Some Winter Visitors flew in

Crimson Rosella parrots on the path and grass under the apple tree out the front
....not sure what they found to eat here.

King Parrot in the decidiuous Honey Suckle above the BBQ.
Honey Suckle hasn't lost any leaves yet.

Cold out for Bunnies and Beagle

It's a cold wintery day for the bunnies and beagle......but it's raining....yay. See the pot on the stand it is RABBIT-PROOF.

Bad Bunny

Caught! This is "W" for Wabbit. Why is it that he roams the backyard, has loverly green grass and parsley in the garden to sample, is feed twice a day on rabbit mix and still needs to eat the succulents and cactus on the outdoor table!? Must just need to eat at the table!

Flower of the Month - May 2007

Although the Camellias (pink sasanqua pictured, this is the one I am trying to contort into a ball-on-a-stick type of topiary) and the roses are doing OK in May......

the Orange Chinese Lantern bush is doing really well, considering the chilly mornings.....

better even than the Red Chinese Lantern out the front and a thousand times better than the poor old yellow Chinese Lantern under the deck that has now basically become rabbit food (definately not pictured).

Pet of the Month - May 2007

Previously known as Muffin, she now likes to be called Henny Penny. She is currently my favourite bird. Regularly produces her daily egg even on the chilliest of mornings. She happily struts the back garden every day, especially since "He Who Shall Not Be Named", has now left for a better place. She also gives the local white rabbits a run for their money.

Getting Laid

Hah, got ya.Of course it is Henny Penny's daily egg - What else would it be!!!!

A Home Among the Gum Trees

Home Among The Gum Trees

I've been around the world

a coupleof times

or maybe more

I've seen the sights, I've had delights

On every foreign shore

But when my friends all ask me the place

that I adore I tell them right away

(Chorus)

Give me a home among the gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two, a kangaroo

A clothes-line out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

You can see me in the kitchen

Cookin' up a roast

Or Vegemite on toast

Just you and me, a cup of tea

Later on we'll settle down

And mull up on the porch

And watch the possums play

(Chorus)

Some people like their houses

With fences all around

Others live in mansions

And some beneath the ground

But me, I like the bush, you know

With rabbits running 'round

And a pumpkin vine out the back

(Chorus Twice)
