. Ready to go back to the sun of Hawaii. This is just one of the many photos we took while away.

MY FAVOURITE QUILT

This is a quilt I recently finished for my granddaughter Tyla. I have decided to enter it in Amy's online competition. I am making a similar quilt for her younger sister Ella.

At present I am just dabbling in patchwork when I have time.

Now to try and enter the competition as I am also a novice to blogging. However hopefully practice makes perfect.

FABULOUS SUNSET

Thought it was about time I attempted to get started on this blogging lark. Have had my blog setup for over a month now and haven't posted anything.

Here is a photo of a stunning sunset from two nights ago. It was a stormy autumn evening with near gale force winds. Luckily the winds only lasted for about 24 hours and we are back to calm weather again.
