One more to go. It is nearly finished ~ & then what shall I do?

Hug chickens

The girls greeting me this morning.

We have cloud.
Hoping for rain.​

Yesterday in amongst the herbs @ Bunnings: a water dragon!​

Ahhhhh I've just realised I've been missing your island views

Unfortunately we lose the dramatic cloud views as we move more into summer & our sunrises are fairly bland. All the drama tends to be to the west of us & we don't have good western views. With luck though we should eventually get those pristine mirror image mornings soon.

This morning's excitement was a little more than I wanted or needed. Our neighbours bailed John up because they had a maggie chick fallen out of a nest & flailing around ~ predator bait in anyone's book. They didn't know what to do so John nabbed it & stuck it in one of our bushes out of harms way but while fully feathered still not flying & needing to be fed so I scrounged up our wild~life carer's number & birdie has gone to his new home where he will be looked after until he can fend for himself. No pictures because we rather had our hands full @ the time.

Way to go. It makes you feel good inside when help an animal in distress. Well done. I feel good for just knowing you.

Thanks @BY Bob. We've done a few over the years. The availability of a wild life carer varies but if all else fails the WIRE people will usually meet you off a boat. I've done bats, black swans, mutton birds, honeyeaters, snakes...

I'm so glad you got your rug Bob. It's lovely Ribh and so masculine!
Your crocheted chooks are just perfect too!

Yesterday was a mainland day: we took my friend in to Brissie airport. Today was a mainland day: Dr; chook food; Bunnings; wool..& nearly 2 hours of cuddling a baby! *sigh* I think I am in love. Such a snuggly buggly. And I made mum very, very happy. Apparently bubs had been windy & hadn't pooped in several days. Worried new mum. I cuddled & burped & winded & just after we left mum was rewarded with what she described as a *mustard explosion*!

And I didn't have to clean that one up!

I got to see a friends 9 month old grand daughter today. So cute!

Good timing leaving before the "mustard explosion" Ribh!

Our cat, Belle, is a Persian cross but she won't sit still for brushing. So, in spring she takes a trip to the vet and gets shorn like a sheep.

I thought you good people might enjoy her "snow bunny" look with her fluffy boots, head and tail.
