Big Thirsty Aussies

Well, I went to see Dwight Yoakam on Sunday(yes Mike, He sings both kinds of music). Still really entertaining. I didn't run up to the stage to get a photo, nor did I hurl any type of under garment either. Amazing how a man of 50 can still shake it so darn well(or is it because I am a gal of 40........ Nah). We had a lovely visit with the Aunty J's as well so a good weekend all around. Took Criquette the farm poodle to the beach for her first visit. The blur may give you an idea of how much she enjoyed visiting the coast! Here too are photos from our walk and the Bower bird's bower (see previous post) now that I figured out the posting in beta. I am working on a before and after garden blog thingo (no!!! not another blog)but it is really just going to be a journal to go with the hard copy of the annual garden diary(obsessive compulsive disorder perhaps)so I will give out the address but will not expect an enraptured audience(its just dirt for pitys sake).

As winter decided to drop back in for a visit today we ignored the beach and took off for the bush. We had a lovely walk around the lake in the Botanic gardens of Booderee National Park. It was a trail we had never taken before and was very enjoyable. We came across a red-bellied black snake, but he got took off before we could get a good photo. They are venomous but non-aggressive. We also spotted a Satin Bower bird with this brilliant bower ready to attract his mate. School started back up after a great spring break last week. We had a very low key break which made it really relaxing. A few bike rides into Husky for ice-creams at the park, a visit from the Northcoasters, and a trip to the farm for Aunty Jos 50th made for a fantastic couple of weeks. Having problems posting images will seek advice from our guru this week.
