Matariki-Matawai style

To celebrate Matariki we thought about growing food. Garlic is traditionally planted on the shortest day so that's what we did.

We read stories about Matariki and named the seven stars.

Frosty Start

Matawai- Where the hills are high and the frost is magnificent.

Frost!

All night the spiders wove.

With dewy vines hanging down 

from the tree their web sits in.

We calve handprints on the tops of tables.

Plus our fingers go numb because of the bleakness.

The webs of spiders add to trees with their beauty!

Also the drop on flocks as white as goats.

Frozen water fountains with ice blocking the water.

Spider webs hanging down like fishing lines.

Leaves with ice coats growing on them.

A light layer of ice on the outside tables.

One bit of plastic was covered in a little layers of white ice.

Spider webs with condensation on them, like wet wool.

Puddles were frozen with thick layers of ice.

Plants had light ice on them.

One frozen sock that was left outside.

Lots of spider webs with condensation.
