The Orange Moon
Just in case you've missed the beautiful sight of the orange Moon last night around 7 p.m. The colour was caused by the "scattering" effect of atmospheric particles (aka Rayleigh scattering) - shorter wavelengths of light (e.g. blue) get scattered while the longer ones (e.g. orange and red) pass through. This usually happens when the Moon is closer to the horizon, causing light to pass through a thicker layer of the Earth's atmosphere.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Home made bread problem
Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?
I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.
I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.
It can only be the flour?
What do you think?
