Beautiful eggs...

Aren’t the most beautiful eggs??? My precious friend Rebecca and her hubby Mark have the chooks that produce these... They are delish and as they are so beautiful to look at they are hard to crack, let me tell you lol

Puppies happy being warm...

When that fire is on you can guarantee that chair is where the dogs will be... Jasper and Domino love that chair... Love the fire being on :)

Praying Mantas eggs...

Found these in the Rosemary bush as I was cutting them back...

More babies!

Blessings,

Where are they going???

Walking Domino late this afternoon, we encountered six millipedes going across the dirt roads over a space of about four hundred metres. Single, one at a time...

Must be migrating season...

Blessings,

Babies...

Chillin' and snoozing...

Blessings,

Domino and Jasper...

2 week old calf...

Isn't he the most adorable baby animal around??? I certainly think so. He's such a sook, as his mum says. He's good that he's on only two big bottles a day now, though he still ends up having about 3 litres of formula. He's an orphan...

My friend's grandkids are going to just adore him when they visit!

Blessings,

Spring has Sprung...

Love seeing the bees out and about, especially on our wattles, lavender and rosemary... 

Yesterday, we put our order in for three nucs... In three to four weeks, we WILL have bees! Finally putting them into two normal hives and one Flow Hive! Can't wait!!!

Blessings,

Enjoying a bit of our lavender inside...

Was given Jasmine yesterday... Such a beautiful smell...

The Destroyer...

That is what our darling Domino was though not anymore... He's learning well that when he does the wrong thing there's a crate to go and think about it. Jasper and he actually choose to sleep in there most days, with the door open... Very cute :)

Blessings,

The last may to be shredded...

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,

Resting and chillin'

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

Blessings,

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,

Weird egg...

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

Strange... Though will still taste awesome ;)

Blessings,

Our new boy...

We sadly lost Bruce our rooster about three weeks ago. Didn't even want to acknowledge it as its been a sad time. At least he passed being with his ladies in the Chookhouse, very warm and comfy...

Well, yesterday Tim came home with a new rooster. He's six months old and at the moment he's in a pen just so he gets used to being relocated... He's very beautiful... He has feathers down his feet just like Bruce had... Oh, I do miss that boy...

His comb is a Rose comb. Haven't had a chook with such a comb before though have seen them plenty of times...

Due to his colouring looking a little mottled like a rock his name is Rocky!

He's come from a lovely home in our village and though he's on the bigger side he's is a gentleman...

Can't wait to introduce him to the ladies properly!!!

Blessings,

Our chewer...

Domino has such a knack for it. This time it's the corner of the coffee table... 

Time to retrain...

Blessings,

Cuddle time...

Josh and Jasper were having cuddles. Domino doesn't like to miss out... May look uncomfortable though it wasn't for him... Funny puppy...

Blessings,
