Kookaburras on the line

We have a small family of kookaburras living on our property and sometimes you see them together. Here two of them survey our backyard from our washing line.

From my family to yours

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and that today is a day filled with love, joy, blessings and many good things.  No-one should be alone on a day like today so if you can, reach out to someone you know is alone, or if you are alone, I hope and pray that someone reaches out to you.

Our daughters and their husbands, and our beautiful grandson, will be sharing the evening meal with us today.

This photo was taken earlier this year of a King Parrot family on our driveway gate.  Aren’t they gorgeous?

Australian King Parrot

This pair were watching to see if I was putting out any more feed recently in our garden. These parrots don’t seem to be afraid, that is they’re used to having humans in close proximity. I know they hang around my neighbour’s deck out the back as he has a pet Corella living there and it’s on the second story so on tree top level. But they often visit our property too.

The one with the brilliant red is the male.

Beautiful roses

That time of year and the roses are budding – and they look beautiful in the spring rains too. The scents are beautiful.  I love exploring my garden every day.

Shadow in the daisies

This is our cat Shadow sitting in the long grass and miniature daisies.  He’d recently had an operation and was enjoying being outside. The grass was long because the ground was too wet to run the ride-on mower on without getting bogged. I don’t think our cats mind the long grass at all.

In this image, where Shadow is inspecting the grass before venturing onto it, you can see a glimpse of his shaved side.

Kozee Korner

On the old shed at the front of our property the words in this title of this post are carved in wood.  We’ve learnt bits and pieces of the history of our home from our elderly neighbour, who has been there for over 40 years and probably seen about 4 or 5 owners of our home in that time.  Interesting stories too, the further back they go.

Anyway, for some reason our house was named Kozee Korner so I found it also a suitable title for the image below, taken in our loungeroom one evening.
