morning ladies 
More rain. Need I say more.
When I drove to Whanganui a few weeks ago I called into Turangi to see our old home. Hasn't changed much at all, just a new garage where our play hut and vegie garden used to be. Am glad you were able to go, Popeye I wonder if sometimes it would pay not to tell MrP what your plans are and just do it. It could save the sulking and carrying on.
Today I'll get on with housework, but there is still aprox 15 wheelbarrow loads of mulch to move. It is too wet to tie the Furry One up outside while I work and he doesn't have a kennel. He doesn't mind being tied up if he can see us and MrK has rigged it so he can be through the gate to see me at the pile of mulch. But we don't like wet dogs lol so it will have to wait until the weather clears. Just hope the grass hasn't been killed off too much in the meantime.
The blueberry bush was planted by MrK while I was out and about yesterday and ended up in a big tub, not the flower garden. He was determined it was going by the fruit and veg and got in before me lol. At least it is in soil and can grow.
Spring is here, our magnolia is starting to colour up. It flowers after our nieghbour's one has finished so we get a lovely long season of magnolias. I suspect the previous owner of our home did that on purpose I need to dig up one of my hyacinths as my sister-in-law and I are swapping. Mine are all pink (started off with purple and white but lost them) and hers are white so are doing a colour swap. The tulips a friend bought for 10 cents a bulb from the Rotorua council are up and the beginning to flower. They are just starting to colour and I suspect they will be red. So the colour mystery is solved lol. I might buy a trough type of pot and replant them in that when they have finished.
Housework is calling and the washing machine has beeped. Time to get moving so the day is my own when done.
Happy crafting
