and while daddy worked we found a baby birdie...see if you can see the mummy bird???

kids are finally born...

one of bubba's mates from playgroup has had a pregnant goat and we went out ages ago to see her. Since then the kids have been waiting and waiting for her to have the babies....Well they have finally popped their little heads out into the world so of course we had to go and have a hold. Caramel and black coloured twins...
So adorable now we all want one!!!

flower eye candy prelude!!!

Okay this is going to be a pad out job of a post!!! surely some of you are going to be doing some if you are trying to post everyday!!!??? Anywho, I am. These are some shots of a flower I picked from a garden the other day. I just popped it on a white background and played around!!! More variety of flowers to come tomorrow...have a great blogtoberfest weekend!!!

recycled gumboot

I bought these gumboots for chicken ages ago in Hervey Bay and loved the funky girly pattern. Alas a couple of months ago we misplaced one and I have finally given up the hope of finding it again....so what to do with this gorgeous boot??? Make it a pot of course!!


Put some lovely succulents in it and walah!!!! I love the way it just adds a little more permanent colour to the garden. What do you think?

TAG your it!!!

image from my SIL
Yep, it's the grown up version... have been tagged twice over the last few days from one very talented writer, Che & Fidel and the one and only creative, stylish chicki's known, Gday Beautiful!!! Thanks ladies I am very flattered...

Here's how to play...

1) Link to the person who tagged you
2) Mention the rules
3) Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself
4) Tag six other bloggers by linking to them
5) Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment that lets them know they’ve been tagged


1. I have been known to cry pretty much when there are any deaths in tv shows & movies...think all my tears over my dad's death empty when I see someone else go thru the same thing!!

2. I have very fair skin and burn in 10 mins....once also burnt my ears so bad they blistered and then peeled!

3. I have a brand new sewing machine that I did not touch for about 3 months because I was scared of it!!!

4. I love love love black and white photography and most of the photos in my house are just that Black & white.

Farm fun

Have had the cousins up to play with this last week and the have dug out the old mower of Dad Darko's!! Bubba has taken a shine to it and I thought you would like to see the way he drives it...
Stage 1
Stage 2...the pedal is hard to press and when you are short/small....

Till he finally gave in and sat on the floor!!! Looks absolutely hilarious. the gear shift is actually in his back!!!
The cousins had fun driving around on the quad...

I just love these images that my SIL took of our farm grasses...
