Moments in my Week

Autumn has arrived

slowly and mildly this year

we're still in short sleeves and no added layers

and I've kicked off the extra blanket

we added a few weeks ago!

I visited the cafe in the park for an ice cream

after a long leisurely walk.

It was lovely to see so many families and large groups
taking advantage of the mild weather.
Lots of children riding bicycles and playing ball games
while their parents chatted with family members
and friends.

There is a large area with barbecues and wood provided,
with plenty of tables and seats although most groups
were sitting on rugs spread out on the grass.

Relaxation
is so necessary for shaking off the stresses
of daily life!

A walk along Milford Beach
is another way to unwind,
recharge the batteries
and just enjoy being part of this wonderful world!

~My last Dahlia~

Such a disappointing show this year.
Most flowers were chewed before they opened.

A naughty brown beetle was found to be the culprit!

I'm opposed to using nasty sprays in my garden.

Next year I will be more vigilant
and keep an eye on just who is nibbling plants

and remove them one by one if necessary!

My new coffee mug at work - it gets filled twice a day.
The added benefit are the inspirational words too.

I'm joining

Tanya for Willy Nilly Friday

Thank you ladies for hosting.

Take care and

be kind to one another
