Passionfruit Inspiration

You may wonder how passionfruits can be inspiring. (Apart from the fact they taste sooo yummy.)

I was checking our gutters around the house a while ago to make sure they were clear, preparing for the rain to fill our tanks. I thought our passionfruit had died a long time ago, however to my amazement and excitement I made a great discovery. On the ground was a single passionfruit. When I looked further I discovered that there were 2 more passionfruit hanging on the vine. Now normally this is not a 'big' thing to excite someone but on this particular day it inspired me.
These vines have had no attention for years, surrounded by weeds and gorse. The roots are strong and intertwined. They still grew. No matter what you are going through, the trials the hard times, you can grow through it and the outcome will be good. I looked at these passionfruit and knew if they could survive through all they had and still be strong, so could I. I couldn't resist the photo.
Hope it inspires you today.

  1. Arama just a heads up, first she is blogging all the time, then she is wanting to take photos of EVERYTHING. Then she starts ordering books on blogging , then the big one comes.... "honey look at the photography on that blog!That is made possible by a fantastic new camera".
    There so needs to be a blog for blogging widows. My poor husband has been through it. Fortunately for me, real life managed to keep it in perspective. Some of these blogs, if those women are doing all that stuff, they must be on prozac, with too much time & money on their hands!
    ps beautiful passionfruit by the way.

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden. 

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
