It’s been so muddy we took the dogs to the dog park on our way to Mitre10. Mr. Brock continues to be obsessed with balls and Clary’s new trick is to try and steal the ball and run away with it if she can. They always have a lot of fun but got so muddy there they had to be dunked in the water trough to get cleaned off.

On the way home we saw some young pheasants in our neighbour’s place. At first we thought they were wekas.
Later some trees were delivered so we managed to plant, an apple, two pears and two quinces before it poured again. The orchard is looking good! Off to Kerikeri market this morning in search of plants!
