All looks lush and vibrant there, after the rains, Juliet, and a reminder to pay attention to how we use our resources. <br /><br />We had no snow for Christmas and unseasonably warm weather. A blast of cold air is moving through, but, this is an odd winter so far. While we are glad to have not had to deal with snow removal and boots, we are noticing changes this past year. That, though, brings to mind this new year, the first day here, going into the second in New Zealand, and all the possibilities in the days ahead.

I enjoyed reading about your uncle's pond, made out of what was on offer.

Scotland and the north = wet (very!) .. <br /><br />The plants look like they're enjoying life .. and that gurgle of sploshing water must do wonders .. <br /><br />My uncle's pond was fed by the roof water .. I mentioned it in the Dew Pond post .. but not in the last one .. utilise everything if possible!<br /><br />Enjoy the start of the New Year with your life-giving drenching .. Happy New Year .. cheers HilaryHilaryhttp://www.positiveletters.comnoreply@blogger.com
