INTRODUCING SNOWCONE

 Christmas 2022 - The highlight for family visiting was making friends with Snowcone - a dairy cow that is now living in retirement. We are all discovering our new place in this little pocket of paradise - 25 acres of mixed pasture and native bush with a creek (Claytons Rivulet) running through the whole place.


Feeding Snowcone - she loves vegetables, some fruit and her pellets. She cant keep up with the lush grass and she gets hay also. We go down twice a day to say hello and feed her. When cooking I put aside all the scraps and get them to her every couple of days. Also she gets the vegetables in the veggie patch that have gone to seed or just in a cleanup of outer leaves of lettuce, cabbage and such.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE GAZEBO

Once they got going it didn't take them long notwithstanding it took a long time sitting in the shade discussing what to do and what not to do. And what problems could there be before even unpacking the box. Short video as I head down, from the back of the house, on the bike to the block where they are putting up the Gazebo - this on top of the deck they put together a couple of weeks ago. looking good. Followed by some candid shots during the setup.

A BUSHFIND & clearing out the Cypress hedge

In the middle of a cleared thicket of cypress we found this cute fellow who is begging to be repainted. Any ideas ? One of the first jobs we tackled was to cut back a row of cypress that had overgrown the driveway up to the house. They can be seen on the left of the picture in the image below. A huge job that went quicker than i anticipated - man with a truck and a mulcher and 3 days later it was cleared. Now to plant it out.

  THEN ... (at 6 weeks old) Archie on the left, Kimba on the right in both photos. and NOW ... (at 2 years old) Having moved out to the country 10 months ago, we determined the cats would not run free on the property for a lot of reasons with protecting the wildlife on the top of the list. The wildlife here consists of a myriad of birds (redbreast robin, swallows, crows, fairy wrens, european goldfinch, parrots, eagles, kookaburras, spotted pardolot and more for us to still discover and name), small brown frog, blackfish, protected species turbo chooks, a platypus, a resident tiger snake, wallabies, blue tongue lizard and again, so much more to discover. my you-tube channel is a hold-all place for the many videos i am taking rather than posting 3 times a day here.  you can see the platypus video here - wait for it at the 1.09, 221 and 3.03-3.15 minute mark.  and the gorgeous little echidna is here. So, the cat run - due to a variety of reasons it took 9 months befo...
