- I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to complete one today as this is the sight that greeted me at 5am this morning.....
Yes, I started prepping last night but then got tired and went to bed without completing the process and /or tidying up!!
But I'm back on track!!
Today's flower makes 30!! |
As it's the first official day of spring here in New Zealand, and it's a beautiful day, I thought I'd take my camera with me while I did some of my farm jobs this morning.....
There aren't many blossom trees flowering just yet but the Magnolia is looking nice...imagine it in 10 years time when its twice as big and covered in flowers.
Wish there was a blogging gadget for sharing the scent!! |
Then I 'took time to smell the roses' ..... wondering what would happen if I laid down on the grass for a little while....
I am grateful that I had time to 'smell the roses' today. It's so good for the soul and something we should all try to do regularly. |
Hexies are looking good Raewyn. Isn't it great thats its Sept 1st
ReplyDeletealways make time to smell the roses.
