Blossom was not a happy bunny yesterday morning after I subjected her to this............

Bless her what with our holiday only days away my little granny cat required her monthly bath!

She is extremely good with her bath time routine, she just sits there looking pathetic! I do tell her if she spent a bit of time grooming herself every day I would not have to do this........ She is too old now for that she insists, she only has time for one thing............

Sleeping!

Patch.......

Bless little Patch I feel that he has the saddest eyes I ever seen on a cat. My heart weighs heavy for this particular stray as he is the one who is in most need of the food I leave out. He is scrawny and by all accounts dreadfully hungry, when he arrives each morning he gobbles down so much food as he nervously keeps an eye for Blackie who has taken upon himself to become guardian of the biscuits!

I'm not sure how long Patch has been coming now, a few months at least I should think in which time he has begun to trust me a little, I can now go outside and talk to him without him disappearing at an alarmingly swift pace over the fence. Out of all the feline friends that I have Patch is the one I want to wrap my arms around and offer a comfortable and safe home to, allowing him the peace of a safe place to live without fear of wondering where his next meal will come from, I shall keep persevering and leave in the lap of the gods......................

Little Miss Rowdy...............

I've named this little cutey Little Miss Rowdy because believe it or not, she is noisy.........

She is the most adorable sweet chick, she has a face of an angel and is the one most often with at least one of her parents very close by. She will also not fly up onto the fence when I go outside, bless her heart......

As she was enjoying this refreshing drink of water she continued telling her parents all about her day, therefore I blessed to hear a wonderful example of crow gargling!

She is the smallest chick too, and I am saying she however I have no idea how to tell the sex of a crow. I know with the parents as the father is much bigger than his petite wife....

I understand that crows mate for life and often their chicks will stay with them too, I have a feeling this one won't be going far without her beloved parents any time soon.............

I Am Not Moving!

Blossom was not moving for anyone as I attempted to change the sheets on my bed this morning............

Even throwing her towel and the bedding over her was not making a difference...........

Snuggling was her answer to 'go away!'

One of the babies deep in thought, they nearly have all of their facial feathers now, I wonder how long it is until their eyes will turn blue like their parents?

Refreshment time....................

Keeping a watchful eye on her precious family.................

The windswept look................

And What Is This?

What is this then? Blossom was less than impressed by this new development in the garden (oops sand pit!)

Clearly not happy with what she found there was only one thing to do!

Go back to her basket!

Presto.........

Well fancy that! After wondering out loud when the work on the pergola would begin yesterday, I return home at lunchtime to find this................

I am glad that I didn't have to dig the holes, the ground is like rock especially with the warmer weather approaching......

I am eager now for it to take shape.................

I am told that the frame for the path will be done today, so I shall hurry along after work to see what awaits me..........

Waiting patiently to become useful......................

Let The Building Begin.........

At last we have decided what to do with this area of annoying sand, at one point we considered just laying some grass down to soften the look however in the summer it takes so much water to maintain it.....................

So we have decided to have a gazebo built, a hexagonal one with a timber decking floor and black colour bond for the roof to match the house. Also my makeshift path to the back of the house will also be decked....................

Once the building is completed I will continue the native garden around the sides, attracting I trust more and more birds to feed in our garden...........

It has taken so long to complete this area, and what with the ground being like concrete it is no easy task getting a garden established..............

To complete the look we are also having a little box built to hide the pool pump and filter, it all should be completed when we return from England, although there is still two weeks to go maybe if I am lucky the builder will commence prior to then............................

How I See The World...........

At long last a photo that depicts how I see the world.

I see every single thing myself to a tree or a chair made up of these marvelous orbs of rainbow light.

As they shimmer magically together, they vibrate at an alarmingly fast pace which of course gives the illusion of how we perceive the world.

I often look at my hair watching the most incredible light show taking place wishing that somehow I could describe what it is I see, finally I can...........

I see these orbs, millions of them pouring forth from the sun each time I look up, they go everywhere and into every single thing animate and inanimate alike.

It is truly amazing, and I never tire from gazing at this spectacle, watching the Universe bestowing the light of life upon the world, connecting us all with the rays of its radiant love.............

Clouds..............

Mesmerizing and alluring, They draw me closer. Tantalising and teasing,

Drifting

Silently

Endlessly

Princess Blossom is soon to be home alone (again), whilst we naughty humans take to the shores of England for a few weeks of winter, I can't wait, roasted chestnuts, frosty mornings and I pray lots of snow, my idea of bliss............. Not to mention seeing family and special friends that are missed with all the miles between us at present.

I am already beginning to fret, the cat sitter has been to make sure that nothing much has changed since Blossom was her charge a few months ago, Blossom of course will have her running around after her telling her off when things just are not up to her standard, little minx, we shared a laugh or two as we conversed about Madame B's antics!

Bless her little heart .......

The Perfection of Life..................

The perfection of life surrounds us daily, although how many times do you stop to look at what you see? Every bird I see is a living canvas of purity.................

Each feather a miraculous portrayal of how amazing our world is........................

Colours so vibrant and alluring.....................

Faces full of character and expression.....................

Each one a truly unique and astonishing work of living art............

This is just TOO Cute...................

Bargin

14 books for $17.00, I was quite pleased with myself as I strolled out of a local fete with this arm full of future reading, and at such a bargain price too............................

I'm Happiest When....................

I'm happiest when I am surrounded by goats..................

Stroking a kangaroo............................

Caressing a koala...........................

Patting a wombat.................................

Or holding a precious lamb in my lap, the joy I feel in these experiences I believe is written all over my face.......................

My little crow babies enjoying a drink........................

Pondering what to destroy next in my garden!

This family is very close, they always arrive together, mum and dad keeping a watchful eye on any unwelcome visitors whilst the chicks play, drink and eat.................... Often they fly in with their own food which they soak in the bird bath for an hour or so before eating it.

Sharing the cat food, they LOVE this treat...............

Mum taking the fence patrol, bless her, she certainly has her feathers full with her brood of inquisitive chicks.....
