It has been a quiet weekend here – mostly because I never did anything!
I found this 2006 photo of Mama Sheep and her Triplets and thought it perfectly summed up the atmosphere of spring.
There was more rugby viewing over the weekend, including watching Tasman steal the Ranfurly Shield off Hawkes Bay in a very exciting game.
For the first time in 27 years, a new bridge has opened in the city across the Waikato River. It has been built to service a new large subdivision as well as deflect some of the through traffic off city roads.
The Council had this to say about the bridge: A span of 95-110m over the Waikato River / consists of four lanes (including two transit lanes) and separate pedestrian and bike paths / the bridge has no piers, with only a single Y-shaped pillar supporting a flat bridge deck / lighting and structural features to minimise any impact on the local population of native long-tailed bats.
The bridge has been under construction now for a couple of years and opened to public traffic last week. It is going to make our access to several parts of the city much easier.
Have a great day everyone.
Such good feelings when spring is in the air. Enjoy your days
ReplyDeleteThe bridge looks to be a great asset.. interesting to see that they have been considerate of the native bats in the design and lighting!
ReplyDeleteMittens certain does the 'adorable' pose beautifully :)
A very quiet weekend for me also - I slipped in town on Thursday and have ended up with a badly sprained ankle and a skin tear on one arm... I am getting used to life in a moonboot... and having to ask for rides to places.

Oh dear, Maxine, I am sorry to hear that. I hope it heals up super fast and doesn't hinder you too much. Hugz xx
DeleteGood to see the bridge has opened. It should make getting to Peacocke much easier.
ReplyDeleteThe cat looks so peaceful in sleep
ReplyDeleteLove the triplets! Lambs are so cute. The bridge sounds like it was needed and will be a help to people.
ReplyDeleteLove the triplets and mom. Spring for sure!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a relaxed cat :) Thanks for the reminder, I sometimes forget that when we are starting to come into Autumn you are coming into Spring.
ReplyDeleteMargaret- so good to see the Lambs and their Mother- certainly a picture complete for Spring. Still cold here at night - the days are warming up though. Best Wishes. KEV. (Sydney).
ReplyDeleteQuiet weekend are the best! Nice to have a bridge done to make travel easier!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful kitty. Sometimes you just have to lay down in the sunshine and just enjoy it
ReplyDeleteI've often seen twin lambs but I don't think I've seen triplets. Definitely a sign of Spring. 💛.
ReplyDeleteMittens is just perfdct. I do miss having a feline about.
