Spring has sprung....
and with it has come a lot of wild weather. Gale force winds , hail storms, heavy rain, and some really lovely days in between.DH and I had the best possible of surprises last week. DD#2, who lives in Auckland , came down for five days ON HER OWN.....no husband, no children, nothing ! First time we have spent any decent time with her, uninterrupted, for far too long . It was lovely. She wasn't well when she first arrived but, after a couple of days of pampering, she bounced back to her usual self and we had a great time. Her husband organised it, so that was nice and the three teen agers cooperated nicely , which is what you would expect and hope for.. She looked and felt so much better for the rest and change of company . I hope that she will do it again. Young families do have to work hard these days, Full time jobs, homes to run, children to bring up. I wouldn't want to be walking in their shoes. DD had been anxious about her father , so needed to see him and also helped me sort some things out and get rid of "stuff" in the attic... When we drove her to the airport Christchurch was in the middle of a dramatic thunder and lightening display... The flights were delayed for half an hour but that was no problem .
The garden is looking pretty, lots of colour, the daffodils are beautiful but struggling to keep their heads up in the strong winds. The trees are greening up and, in no time at all, we will have forgotten the dreary winter and be looking forward to summer !
No quilting being done here these days. I started some Christmas wall hangings last January (for gifts this Christmas) thinking that I would finish them in September and, here we are in September already, so I had better look them out.
Have a good day.
