‎"Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn."

This is our first spring in this new house.We bought the house brand new direct from the builder in winter 09. As such we don't have existing plants to inherit. My husband had a clean canvas to work on.He had a field time buying the types of plants he fancy and fruits and vegetables that the family likes!!.Plants that was planted last year begin to display their first blooms this spring. Thanks to my hubby who did all the planting and the pruning!!!. We also have an amazing vegetable plot at the back of the house. Not forgetting fruit trees like berries, plums,apples, pears and grapes.....well we will see the fruits 2-3 years time. Meanwhile we have the flowers and the organic vegetables. I had a wonderful time recording the works of god, Enjoy!

Canterbury Quake 040910 time 4.36am

I have not been seriously blogging for about a year.Today I have an urge to share a short message about my experience of an earth quake.
Two days after and reflecting back I could not believe that I live to experience the country's most damaging earth quake 7.1 magnitude with no lost of life.
A miracle in Christchurch..truly is! No casualties. Haiti quake with magnitude 7 recorded about 230,000 people dead!
My husband was thrown off the bed and started to wake me up screaming earth quake....I replied "Are you sure"? The whole house was shaking I stood up quickly,it was dark,I found my footing and ran into my son's room, woke him up ,took some blankets and ran out of the house together!.
The humming noise was horrendous. The house shock violently..felt like a train running into your house - it was really intense!.
After standing out in the cold for about an hour with our neighbours we decided to get back to the house.
I expected to see the whole house in chaos ..to my amazement not a single painting or pictures drop off from the wall. All the cutlery, glasses or bottles in my pantry were not moved at all. I only had two broken vases located at the entrance. Some of my son's model plane fell off the shelf. The mirror on my laundry room wall and the TV in the lounge fell off from the wall and were not broken.Everything else in the house were untouched!.

Believed it or not there must have been a supernatural hand or an angel holding on to my house.A miracle!
I thank god for we are all good!
Note:- On Friday a day before the earth quake I noticed lots of earth worms surfacing in my garden and in front of the walk way.It was unusual! On the hind sight obviously the earth worms knew!.
