Today was a lovely warm Winter day, for walking around the Mt. ( Mount Maunganui or Mauao ) with our young ones. Followed by a nice coffee and muffin at Blue.
Those paeonies aren't actually as cerise as they look in the picture - they're crimsoner. Still, I would like them even if they were! It surprised me that you particularly didn't like the colour. I wouldn't like a blouse that colour but am more tolerant about flowers - except orange. I don't like anything at all that's orange except oranges!
Quilting is a wonderful hobby for me. I love the beautiful fabric and colours - my artistic side comes alive.
I have lived in Te Puna near Tauranga
since 1978. Recently retired after 40 years working on our own small orchard where we grew Kiwifruit and Avocados for export. We have a large garden and grow many fruit, nuts, vegetables and flowers.Our new property runs down to an estuary.. When I was young I was a teacher and particularly liked teaching art. I have also worked in the Kiwifruit Industry in Quality Control and Auditing. I love to create and am currently passionate about patchwork and quilting. I sew by hand and using my Bernina Aurora 440 machine.

You call them shags too! Wonder how they came by that name? Lovely scenery in your part of the world!
Making me homesick <3
Gorgeous scenery....You are lucky to have such beautiful places to go walking.

If that’s a winter’s day I’ll have some of it.
