Spring rains

Three inches of rain in two days [78points for the young] what a magnificent effort ,and couldn't have come at a better time ,but it does point out where your weak plumbing points are !!! gorgeous day today ,rather like a sauna ,but with birdsong and aromas ,nothing like a spring shower to bring out the smells ,particularly the balsam poplars .

Let's sing again ! Tulips from Cambrian.

Unfortunately the folks around Tauranga won't be feeling like singing ,my heart goes out to them .I can only hope that it raises our awareness of the dangers .
The spring has well and truly sprung ,now I need some WWOOFers to help me get all the daffodils out from amongst the bluebells .Anyone local that wants to visit can be assured of a cuppa [at the very least]. The smells of the spring flowers and trees is amazing ,especially the balsam poplars .
On a completely different note ,Cam tells me today that he has handed in his final thesis,the end of four yrs hard work ,I'm obviously very thrilled for him .

DEFINITELY spring now .

"Evening" Well no snow this week ,but lots of daffodils .Rae went back to Wgtn this afternoon ,but we surely had a lovely 10 days.Always good to have family visit . A few bluebells are poking through ,but lots of pretty little fritalarias have popped up .
Next w/e would be about right to catch the bluebells [as long as it doesn't snow]
