A New Greenhouse

Fork me with a tadpole! I thought that the self-assemble of Ikea was bad, but this was a nightmare! I selected this cheap greenhouse, because I couldn’t buy the materials for the price. It is half the price of other kits, and I thought I could adapt it to our needs. That is replace my […]

Watching the Honey Flow

See Market Garden Produce if any is available. Tad, the gardener, was stung by an ungrateful bee that stowed away on his protective suit. Sinisterly lurking and awaiting the moment when Tad revealed the appropriate portion of nakedness to extract a tribute of red swollen flesh for the theft of sweetness.

A Devilish Visitor

Last night we had an unfortunate visit from the notorious Tasmanian Devil. Unfortunately it was severely disfigured by the facial tumor and probably not long for this world as. There were a lot of flies attracted to the smell. We reported the incident, but there is little hope, given the extent of the disease. Rather […]

Spotted a Quoll

It wasn’t an Easter Bilby. It was a spotted quoll curiously tempted by the lack of bait in the rabbit trap. Bravely the chickens and guinea fowl teased and taunted from the other side of the wire. The quoll was released. Safely far from the viscious fowl and it skipped like a squirrel in the […]

The Wolf Pack Cometh

The Currawongs gather for their wintry solace in numbers. At the Ponds the commotion may number thirty or more. Often seen in the fields but coming in when they deem necessary. The persimmon trees were abundant this year. I saw a dozen of the black birds and quickly rescued those that seemed on the verge […]
