Spike, I'm sure they're there. They're just a little shy!
You have to coax them out.
What were the phrase from that old Kevin Costner movie? 'Build it and they will come'? Something like that.
Welcome to all our kiwi friends,

I had a mat, but the chipmunk who lives in our shrubbery decided to eat it. I don't know where the little beastie put all the mat; he must have welcomed some of his rodent friends over for the feast.

Rocky is HOME!!! thanks everyone. Melinda sent him home with goodies, so, this afternoon when the ice cleared I went into town Rocky was waiting and as usual he claimed to be starving. Melinda sent him home with goodies We opened the Hershey's gold bar and shared that right away. Rocky declared that a fine snack but he's looking for MORE so I'll use the pecans in his chocolate chip cookies and try to sneak the pistacios away for myself. Prizes are already enroute to Ruth , Debbie and Susan. Should arrive soon and I'm throwing one in for Melinda too. A special thanks for being a good sport through the delay and detour. Now I'm off to feed this hungry squirrel Thanks again ladies. As usual , with the flying squirrel, there are always surprises along the way

Thanks for checking in—I was traveling and am now back on track! Update: I purchased a colorful, beautifully embroidered Scalamandré fabric (pillows in progress) and also had pillows made with a calm blue, gray, and taupe Lee Jofa fabric. I put the Matouk pique coverlet on top to bottom, so it has a curved scallop up near the headboard. I may monogram the hemstitched part of the pillowcase, and/or get the pillowcases Mtnrd found. Ordered cordless sconces after getting a crazy quote to install 2 outlet boxes in the hurricane-proof wall. Chiseling a hurricane wall can't be the best idea, and I have high hopes for the cordless which should arrive soon. Thanks to @Jilly for the latest pic, reminding me about centering the sconces. I did that in the mockup below. I love the blue grass cloth mirror in the mockup, but don't love that it doesn't reflect anything interesting, and there will be another mirror over the bachelor chest. Toying with reproducing a watercolor of me and my small (at the time) daughters. But a bit too twee? Apologies in advance if this posts three times, having trouble with GW... will try to post the links and photos separately. ETA photos

In this part of the world, this is the day with the shortest daylight for the year. After this every day gains a little more light. Even with some cold months ahead, I consider us to be on the upswing, moving towards gardening season!

Thanks Spike - your a darling. Now we have somewhere we can swap plants and seeds without breaking any laws;>) Hope more of us flightless gardeners appear soon.

Kia Ora friends. This is exciting to have a kiwi forum. I have tried to make contact with Australian gardeners - but have found it a bit tricky. So glad we now have a place to meet, talk, and exchange etc. Gardening is such a passion for so many kiwis and now that the Ellerslie Flower Show is in full swing we are all motivated to get out and get planting. So many wonderful plants grow here - we are very fortunate. I am a gardener leaning towards the sub tropical look - and after coming home from a stint in Cairns,Qld, am so impressed with what grows there! Good luck and happy gardening folks. Kiwilad.

Thank You Spike and Happy Growing to the gardening New Zealanders. :)
After all, gardening is our 2nd most favourite thing after ... sport. So this site should be very, very useful for many of us.

Regards & Happy Christmas
