Missing New Zealand, but glorious NW Spring

Smell the Honey Suckle

Howick rainbow piercing the horizon

Am here in the beautiful NW in Southern Washington State.


The roses are blooming, the honey suckle calls me to breath deep, the strawberries are vibrant and blooming with a promise of a bumper crop, my neighbors are very supportive,  alas, I miss my husband and our quiet home on the water in Howick, NZ. 

But am looking forward to seeing our family up close and personal for the next few weeks.

Salmon Creek

An NZ friend sent pictures and my husband sent some as well from our Howick deck.  It is cold in NZ right now and I'm sauntering about in a tank top as I clip a few flowers and chat with friends on the block here in Washington State.

I've been hiking, early mornings along the Salmon Creek trail where the turtles are sunbathing on exposed rocks in the ponds as osprey circle overhead. I know how fortunate I am to have access to such beauty.

Rhodies are happy here!

All good, J
