dairy lands, regional city living & showering under long white clouds...

this is my street. i live right down that driveway and the home on old farm road where i live is tucked in off the street which is nice. though time and again i do love to sit on a stoop and watch the world go by...

these are the views from across the street. looking left, then looking right. rural regional new zealand city lands. hamilton, new zealand, the 4th largest city on this country of two big islands.

when asked about hamilton, people tend to love that it's near much. one coast, the tasman sea to the west, 40 minutes away. and the pacific ocean, about 90 minutes east. tea estates and farms with avocados and macadamia nuts are around this town. hamilton't farmer's market is full of yummy goodness, strawberries and blueberries galore, rocket (also known as arugula), fish and lamb of course...

hamilton is near everything and soon i hope to find out what it's near besides green fields of dairy cows, which i love too...

and the shower, yes this is the outdoor shower i tend to bathe in early morning. washing under blue skies and white marsh-mellow clouds. after all, this is the land of the long white cloud...

love and health to all..
