HIGH

from:http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/lighthouse-family-lyrics/high-lyrics.html

The end of the day remember the way
We stayed so close till the end
We’ll remember it was me and you

‘Cause we are gonna be
(Forever, high forever)
Forever you and me
(Forever, you and me forever)
You will always keep it flying high
(Forever, high forever)
In the sky of love
(Forever, you and me forever)

Sunday post: Natural Resources

 

The following shows why it is important to leave some natural resources where they are.

I have taken many photos of the cherry tree blossoms.

The blossoms are a natural resource for bees

to make their honey. We use honey in many  different ways..

Bees use it to breed new bees.

Queen lays eggs, eggs become bees and

bees pollinate flowers.

Flowers become fruit.

We eat fruit to stay healthy.

Birds also eat fruit and visit flowers for

nectar.

Busy bee at work( could not get a focused shot at it

it was too busy gathering honey)

Wild plums.

Ready for the birds to eat.

Flax flowers.

Ready for the birds to drink their nectar and pollinate them.

The lake, regarded as one of New Zealand’s best rowing venues, hosted the World Rowing Championships in 1978 and the 1950 British Empire Games. The 2010 World Rowing Championships were held here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Karapiro

Hi, you out there! This morning I had my usual play with my Mummy.

Mum takes it from me and throws it in the air

Mum took some photos of me and I want to share them with all of you.

This is me, ready to start the contest.

WELL MADE craft market

Saturday November 24, 2012 I attended a new craft market in Upper Hutt.

It was worth it because I sold 3 throws and 1 cot quilt and also two bags.

Here is my table

I sold the following quilts

Dr Zues quilt

Rugby Quilt

Kiwiana Quilt

The last one I have only two squares

I have forgotten to take a photo because I finished it of the night  before  the market

That is it.

I am relaxing now for a day or two before starting the next project.

I’ll tell about the next project as soon as I have made some squares to show.
