Hypnotising a chicken...

Tim showed me a cool trick today... He was taught this by his Ag teacher a couple of years ago...

You gently stroke the chook from under their chin all the way down their front a few times till they go floppy... Then put them on the ground and they just stay there... 

She stayed there a little bit and then just rolled to her side and got up and walked off, pecking at the ground as though nothing had happened...

I wander what goes through their mind at that time... Lol. No harm done and awesome to learn something new. ;)

Blessings,

Gentle stroking...

Repeated a few times...

Eyes open and moving but no leg action...

Walked away, pecking and talking :)

On the roof...

Our solar hot water system has a couple of tubes, covered in insulation foam, sticking out of the panels. Transports water and moves it around. Russell noticed yesterday morning that one foam tube looked like it was breaking up...

After work, He and Tim got up on the roof and replaced both bits of insulation tubing. Lucky too as they were both falling off. That could have meant that the water would freeze up in the pipes and we loose the panels... Didn't realise that they weren't even held down with an tape. Well, they are now :)

Tim, off course had a ball up there... Russell was glad to get back down...

All fixed now ;)

Lazy dog...

He loves a scratch and stretches as far as he possibly can to get the most out of it.

His humans off course are the real suckers, hehe...

Bowing to very whim. But how could you not... Lol

Andy Wilson Memorial Run...

We had it in our little village for the first time this year... Last Sunday was a most brilliant day for it. The weather was perfect!

We had walkers and runners. Young and old. There were 1km, 5km, 8km and 12km events to choose from. It was very well attended and I also loved the additional stalls that were there...

Had the best coffee and scored a beautiful cardigan for Lis' baby... So cute! I love seeing our community coming together like this... Nope, I didn't enter anything as I was not able to stay. I had a Birthday bash from work to attend. I instead went down with Josh to see them off at the start and spent some money. My ankle will be fine for next year, I know it!

Blessings,

Bruises...

Josh was having fun at the indoor trampoline place, Kloud9ine, in Toowoomba last Sunday... At one stage he fell awkwardly and landed fully on his shoulder blades... By Monday afternoon the bruising came out... You'd think he was sore but no, he couldn't feel anything...

Blessings,

Josh joshing...

Tim was cleaning out a cupboard earlier this week and he found this little robot...

There was no batteries in it, so Josh asked if I could get some on Wednesday, while I was in town...

He then attacked my hair and got the robot stuck as well. Lots of laughs and fun. Jasper had no idea what to do with it other than stay away from it hehe

Blessings,

Attack of the robot monster...

Tangled...

Josh has the controls... Watch out!

13 eggs in one day!!!

Woohoo... Gives me the opportunity to bless people with our lovely eggs... Love it!
