Opposite Ends of the Spectrum

Posted by Kara Buckner

YESTERDAY…
It was warm and sunny, so I took a scenic drive through the hills.
I passed sheep grazing peacefully in the countryside.
Saw the evening mist gently roll into the valley.
And almost flattened a few cyclists.

TODAY…
It was cold and rainy, so I stayed indoors.
I wandered through the Art Centre and Weekend Market.
Watched a local potter create a unique piece from scratch.
And had a coffee from Starbucks.

THIS MORNING… I went to Christchurch Cathedral.
THIS EVENING… I went to HELL.
One is a Christchurch church, which makes it redundant.
The other is a gourmet pizza place, which makes it sinfully good.

It’s fall in New Zealand.  And spring in the States.
It’s night here.  But it’s morning there.
And don’t even get me started on the driving thing again…

It might sound like I hate it.  But I love it.
I guess part of being Down Under is being Upside Down.
