In the Pumpkin Patch

Can you see it?

What about now?

Or now?

Well if you want to really see

Went down to vegie garden

but didn't do any gardenting after seeing this!!!!

After this shot it turned about and went back in

and now I can't see where it is

So no more of that for me today

And yes it is a Tiger

And yes it is listed as

Extremely aggressive

and Dangerous

Course this has to happen now that Dan has taken a job in town

This is only day 2!!!!

Finally in Print

Yes as hinted here 

I have a series of articles coming up in the Down Under Textiles Magazine.

The first one is due out this month.

I haven't even seen it yet!!!

I hope it is ok

as I wrote it while packing to move

oh so long ago back in Nov/Dec

Way back in last year.

And yesterday I sent in article 2

due out in May.

So 2 down 1 to go.

Chooks are go

View from the house

The brand new chicken yard is finished and full.

Dan spent many hours on this beauty

which should by all accounts still be up in 20 years time.

The roosting shed is at the left end and the chick rearing area on the right

View from the paddock

And from this side you can see it has it's own water tank.

The chicken nipples are on the way in the mail

and will be installed soon. 

Our new Rooster and 3 of his girls, he has a rosecomb which was unexpected.

You can also see our Muscovy DrakeCedric and off to the side is Hedley

And here is our mother and child.

She is not happy at being segregated to the chick rearing area

But after the chick tried to swim

 in the water bowl

it was deemed safer all round.

I am so happy to have a full complement of birds again.

A place in the country just doesn't seem right without them.

And duck egg pasta is divine.
