Foxgloves and Things

A damp misty Tasmanian morning. Lovely. The foxgloves are just about finished which is good as once they are gone l will be digging them all up out of the paddock as they really are quite a toxic plant for animals. They don't seem to touch them (nor do all the wallabies) but l would rather they weren't there beautiful as they may be!.

Meet a funny little new addition to the household! Mum gave it to us the other day. It is solar powered and when the sun is shining it happily dances away in its little colourful pot! In the mornings it still smiling but still as a statue but by mid afternoon its dancing merrily away into the late evening! Really cute!

It was a warm night last night (for Tassie!) so Geoff and l lit up the Bush Pig (our bbq!) put some kero lamps in the Walnut Tree, covered the table with candles and had a lovely evening sitting outside in the absolute silence! No cars doing burnouts, no neighbours.. nothing!Bliss!

To top off our evening we witnessed a spectacular Aurora Australis. Not quite as spectacular as the one shown below but lots of green murky lights and flashlights of colour across the skies.It was stunning.

Today however has been very wet. And now our front gate is finished l got home from work this afternoon to find a whole bunch of wet sheep in the driveway. (hopefully eating all the grass!!)

They didn't seem terribly impressed and hurriedly shot into the lean to shelter when Geoff opened the gate. l think they are still too freshly shorn to not be worried by rain!

Little lambs are doing well and out with the rest of the flock now albeit always a little behind!!
