More flooding photos...

Boy the water was high yesterday... Will take some time to come down though it is moving at a rate...

Blessings,

Frost...

Came home after work this morning to be greeted with zero degrees and a blanket of ice...

Very cool :)

Blessings,

Elixir from Heaven...

I love my milk kefir... Unadulterated... Pure... On its own and large quantities of it...

Yum, just yum...

Blessings,

What the???

Tim was feeding the Chooks yesterday morning... He threw the grain in a rocky and wet area as it has been raining so much. One of the Chooks moved this way and that and then ran for the grain. Where she had been, she had laid an egg on the run!

One part of the egg got knocked a little as it dropped on the rocks. All good to eat though. Tim picked it up straight away and it was still wet and warm... Now that is fresh for ya!

Blessings,

Visitors...

Rocky and some of the ladies visited us yesterday as they were trying to keep out of the rain...

Blessings,

Flooding...

At home we had 72.9mm of rain... More was received in our local larger town 1/2hr drive away...

The Condamine River has burst its banks for sure...

Had to turn around twice and take alternative routes to get to where I needed to go...

Our tanks were already full and now are busting at the seams, off course. The rain has been wonderful for the seedling trees and shrubs though. And now the grass will grow again also. The next three nights it will be cold. Glad I have the fireplace ;)

Blessings,

Dinner...

Have not had a meal out of the slow cooker for a while... Tonight is the night to break that! So looking forward to it...

Blessings,

Resting and chillin'

Not much beats cuddles with the dogs... Josh adores Jasper and Domino and they adore him... 

Blessings,

Sustenance needed...

Josh comes home from Parkour and then needs to do his jobs around the place and work on his assignments...

One needs sustenance when doing that off course... So he asks if he can have sandwiches like he used to when little... Cut into quarters... Lol

Blessings,

Peanut Butter and Jam, off course...

Lookin' good...

Had been wanting a drinking container for the crate. Currently, we don't leave a dog, as in Domino, in there when we go out to minimize distruction, as we had no water container. Putting a bowl in there would encourage spillage and playing in it.

Found one!!! It's especially designed for dog crates! Woohoo! Both have figured out already how it works ;) Clever boys...

I also scored a therapeutic doggy may for 1/2 price :) Bargain. I wonder how long it will survive with Domino... The other larger cushion has already been destroyed... After the mat is destroyed he will have to be happy with his doggy blanket... That he's always left alone... Well, we will see anyway...

Blessings,

New water container for the crate...

New velvety mat...

Old cushion destroyed by master destroyer...

Chillin'...

We have been training Domino to not jump up and have used the crate with some success already. As not to isolate, the crate is in the lounge room...

Both the dogs love to use it to chill. They come and go as the door is always open when not teaching... Makes it cozy. Love seeing them snuggling together :) They are forming a bond, which is lovely to witness...

Blessings,

Watching from a distance ;)

We chillin', Mum!

I see you looking at me, Mum!

Cuties...

Was in my room and heard a bang. Saw a little bird fly away. Must have ended up with a headache... 

Then as I sat down to watch the two of them they didn't seem faced at all... Just jumped around and checking me out...

Cuties...

Blessings,

New pad...

Love to get into the Chookhouse and clean it out! Love the smell of woodshavings. Happy chookies, happy me :)

Blessings,

Best spot...

Jasper and Domino know just where the best spot in the house is when the fire is going ;)

Blessings,

Bring them in...

I had to pick some jonquils and lavender and bring them inside to enjoy...

Such a heavenly scent...

Blessings

Flowers in the garden...

The garden doesn't know if it's time to flower or not... It seems very confused. We are still to have frosts come and some flowers can't help themselves and have decided to flower early. The bees have been very busy indeed...

Blessings,

Iris always remind me of my Oma...

The rosemary is heavy with bees...

The wattle smells devine...

The lavender, oh the scent...

Date with my lad...

After we saw Tim off, Josh and I went on a date to The Coffee Club for brekkie... I wouldn't give these times up for anything. They are so precious to both of us. Tim enjoys his with me also :) this was Josh's second brekkie for the day. I'd had a sleepover so it was my first :)

Had the best chats and off course the company was brilliant. So was the food and drink ;) Josh ordered a lac free milkshake that tasted the best!!! Didn't them play up on his system after that, which is always a huge bonus...

Blessings,

Awww, growing up so fast, yet enjoying every moment...

Going on a road trip...

This morning the whole family saw Tim off before his two week trip out back. He will be hopefully finding opals... He will be learning practices used to polish the Rock and then prepare for sale. Tim has a great teacher in Eric :) 

He will cook as well as enjoy the hot springs out there. There'll also be kayaking and allot of walking... Gotta catch them Pokemon!!!

Blessings,

Tim in his protective gear... He is ready hehe

Weird egg...

Got this wrinkly egg... Wonder how this happens? Too much calcium?

Strange... Though will still taste awesome ;)

Blessings,

Gamemaker

Josh is doing his assignment at the moment on gamemaker... I actually got through it all, beating Russell ;)

Proud of you Josh!

Blessings,

My mirror...

Positive affirmations that make it to my mirror are wonderful ways of leaving bits of me behind. I get to share with my family even if I'm not there :)

I am brave

I am accepted

I am loved

I am awesome

I believe...

I am respected

I am honoured

My mirror today. Love my mirror and my pen!

Pokemon GO...

It is here and here to stay I dare say. It has been awesome for me to tap into what my kids are into :)

Great way to go for a walk too :) The dogs are also living the walks :)

I'm not near their levels and that's ok.

Level 15 will do me hehe

Blessings,

Pretty good way to end the last level :)
