As the mercury drops, then freezes, back in Minnesota, stints of mild summery weather begin to outnumber the periods of bluster rolling off the Tasman Sea. After a period of relative silence, we've also begun to see comments from a few of you back home. Perhaps it's the season, perhaps the weather-- and longing to be far away in warmer places (believe me, we understand!). Whatever the case, we welcome any and all comments, and read them all avidly and with great fondness.
Pictured above, the pohutukawa tree is New Zealand's "Christmas Tree", as its showy red flowers appear in early December. The tree itself is hardy, medicinal and low maintenance. What's not to like.
With this entry, we would like to wish all of our dear friends and family Happy Holidays. It is our great blessing to have you in our lives, and we look forward to sitting with you in warm places (indoors or out) to share good stories and good times.
much love,
K&R

Doug and I send you best wishes "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year". What a beautiful photo, such a stately tree. Viewing it raises a strong desire to have a picnic lunch at that table! Back here we shovel the deck on a regular basis to get at the grill.
