You can never have enough...

morning ladies   It's a lovely cool overcast morning.  Perfect for fishing or gardening lol.

Yesterday was our friend's regular appointment at Waikato Hospital and we left there to go to Tokoroa for him to meet family who would take him back with them to stay for Easter.  Good grief, the traffic build up was horrendous and coupled with a 25 minute wait for roadworkers to let us through just before Tokoroa, it was a very long day.  It was so good to be home.

Today the plan is to keep plodding on in the garden and to keep taming the triffids.  I have some piles of weeds to go into the bins when emptied and have just about filled the compost bins MrK emptied the other day.  There are also the cabbage tree leaves and the like to be burned.  It's all part of autum and the lifecycle of the garden.  Our visiting monarch butterfly has laid more eggs.  I lost the caterpillars to the praying mantis and one clutch (?) of eggs disappeared.  There were snails on the swan plant, so I wonder if snails eat them as the eat the leaves.

I've started sewing the slips onto my embroidery.  I'll have to unpick the toadstool cap as I'm not happy with how it sits.  The 3D effect does look pretty good if I do say so myself  

happy Easter
