morning ladies 
Another pea souper this morning but the sun is trying to get through.
Yummmm strudel
We haven't had that for years.
Today I'm taking our friend for his regular monthly Waikato hosp appointment and then on to Tokoroa so he can spend Easter with other family members. Fingers crossed the fog lifts soon.
The triffods are slowly getting under control, I can't believe how much the garden exploded over the last week. I've moved a rose which meant a very early pruning for it. Hopefully this will be the last move this rose has, it has been moved four times now. But it does free up the back fence for the climbing roses I plan to plant along there.
Yesterday I was on FB and spotted a post from a Hawkes Bay resident posting in the rose group I belong too. She went back to her red stickered home after a month of being away and two of her roses were blooming the best they had ever been. She jokingly posted to get good end of season roses you need a cylcone, tons of silt washed on top of them and the neighbours onion paddock spilling the onions onto their property. It was hard to believe, two masses of cheerful bright yellow and pink flowers in all the grey of the silt. Just shows how tough roses are.
The Fluffy One is here and very pleased to be able to run on grass. My sister lives in a retirement village where grass is limited. The Furry One seems to know she can't run and play as much now and lets her do her own thing.
Better get cracking. I'll get some housework done this morning before I leave for Hamilton. That will free my day up tomorrow to get back into the garden. There's only a bit to do and then I can leave it until everything dies down properly.
Happy crafting
