Yep, spring is here

After my few scrapping purchases last weekend, I've actually managed half a layout. Yes, that's right, one week, and half a layout. Sad huh! Oh well, in another week, I might have completed the whole layout :-)

We all know Spring is here, but I had to get a few photos to record it, just because they are such typical Spring images.


My cousin's in laws live out in a suburb of Christchurch, called Halswell, and we shot out there today to eat scones and drink coffee (or water in my case lol), and to pick up some tree seedlings they were kindly giving us. While we were out there we took the dogs to Halswell Quarry for a run round. Last time Vicki and I were there, it was very quiet and a place we didn't think we'd visit too often. However this morning it was so busy and the dogs had an absolute blast. They are suitably tuckered out now - here's my Darcy girl trying to lap up some sun and drop off to sleep in her bed, but her blasted Mum has the camera out!


While we were there the topic of earthquakes came up - as it often does in this part of the country lol. Then a good aftershock hit. Now we want to know, if we talk about winning Lotto, will that happen too???? ;-)

Speaking of Lotto, the winning wheel ticket was brought in our little town of Rangiora. Wasn't us. Hope whomever spins that wheel next week, gets just a little bit more luck :-)

Have a great week my friends.
