Photos only.....

OK... and a few captions...
One Flower Wednesday
A tui in a Pohutakawa Tree.
...click here to see more..
Excitement!
I've had 2 Pomegranate trees for years ...first fruit ever :-)
Delicious with yogurt and cereal for breakfast.
Autumn days are here again
Beautiful blue skies and  trees getting ready for winter
Farm recovering well after drought breaking rains.
Nice and green but not a lot of food value in the grass yet.
(PS it's still very watery, it usually takes about 3 weeks to 'harden up').
Loved the dark clouds on the horizon line - looked like another range of
trees or mountains!
A lovely gift from a lovely friend.
See you all another day!!
Happy sewing,

    Hmm, just came from Leeanne's blog. I think your dolls are twins separated at birth! : )

  9. Cute hexie!!! And the doll is adorable!!! The farm does look better!! When will the grass have feed value - or will it become dormant until next spring? How are the cows doing? Are you drying off the last ones? Keep me posted on the calving and rearing - we can relate!!

    Blessings

  11. Love the tui hexi Raewyn. What a great way to use kiwi prints. Can't wait to see what you do next. I have fruit on my pomegranate for the first time but they are far from ripe. Think the colder weather is going to halt the ripening process.

  14. Love your photos Raewyn. I have never tried pomegranates, either to eat or to grow. Love the hexie "flower". Looks like you have received a Megan dolly too :-) She is delightful.
    Yes we have greened up here too - thank goodness, sometimes felt like it was going to stay brown forever.
