Our property is right in the middle of this photo. Look for the trimmed shelter trees. One kiwifruit block can be seen from here. Mt Maunganui on the horizon.
The lookout in the Quarry Park.
Here is the completely stuffed and sewn up ball # 18 ready to be embroidered. I have started that yesterday. I will show progress as I go.
I picked these as they were blocking a path (the heads are so heavy they lean forward )They are sitting happily on the fire as we are not needing that at the moment! Now look closer aren't they beautiful!

Leanne this is specially for you. Basil !
This morning R made the first batch of Pesto for the season from some of these plants. I helped pick off the leaves but he did the rest. We freeze it. ( Recipe = basil, parmesan cheese, garlic, walnuts and a little oil )
It made this much.
Yum!We are having visitors for dinner tonight so I better get onto some jobs. Still no rain!
( Very sorry you are having no luck with your tomatoes Meg. )

Beautiful blue hydrangeas!
What an absolutely stunning blue of your hydrangeas Ali. Gorgeous. Are you drying them or just sitting them in water?
