You can never have enough...

morning ladies Another grey start to the day.

We have a pair of fantails who come and go and suspect they nest nearby. The resident blackbird is loving all the mulch on the garden and I find it flicked all over the lawn each morning. We don't care, just love having the birds back. MrK spotted a thrush the other day too. We used to have a pair of thrushes living here as well but since Cyclone Gabrielle and the magpies moving in, we seem to have lost a lot of our permanent residents. Hopefully they will be back soon. He also spotted a pair of waxeyes and the swallows are semi back. And of course, our hawk keeps an eye on us all. She's a real beauty and looks quite young. Since the bird pest man has been taking out the magpies, the bird life is recovering nicely.

I might do a bit of weeding this morning, the gap where I ran out of mulch has quite a few thanks to the rain. It shouldn't take that long to do if I just get on with it and not dawdle along.

Lilith, it sounds like the new arrival will be thoroughly spoiled Our daughter's friend and her husband now have their baby after their very last egg, so their very last chance, came to fruition through IVF. I've never seen such happiness in a very long time.

Better get cracking, mrK and the Furry One are up and about and my coffee is finished.

Happy crafting
