cornucopia ... or stuff

 as I was out walking this morning, I composed this post in my head, and believe me it sounded a whole lot better then, I had lots of good stuff to say, but now that I am back home and at my lappie, it has all disappeared, I even had a really good title, but that has gone too,

It is rather hard to write knowing what our friends are going thru in Christchurch,  but there has to be a cheerful and positive side to all that as well, and certainly there seems to be a very good positive community spirit,

so I am just going to write about stuff ~ and I was going to include a dictionary definition for "stuff" but when I looked it up, the whole blurb was just way too long, and it was all going to be far too boring soI decided against it .... and here instead is my "stuff"

the beautiful red sky that greeted me this morning

The toadstools growing by the river, a product of hot and wet weather
The wide open spaces where I live, the tall mountain ranges and the wide valleys...

The Majestic beauty of Mt Cook on my back door
what I have just taken off my quilty thingee
what I am currently stitching...







and my gorgeous man in the garden... a sight that I don't see too often, but I am very grateful when I do

it is all just "stuff"..... enjoy yours!

Loved your "stuff"...I often compose blog posts while I am walking/driving...and then find I have forgotten them when I get round to sitting down to write.....I am about to put a quilt on the "doover"....and found my pack of Life is Beautiful the other day...stil in the package it came in the post in! I have to get started on the SAL as well.....just as well I am on holidays at the moment! I just need to focus on one thing at a time! :)

I can write fantastic posts when I'm away from the puter, but like you, it's all gone when I sit down to do it for real.

What a beautiful part of N.Z. to live in. As you may have gathered I come from the lower end of that beautiful valley. I am very fond of Twizel having spent many holidays there and also worked there. Best wishes for your business.
