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

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.
