Photos...
Thank you to all who have posted the photos. Don't they make a difference to the page ? I just love the wild asters and golden rod...what a combination and what a lovely long view you have there Rosey... Laura, the butterflies are beautiful, what perfects shots you managed. Well done . Kathi, nice to share some of your holiday snaps. I'm pleased your enjoyed your time away.We are home again after a week in Auckland. We enjoyed seeing the family and DGD did well in The Nationals (cycling races) It was nice to be away from the shakes that we are still experiencing down here. Two very nasty after-shocks on Monday night. One over magnitude 5 . I was still up and it seemed worse than the original quake to me. No damage here but it was noisy and quite disturbing to watch the house swaying from side to side !!!
Our spring garden is looking fresh and pretty. Lots of colour . We appreciate the green lawns at this time of the year because some of them will dry off in the summer time and be the colour of cardboard. We are having sunny, warm days but it's nippy in the mornings, plenty of snow still on the alps, but hopefully the frosts are over.
I've been interested in the talk of money spent (or not) on education... Sport seems to reign supreme in this country too. We are hosting the Rugby World Cup next year and I can't begin to think how much money is going towards that when our education and health systems could well do with an injection of funds.. Don't even get me started on the Commonwealth Games being held in Delhi at the moment....(!)
Time for a coffee maybe !
Have a good day.
Marion.
