Our days are busy atm.
Packing up our lives and house-hunting.
So glad this gorgeous little creature visits us regularly.
This little girl parrot was born this year with a mishapened beak. But she copes so well and has the most beautiful spirit.
She's super cheeky forever nipping at Leon's hand looking for more special cashew. We will miss her so much.

It's finally official.
We are moving out from our home of 35 years mid Jan.
Mixed feelings xx

Had an eventful weekend.
Starting early Saturday morning house hunting on the Northern Beaches and ending with a plate and screws in a seriously broken left wrist.
Accidents happen ! And I have to say we are so lucky we live in Australia and have a state of art new hospital and amazing skilled health professionals looking after us.
I couldn't fault one person from walking into emergency department with a very bent wrist to being reassured and skilfully cared for by the nurses, wardsmen, attending doctors, anaesthetists and surgeons.

I was told there is a 2 hour nurses strike tomorrow
I dont like strikes no-one does but they have no other avenue. We need to pay these incredible people their worth 💙

Our Zyga cactus this year are prolific.
Can't understand how they make such huge heavy flowers from minimal soil.
Maybe the worm juice helps.
The bees weren't visiting these flowers until the big stamin burst out. Now the pots are busy being visited daily and pollinated as well.

A eleventh hour happy 29th birthday to our beautiful
Will always be our baby girl xx

We have only 2 chooks atm.
Named "flops" and "the other one" :)
They are brown leghorns, and make a beautiful egg.
Flops with the floppy comb is more dominant and has been laying longer than " the other one".
They make different noises and different eggs.
One lays a more pointy egg than the other.

Nature teaches patience.
We have a neglected garden bed near the fence boundary and our pool. 18 months ago, I weeded out all the weeds and there was a small bush of yesterday today and tomorrow. (Brunfelsia). The wet year has spurred this plant growth and the bright purple flowers have taken over.
It also has a subtle smell like honey 💜

Last couple of weeks we have had the privilege of being introduced to Mr and Mrs parrots new baby boy and girl.
The girl has a distorted beak but manages to eat. See image 3. The boy is a speckled red and green but has a reddish beak. Image 5.
Both were scolded by Mr Red Parrot to go away and get food elsewhere.
Life is tough when you are a wild bird :)
The 2 youngins visited us for a week or so and loved the wild bird seed and raw cashews, but now have moved on.

We have a Tawny frogmouth family and nest beautifully camouflaged on a craggy barked gum tree hanging over our dam.Image 4 is the nest and we think there is 1 baby.
The male is sitting on the nest and the female is looking at us
Perched on a branch below napping.
Supposedly they share hunting at night time to feed the hungry baby.
Haven't seen the baby as yet :)

Our Azaleas this year are so full of flower that the branches are hanging down. I am amazed they have withstood the heavy wind and rain we have had this last week.
And if you walk past the bedrooms indoors the pink is practically fluoro :)

This came up on my feed !
From a person in Dural
Could happen anywhere

"I had a concerning experience today at my residence in our gated community. Two individuals showed up, claiming they were here to check my NBN router. I found this odd because I had not reported any internet issues or requested with my providers or Telstra raised any service request with NBN. One of them tried to touch and open the router box installed outside my property without my consent. I immediately stopped him and asked for clarification why you are doing and as I didn’t get any messages from NBN mentioning about engineer visit at my address. When I told them I hadn’t made any complaint and asked them to leave, they hesitated. After they left, I followed them outside main gate, and noticed there were three more people waiting in a van wanted to enter, none of whom could speak English properly. They seemed suspicious, and I believe they might have been trying to enter vehicle by force cases the main gate left semi-open for while. I contacted my internet service provider, and they confirmed there was no service request logged for my address. This raised serious concerns about their intentions. This incident made me feel they could potentially be muggers or involved in some other suspicious activity. I strongly recommend keeping an eye out for any similar incidents in our community. Stay safe, everyone. Make sure to verify any service personnel before letting them onto your property. Make sure to tag the relevant community groups or pages for wider visibility."

Its with very heavy hearts we say goodbye to our dear little Raggamuffin. So glad his final day was in the warm arms of Leon and the safety of his treasured home.
I managed to find some early photos all the way back to 12 years ago when he hopped into our lives.
Farewell little man, you have brought us so many laughs.
You will be greatly missed ❤️

Such a cold blowy day but Mr Parrot still visited:)
He has the most intense blue edge of feathers around his neck and back.

Wisteria season is in full bloom.
The purple blooms are stunning this year after a wet winter.
It's such a refreshing start of Spring.

Had a great time last night mixing with design people enjoying the annual open night of furniture and fabric wholesalers 69 O'riordan Street Alexandria.
Great product, food and entertainment.
Loved the outdoor furniture and lighting

Spring has sprung 🧡 💜

29/08/2024

Our herbs got a battering from the cold wet winter.
So we pulled out the dying sage and rocket.
Replenished the soil with our worm farm castings and replanted new seedlings.
Have to say it's worth planting herbs close to your kitchen
So you use them. We are now in the habit of using herbs in every meal, even the salads.

Sunday night munchies
With home made sound sourdough bread from our neighbour .
It's cool tonight but looks like we won't need a fire this week with unseasonably hot weather forecast.

Spent a restorative hour @humstudio.deewhy With @hold_space_with_becc Her yin and sound class was divine :)

Bee Swarm

Kelley from Castlecrag Honey collecting a Bee Swarm without her Beekeepers suit on !

Even though we are so dry the wisteria is beautiful this year must be our buckets of water.

Great place to read a book on a hot Sydney day. Chorus of cicadas are nearly deafening.

Finally the rain has come. Our water tanks were nearly empty. Even the frogs are happy the sweetest sound in the world.

Spring Silence

What can you hear ? Nothing but a spring breeze.
