Today found me babbling to the bees —
Talking to the Tractors —
Prepping a poodle —
Querying a Quiltshop —
(Sorry, I couldn't think of another Q word!)
 |
| (I prepped enough evening hand stitching to last the week.) |
What's more, we had neighbours raiding the orchard —
 |
| Feijoa time - yum |
And I had a lovely cyber-style catch-up with Mum and my siblings (we're dragging mum into the modern communication world!).
For today's walk I went over the road and up the hill, climbing further than usual —
 |
| Northland is looking so dry! |
 |
| Went as far as the beehives. |
 |
| The MOML was shifting the cows to a fresh paddock and silage. |
'til next time,
safe and happy stitches,
Talking to the Tractors —
Great photos today..you have a nice open place to take your walks...
ReplyDeleteWe look out of our window at the "Top of the Hill" here on our cul-de-sac and see: No traffic at all. Most days it is pretty sparse to begin with, but now it's non-existent...which is a good thing "During this time of corona virus"...
Stay safe --oh, I've always wondered: do you "Tell the bees" when things happen? I've read about that a lot (???)

you sure have a lot of hives. My brother the farmer who lives about 25 miles from me started some hives a couple years ago - this year I need to get some honey from him as he started to produce that last year and now knows what he is doing with it. I wish I had those hills to walk in - ours are too thick with trees and brush!
ReplyDeleteLove your post today especially the photo of the neighbors raiding the orchard...
ReplyDeleteOh the tractors look great with there tyres on....
Glad to see you are keeping your wonderful sense of humor. You are blessed to have so much beauty all around you. Stay safe & healthy.
ReplyDeleteI also 'talk' to things all the time--guess it is just 'part' of living alone for me--
ReplyDeleteat least that is my 'story' and I will stick to it!! and they say talking to 'things' is ok--but if they answer you it's time to 'see' someone--so don't tell anyone--but once in awhile one does tell me things--usually an answer to something I am looking for!!!!! or a new idea--have to watch those new ideas though--sometime they get me into trouble!!!!!!!
love all the photos and those 'thieves' in the orchard are 'cute' theieves at least!!
love, di
Sounds like a totally lovely day, including your little raiders.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely talk to things around the house😁😁😁 We even named a few of our plants growing in buckets. We're old so just talk to whatever we want.Billie
ReplyDeleteGreat projects!
The tractors are progressing so well!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Raewyn, I hope the bees were happy to have a chat!! I am enjoying your walks. The tractors look wonderful with their tyres and Foxley Village is coming along well. Love the photo of the feijoa tree raiders, brings back many happy memories.
ReplyDeleteLovely post to start the day.....loved seeing your busy bees. Very cute poachers in the orchard. Lovely sewing too. How I envy your walks xx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of your walk, and the fruit thieves! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour tractors are looking good.
Sounds like a good day.
ReplyDeletePirate has memories of evidence of calf moving 😄🚴 on the last day of the Northland Tour 2019...!!
Good to see the bees doing well.
A busy day for you, I love your tractors! Are the hives yours Raewyn? We had three feijoa trees at our other house years ago, everyone else in the family loves them but I don't.
ReplyDeleteThe tractors are looking great.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the bees. Is there enough around to keep them going?
Your alliteration is too funny. :) Another nice walk.
