Blooie, glad you survived your rather long day. I too adore Tam's new house - it's got so much character. She is one lucky gal!

It rained so much here that in 12 hours, overnight, our tanks, which were below half full, are now completely full. Almost 30,000litres (nearly 8,000gal according to the online conversion thingy) has gone into them! We are in for quite a few more days of rain but nothing that intensive. I've never known it to rain so hard. The storm water culvert at the bottom of our property flooded and our bridge is gone, but at least my chickens and quail didn't get washed away!

I checked on my baby Javas as the floor of my aviary is soaked (it's got a thick lot of wood chips in the bottom) but everyone seems fine. They are huge now. The oldest is 6 days old today and the youngest is 4. Still no sign of feathers but they are a big finch so they are slower to develop than the little finches. My DD wants to hand rear them but I might just steal the two eldest ones and leave the parents the youngest one to finish rearing.

 
I finally got some photos of the gang. It's tricky because we have to close the curtains when they are out to prevent the Bourkes flying into the windows as they can get some speed up! So the camera does struggle a bit in the low light.

Here the Bourkes are enjoying some apple while their buddies snooze.


Rosie likes to snuggle into hair and preen it for you. She's on my DD here.


My DD is thrilled that Pie will happily sit on the toy skateboard and be pushed slowly along.
 
J, your little jelly bean babies are growing and that picture of Pie on the skateboard is great! That was an amazing amount of rain in 12 hours, glad all is ok.

 happy birthday to the Princess! Did you win big? If not, as long as you didn't lose your shirt, you're ahead, lol.

DMC, I thought we were bad with the wind...you win!

Teila, glad to hear you can now move on the Phase 2 of the move. Don't get too used to that single lifestyle, this is just temporary ya know!

Blooie, what an exhausting day. Hope you can take it easy tonight.

We're still in a wind advisory...son is on spring break and was hauling corn yesterday for the farmer he's worked for the last 3 years...he was fine with a full semi but the return trip the trailer would veer to the side...good thing it didn't tip over!

Wow, that would have been scary! Glad he was able to make the drive ok.

Is this your same DS that's going to be coming to WY soon? There won't be an escape from the wind here (although it seems pretty calm at the moment, maybe the worst is over).

Good morning Debby! Yes it is. He won't be driving, I imagine the teachers will be. Wind sucks
