What's everyone doing these school holidays?
We're looking forward to a road trip to visit my Grandmother at the seaside. Maybe we'll go to the beach, build some sandcastles, explore the rock pools and watch the seagulls. I was sitting outside enjoying the fragrance these jasmine flowers when a lovely butterfly showed up. It's been a wonderful Spring so far. I've been enjoying my time in the garden watching the seeds we planted grow, the flowers open, the native stingless bees buzzing about and talking to a little wallaby and her Joey.
All of the seasons are beautiful, in their own way, but at the moment this one is my favourite. I hope you are all also enjoying the season you're in right now too. It's Spring time again, the weather is delightful and the wattle is in flower. I've been enjoying my time outside, as has Puss Puss the wallaby. I think his wattle and spiderweb crown suits him quite well. Although, I'm not quite sure the fashion industry is ready for his special poses just yet...
I have been very busy lately, but not too busy to enjoy the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. I'll tell you more about what I have been up to later but for now I wanted to tell you about one cheeky Sulphur-crested cockatoo. This cockatoo spent a few days throwing wattle around the yard from high up in the trees. There was little bits of wattle all over the place - on the ground, on the roof, on the clothesline and some even landed on my head! I guess it was the cockatoo's version of getting the garden ready for Spring. Here is a photo of the wild gardener in the trees. Click here to see a bigger version and more photos of cockatoos in our garden. And here is a photo of some wattle the cockatoo threw that landed on a pretty old piece of Ironbark in the garden.
