Piccies ~ because the garden, you know...
Pretty sure these are my bluebells popping up between the freesias.

And a whole heap of orchids...

Just starting to open. So dramatic!

And a massive Bromeliad spike...

This morning's clouds~
Because I can't help myself.

I thought they sorta looked like weird dogs chasing each other.​

Yep, looks like Chinese dragons to me too.

So I now have tick poisoning...they are so tiny you can't see them even when the itch begins & both John & I have been bitten. We are blaming Kirby.

Which did not make today's mainland trip any fun @ all. I am seriously considering Guinea keets.

Oh no! Sorry to hear it. What's the treatment?

I don't know that there is one. I am just treating the headache & the itching.

Edwina has laid her first egg!

Deana's (left) and Tsuki's (right) for size comparison.

I'm a bit disappointed it's not green but it is quite a dark brown. I certainly won't confuse it with the other eggs!

She is 21 weeks old and has been checking out the nesting boxes for over a week but this egg was under their favourite bush. Go figure

Oh no, that's no good. I hope you both recover quickly

What are Guinea keets and why are you considering them???

Congratulations!

Keets = baby guinea fowl. They clean up ticks even better than the chooks do. Because we have so much bush the ticks can be a real problem.

Such a beautiful little egg!!
