I have changed my blog setup so anyone can leave comments! So- comment away because I definitely read them and it's good to know that someone out there reads this.

I also wanted to let everyone know that if you ever want to go back in time, just come on over for a vist and I'll take you to the ski fields- where the access roads are scarier than the skiing and the lifts are old school! I am talkin' Pomas, T-Bars and Nut Crackers!

Here are some pics I took around town the other day on a bike ride:

Hey there, just checking in. It's finally spring, again this year!

I enjoyed chatting with all of the Kenistons last weekend when I called the Camp (Songo Pond in Maine). Sounds like they have had "wicked" hot summer.

I thought I would fill you in on some of our projects, Darrel is making us some beside cabinets that just fit together without nails or screws. They are made out of the plywood box that our stuff was shipped over to NZ in.

Some of the plywood is pretty crappy so this picture is just a prototype out of the worst stuff, he is working on the final version right now, I can hear the jig saw wirring away in the backyard right now.




Here I am with my knitting project! It's a shawl thing, with arms, I will hold you in suspense as to the full design until it's
finsished. Not much time to knit these days! Without a TV, I just don't pick up my knitting as much. I have also been starting veggie seeds, which reminds me, I need to bring them in for the night! So far I have started: onions, peas, silver beet (chard for the americans out there), lettuces and parsley.








This is the Avon River, it runs right through the City, one of many urban streams. Its not uncommon to see rowers and kayakers and even canal boats, complete with the pole for pushing! There is a bike path that follows the river all the way to the sea, we can jump on at the end of our road.
