wild, woollie and windy

speaking of windies, 

i'm eating piles and piles of raw veg. 

blah!

PAAAARP!

imagine a day 

when fun and laughter jump, 

and 

sadness stands still

be strong wee one

don't be swallowed up

Jealous Ma??  

I saved you the legs...but then somehow they walked into my mouth...sorry. 

If it's any consolation the cats never got any either! Though, Basil did get some cod. 

Love you :)

looking at you looking at me

kiwi summer

Yesterday was burning hot as I chaffed hay for horses. The heat under my mask, goggles and muffs was almost unbearable.  

Today, goosies run along my arms and I wear woollie socks and a thermal. It's a beaut day for chaff cutting.

Yay for kiwi summers!

Look who's come in from the rain to dry her hairy legs.

None too keen at being photographed and shown on the web!

I don't know why I honour blowflies with a blogpost as last night we dealt with yucky maggots on three of our lambs. 

But spying them on the parsnip seed heads made me grin and remember the fun I had with my plastic blowflies when I was a kid.  

Blowflies on ice-cream...cool!

fascination in ma's garden

 



white-faced heron



The kids and I race inside when we see two white-faced herons land atop the towering tree.

By the time we grab camera, telescope and binoculars, one of them flies off, losing her head in the process.

So we wait...me with camera poised, determined to catch this one in full flight.  

But he decides it's time to preen...

And preen he does!

Every damn feather!!

Still I linger, leaning out the window, arm and neck muscles screaming.

Please, please fly.

Finally...

And I chop off his legs!

:(

 

The kids spied this spider wrapping up her dinner.

She has the most beautiful body pattern.

Any ideas what she is?

Look what we saw out our kitchen window...

Morris and Mony Little Owl

 They're nesting in the pinetrees.

My favourite :)

Don't you just wanna squeeze his cheeks?

Nothing worse when you're spying on someone and they turn and look right at you!
