Great tip - I'll keep that in mind.
Picked up the new glasses today!
Your dragon cake looks amazing! Did you have a cake mold or did you have to carve it out of regular cake (hope that makes sense)?
Good work on the hatch!
His body was a round cake chopped in half and stuck together. The tail and neck were cut from a round cake and his head I cut out of a square cake. Now we have a lot of cake to eat! I think I'll make some room in the fridge today because with our current weather conditions it won't be long before it starts growing green fuzz.

Now I'm twice as impressed as you didn't have a dragon mold to shape him.
And speaking of mold...no green fuzz on my piece please
Sourland seems to love green ie, frogs, his green potato salad. Just scrap off all the green mold and send it to him.
You know what they say about mold, right DD?
Do you suppose Sour has a lab set up in his basement?
Good Morning Friends 
Sipping on my Iced Coffee as I type.
Michelle I am pleased Mr Pig is showing signs of improvement.
Love the cake Jae
Good save on the button! I hope (s)he does well.
While the deck still needs work, I did manage to make it look a lot better with lots more room [moved a heap of stuff under the house].
Just sharing some pics .....
On Friday, picked up 'Hooty' for $10 from our local online Marketplace. He is now living in the under the house garden. I am going to try and find him a stump to sit on:
On the way in to town yesterday, we stopped off at a market place and picked up a $5 hanging basket plant [did not come with basket but in a small pot only half full with sand, so it needs some TLC]. The picture does not do it justice as it is hanging under the house and hard to catch in the right light but it is a beautiful purple and green; no idea what it is though:
When we popped in to the hardware to buy the basket for it, picked up this solar powered frog which was on special $12 down from $32. You can not see it very well, but he has his head in the jar and is try to catch a dragonfly within. The jar lights up at night and it is sitting near the top pond:
We have a couple of Yellow Breasted Sunbirds building a nest on a piece of string hanging under the house. Sunbirds are tiny and quick but they are building their nest in a great spot for me to catch some pictures of them [stay tuned] Oh, and excuse the mess in the background which is just a taste of what I am having to deal with:
Potted a cutting my neighbour gave me. Unfortunately it did not come with a great deal of roots so not sure how it will go. It has joined other plants at the fish ponds:
My neighbour also came good on the ground cover she promised me, so planted that. Love the colour!
Because my tree fern was in a corner under the house and getting too big [branches being bent by shade cloth and some being burnt by the sun where they had grown passed the shade], I moved it more central. Besides water saving and weed control, another reason I like to keep things in pots, they can be moved:
Remember Audrey whose arrival I was very excited about in October? Then:
Now [PS, you can see the clutter in the background here also]:
Plans for today .. typical Sunday, finish housework, load of washing, trip in to town for groceries and then home to give everything a good dose of water prior to our week of blah temperatures; starting today with a predicted max of 93F.

@Teila loved seeing all the gardening decor and how your yard work is paying off! Boy, Audrey sure has grown (be careful, lol).
I'm not 100% sure but your new purple plant in the hanging basket may be a Wandering Jew. You might have another name for them down under.
Looking forward to seeing the Yellow Breasted Sunbirds. What a cool nest they've been building!

I built all 4 doors for the bunny condo, and stapled hardware cloth on them. Then i got chilled by the drizzling rain so i came in.
Not too much longer and i should have this project done!
