October 2017

What month is this? October? Must be.................The Wisteria looks fantastic in the courtyard
The Pom Pom Tree looks like a Wedding Photo!
A huge big ugly tree most of the year and one we have thought of cutting down several times, but each Spring she puts on this display and we let it go another year!
Toggles , just showing off how huge and magnificent she is!
And Bruce......doing The Walk Of Shame......Every now and then (especially in Spring), Bruce bites me!!!  A sly twist and a nip on my leg or hand, wherever he thinks he can sneak one in when l'm not looking.When he does, l pick him up , tuck him under my arm and take him for a Walk of Shame.... He comes inside, he visits the chooks, the sheep, Geoff, anyone who is around at the time.. l tell them all what Bruce just did and what an ungrateful boy he is, and he doesn't realise  just how LUCKY he is that he doesn't end up in a big pot after doing what he just did!!! He sits in my arms and shivers .  Never moves a muscle.....When l finally take him back to the others he runs off and never says a word OR bites me again for a VERY long time...........until he forgets and he does The Walk of Shame all over again!!! One day he might learn.....
Such beautiful light this time of year....
And l was very privileged to see what is in fact one of the rarest cloud formations in the world  over our house in October! A wave cloud also known as a KelvinHelmholtz cloud.
It formed only briefly as l drove in from work one day. Very lucky!
Spring means Laminitis for the ponies so they get locked up in a small grassless paddock and get fed only hay. So each morning they head out from their yards.........
 
Although Maxie would rather Geoff DIDN'T wear a hat whilst he was around...
He reckons he looks much better without one!!
Maxie is Chief Hay Carrier............
 It makes him feel very important!
And he is always exceptionally well behaved and takes it very seriously....
Pushka showed me that FULL flexibility had returned to her back leg!!!
And the Cherry Tree put on its magnificent blossom display.
The garden slowly starts to wake up...
As does the vegie garden!
And it looks like l made another flower bed!!!
Why not!
Animals bask in the Sun...............so beautiful after a long cold Winter! 
And another weird cloud!
That went from white to a beautiful orange as the sun went down.
It looked like a baby seal!!!
Love Spring!
