Late spring -early summer

Evening all ....as always I'm sorry that these posts are so infrequent ,but during the day I just want to be outside ,and during the night I've exhausted my little brain !!! However the spring has been just fantastic ,It's more than two months since the snowdrops were flowering and now the bluebells are just finishing .We still have the "may" or hawthorn in full flower and I see that the lupins are about to start ,but they are really summer flowers .The trees were magnificent until last Sat. week when we had 2 inches of snow !! and a couple of hard frosts to follow which burnt off the new leaves and will take a couple of weeks to recoup.All par for the course in this little corner of the world .The duck hatched out 13 ducklings ,12 of which are left ,and the chook has a couple of cute little chickens ,hopefully we will get a few more before the summer is over .
    On the family scene  Cam is home for a few weeks ,Manu has just opened a new little studio in Port Chalmers ,Eulalia and Cass are still best friends ,and I am just enjoying all of them !!! 
                Big hugs to you all ....give a few away !!!.....Bob 

 PS ;I can't download any photos ! bloody technology  ! so I will publish this so that you know that I am still alive ,and get my resident expert to help me tomorrow ...Cheers
