What a view...

Got the chance to leave my normal four walls yesterday afternoon... How cool is it that someone does Physio from their home and has a view like this!!!

Blessed to have seen this...

Blessings,

Off colour...

For the last week, Jasper has not been himself...

He's withdrawn and clingy. He's not sick or off his food and water. He's just not the normal happy boy that he is.

What I've realised is that he is at about the same time as when Bailey started getting sad after Nova had died...

The other issue is that since I rolled my ankle he hasn't been for his usual walks... 

My excellent walking shoes have worn out from the last 10years worth of work so I'm getting a new pair.

He needs to get back to walking and so do I, badly... It'll be ok Jasper, it'll be ok...

Blessings,

Little visitor...

Look what I found just now while closing my door... He was a bit squished in there. Must of been hiding from someone hehe

Tim tried to kiss him and he jumped off... 

Love hearing and seeing these little green guys...

Blessings,

Honeybees...

Russell and I had the privilege of seeing hives getting new queens yesterday... Was amazing how calm they actually were... The potential flying and stinging was what stopped us many a times. We're looking forward to getting our Flow Hive in December :)

We're loving the learning process. This week we also plant bee trees! ;)

Australian Native Stingless Bees...

Russell and I went to an Open Day for Bees yesterday... We've had a native beehive since October 2011 and have not split it. Which also means we've never looked inside. They are incredible little creatures, that's for sure!

Yesterday, Dr Tim Heard opened up two of his hives. He's renowned for his very extensive knowledge on all things related to Native Bees. Gave me the confidence to try the same with ours in Spring, October probably.

Looking forward to seeing inside ours. Here's a few pictures of Tim's hives...

Blessings,

Smaller hive just split...

A stopper at the entrance for traveling...

Natives don't just use wax but also plant resin...

Beautiful bees building...

Wolf Tail...

Tim requested very nicely that I make him one...

Am getting there slowly... Have no straightner though so am at a loss as to how I'll get around that.

Blessings,

Oven dilemma...

Last weekend I was to cook a roast. As the oven was heating up, sparks flew from the fan inside the oven... Smoke was inside too...

I'm so glad I have a top oven and was able to use it for the roast, though it is not fan forced.

My Dad was out visiting yesterday and he looked at it. Tim was a great help with holding it steady for my Dad.

End result... It needs a new heater coil, new backing plate, door seal and one of the screws has a little seal broken around it.

Will give it another lease on life and save us from buying a new one, for now...

Blessings,
