scavenger hunt

Lost/found

 Lost...and not yet found.

I was getting ready to go out a couple of weeks ago  and was changing my ear rings. I always stand over the bed when taking them out so that if they drop I don't lose them. Haha. One of my good pearl studs fell and disappeared. We have searched, the floor, the bedding and shaken out the bath robe that was on the bed. Nada. A mystery. 

Prints

I received a lovely Christmas card this year from my 

granddaughter and her husband. Granddaughter is quite 

arty crafty so she made her cards this year - with help

 from young Arlo. He played in paint and we all received 

cards with his handprints and footprints on them :) 

Something to treasure.

Lunch

Every now and then I go to a daytime concert with one of my friends.  A light lunch is included in the cost of the tickets. It's usually a sandwich and a muffin with tea and coffee. I had to take something out to the car between the end of the concert and lunch this week and when I got back all that was left were the sandwiches in the picture.

Starts with M

 Breakfast doesn't start with M but Marmite does. Yum. Nothing better than tea with marmite on toast for breakfast - unless of 

course you're an Aussie and you'd probably prefer Vegemite :)

Ends with T

Windfall walnuts are sometimes on the path where I walk along the Silverstream. This is one of them. I know because I couldn't work out what they were when I first saw them so I picked one to bits - and ended up with beautifully stained fingers :) Walnut.

My choice

A lone sheep, a lost sheep or just left behind. 

On the bank of the Silverstream one evening.

Joining Hawthorn for her photo scavenger hunt on:

Well my intention was to join up with Hawthorn but I have been away for a few days and the link wasn't up before I left and it was finished when I arrived home. Never mind, you can still
have a look at what others have done if you follow the link above.

A stroll along the Silverstream

I went for a wander along the Silverstream today.

It was warm but with a bit of a breeze blowing at times and the fragrance coming from these lilies as I walked by was lovely.

I had decided to walk as far as the walnut tree about halfway along this section. It hangs over the path and I guess if you went along at the right time you might be able to pick up the windfalls. I've never been so lucky :)

As you can see it was quite a dull day and I actually had the path to myself - usually there are dogs and walkers or runners there. 
There are seats every so often, some donated by Rotary and others put out by home owners. The ones above look like they came from Carisbrook, the local football stadium, when it was pulled down.

I sat for a short while and just looked about and enjoyed the tranquility. Butterflies, bees  and birds flew past but 

I couldn't see any ducks in the stream, it was probably 

too early in the day for them.

On the opposite bank it was quite pastoral with sheep and

 cows in the paddocks. I didn't see any rabbits about but

 it was probably too early for them as well. We had a baby one in the front yard one day last week. I don't know where it 
came from and we haven't seen it since.

 

There were a few windfall walnuts but not worth gathering up. 

I'm not sure I'd know what to do with them in this green state anyway.

And for those of you who expressed an interest in seeing 

Alice's Christening gown up close here is a photo her 

Granma took of her on the tapa cloth mat.

And I will now finish and make my GKB a coffee, 

he's been out mowing the lawn so I think he deserves one :)

Until next time,

Diana
