In the good news aisle, granted a short aisle with limited stock, I picked up the keys to my new whare today. A new chapter begins

Is anyone able to decipher this signature for me? Lawrence I think then 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s a limited print, called Crossroads in probably pencil.

Oh my gosh #MWSecretSantaNZ this is the perfect gift now that I have got back into knitting. And the pin for @pepperraccoon.com is perfect. I was literally talking with a friend last night who said my new jacket needs a broach and here it is. So blessed

Looking down my street and there is Aoraki in all her splendour. And yes the clouds are weird. I didn’t even notice until I looked at the photo
Looking from the middle of the street towards Aoraki which is not shrouded in cloud. Part of the sky is clear and blue and the rest has a blanket of grey cloud

Teacher only day done and dusted. Lots of good conversations, new learning for all of us (I now know what a liturgy is) and some positive professional relationships forged. And lovely flowers for my desk

out the weed mat, dug out sour and compacted soil, added lime and compost. Total of 4 hours to get one sad hydrangea in the ground. I know it’s not the right time of year but if they’re not in before I head off for my next mission there’s a good chance they will be dead on my return.

I should know that any project I take on will have surprises that turn it into a freakin mish. Husband cut down the yukkas and I go to prep to plant hydrangeas between the stumps. All those rocks I pulled out from btwn the two stumps and then I find weedmat 🤦‍♀️ 1/2 hour job turns into 2 hours so far
