Watching from above

So often I've walked through our paddocks wondering what animals may be around hiding, watching and wondering about us as we push the pram or Dizzy runs back and forth.

T spotted this amazing sight - not one, or two, but THREE frogmouths in the one tree;  

a dead eucalyptus we were planning on chopping down.

Five fish

Santa came early, with some goldfish for Piet. 

I slipped them into the water lily pond and haven't seen them since!

A turtle dove in our plum tree

 

I found the first day of Christmas! In our own plum tree!

Remembrance day

 Cold and windy again today but inside the cafe at work this morning everyone stopped, stood still at 11am for Remembrance Day, was nice to be a part of this. It also helped me survive the Monday of a busy week.

The cool weather is not stopping little P from experiencing farm life:

and tonight T finally put Piet's yacht in the pool, such a big smile on their faces...must be father/son bonding?? One day he can have a yacht the same size as his Dad's but for know this one will do.  The yacht was the first birthday present he received - the night of the day he was born nearly 15 months ago.  The nurses thought it funny to have a yacht sitting on the windowsill of the hospital suite.

Uni started today so I have the heater on and ready to curl up on the couch to complete some readings. Tony at the yacht club, P in bed and Dizzy at my feet - love such a quiet peaceful night at home for a change.

Spring farm images

Looking back on pictures I took two weeks ago when the sun spent an entire day in front of the clouds

...onions, oregano, leeks, broad beans, chives, artichokes, spinach, chard, garlic, almonds, poppies, snow peas, lavender...

The grass is just too long, the ride-on lawn mower has decided to take early retirement - bad timing with Summer and long grass a bad combination for the upcoming fire season.

And these guys, well, they are absolutely the laziest sheep ev-er! 

Are they having story time over in their nice little corner! 

Hey guys, thought about munching a few blades of grass at some stage??
