Sunset …

….. ….. ….. on Thursday evening.
Another lovely summer’s day; a tad on the hot side again. But where oh where is that forecast rain! We’re on restricted hand-held hosing now.
Everything is very dry, parched golden. The fire risk must be maximum.

We walked up the Arrow Gorge this morning while it was still cool. So fresh and lovely!
Missy was in her element. She’s definitely a happier wee dog when it’s cooler.

My daughter came around later this afternoon to let me know that a dear old friend, Don, from our Taranaki farming days has died. It’s like the beginning of the end of an era.
