The Day After Christmas

January 5, 2020 by NZ Filbruns 2 Comments

The day after Christmas we went across the road after supper, and played Kubb in the park until dark. It was fun to spend time together that way!

Some old equipment is in the park, and Mr. Imagination enjoyed playing on it.

We had some spectacular sunsets from the smoke blowing over from the Australian bush fires. Some days, so much comes over, though, that we can’t see the sun at all.25-IMG_291326-IMG_2915

    –I recognize that little sweater! How fun that you can use it again!

    –Also… you look ‘way too young to be … (2 years older than I am) and the mother of 9!

    –Mom just mentioned the fires– didn’t realize they could hide the sun from you. Wow!

      That’s the sweater our grandfather made for me on his knitting machine before he died, a couple of months before I was born. Yes, the fires can hide the sun. And here’s an interesting bit of trivia. We’re on the side of the island nearest Australia, but we haven’t smelled smoke. People we know on the other coast, farther from Australia, have smelled it. Obviously, the winds are blowing the smoke down around the bottom of the island and up the east coast, where it settles down. It’s still high here.
