A sunny day in the garden

Another glorious day in the Hokianga.
I decided to spend the day doing a garden project.
My plan was to transplant some lilies into the garden bed in front of our living room deck.
I transplanted them from our upper orchard where they grew wild.
It was a lot of fun working physically hard, pulling stubborn weeds, digging holes and feeling for lily tubers.
Just walking with a wheel barrels full of plants up and down our hilly property was a good exercise by itself.
But I welcome the physical challenge. I believe that it is the best form of exercise there is.
Jules made me a mochachino when we had our rest and helped me clean up.
By the end of the day I had a great sense of accomplishment.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
