Life in Eureka is full of surprise here.. Each days passing and somethings little or big throws us. Today we are half way through winter season and in the garden there are many flowers blooming. It is only winter flowers which I love seeing and smelling throughout bare winter season. Imaging pictures of flowers blooming sooner or later, I better get to work on my garden projects here.
Learning more about my ancestors who lived here back to 1860’s. Hinton family was one of the first family got the land from Gordon family after the Maori War in Waikato. Gordon family subdivided the largest properties including Gordonton section into smaller section such as farming.
Farming, butchery, carpentering and labouring life has been in our bloods for many years and I was one of them. But I grew up in the city of Hamilton. Being deaf does not stop me from doing anything and I alway go out and do exploring, learning, problem solving and helping other people.
Today the weather is changeable – windy, cold and some small sunshine over Eureka. Our home is facing north where winds blows this way. Sunshine in the north facing, are brilliants and for our gardening. Over the last few weeks, Eureka received frosts. That goodness, my vegetable garden has been almost finish and paving for new vegetables in the coming of Spring. Mustard and other seeds had been planted in the gardens and it will be ready for turning over the old soils into fresh fertiliser soils. But not today or next week….
