Drumstick lays 4 eggs and Bow peep & the Beer Fairy look for the missing sheep.

W

 I know this is not world breaking news to anyone but me but I  was so excited when I found 4 eggs in the garden I woke the beer fairy and almost rang my children but maybe no one else feels the same. I have never had anything to do with a chicken before so to me this was very exciting, I had scrambled eggs for lunch yesterday they were yummy, I had to share with the beer fairy. 

I was trying to take a close up of kidney, she wasn't happy about this.

and just wouldn't look at the camera.

Painting my terra cotta pots red

and replanting and dividing my brom's.

Now this is interesting drumstick likes milk, I always had a milk water mixture for Kidney but now she  has to get there first or the chicken get it.

Angus has been here for a couple of extra days this week as his people are moving into their new home.
The chicken has been shut in to the top garden,  Angus is very interested in her but she doesn't like him at all so best to keep them separated.

Angus and the beer fairy discussing world politics, I really should paint the shed, there were plants there and I painted around them.

I did clean my sun dial.

He is a pretty boy.

Here we have Bow Peep,  him and the Beer Fairy are poping down to his farm to look for the missing sheep 3 have turned but three are still missing.

I repainted some of the little men in the garden a couple more to go.

Not sure but think he is having a cap nap.

Now they are discussing world events or what they are having for breakfast.

well that's settled it's sausages and eggs.

RAIN at last update on what's happening.

 Well it's raining and has been for about 24 hours so that's great for the garden so I'm not complaining but it means only inside activities so that's why there are two posts in three days, there was a little break so I wondered out to take some photos.

 I have been in the process of painting my terra cotta pots red left over paint from the back door.

 The front fence is getting painted too but for some reason that's a slow process.

 Drumstick has no real home outside yet so she came into the laundry when the rain was heavy.

 I have two areas that I can put her when Angus is here, this is the clothes drying area but she does go in here so I don't think she likes this area.

 This is M&M's kennel when he stayed over so with a bit of modification it could be a little home for her as we don't use it any more and I was thinking of throwing it out. I will show you the creation when it's finished.

 She could live next to the compost pit and worm farm that would be bliss if you are a chicken.

 and this is the area she could run around in, I would like it if i was a hen.

 Next door this is as far as they have got, the owner lives in the brick house you see on the other side of the fence he was wetting the cement slab everyday so it didn't dry too quickly bet you he is glad it's raining. It's going to be a big house not much garden room there.

 My plumbago is just starting to flower, I have a blue and a white one, they do look lovely for quite a while when flowering.

 Vegs are coming along pretty well we are eating the silver beet now.

Drumstick is bored inside so she off to explore outside.

Visit from my son and Drumsticks the chicken.

It's very dry and hot, my son is down from Brisbane to work on his house mainly painting and finishing but we did go over to help put in new windows in the bathroom but I forgot to take the camera so I will take pictures next time I'm over there, this is morning and afternoon tea table.

So just a wonder round the garden to start with.

The vege garden is ready to plant out but just too hot a the moment.

At least the washing get dry very quickly

My daughter gave me these little wire birds.

And we trimmed a branch off the tree growing too close to the shed, the whole lot will have to go in the next couple of months.

We went out for dinner one night so I took a couple of pictures I remembered the camera this time blurry works for me now doesn't show the wrinkles, my daughter looks good all the time but me not so much.

This is the visiting son, hungary I think, been working hard.

And the beer fairy having a beer.

and of course my daughter guy.

This is Drumstick she just turned up the other day and so far hasn't left.

Not sure where she has come from, we live on a busy road so she hasn't come to far.

Kidney has introduced herself

She is giving her the tour around the place.

Now she is getting a invite to move in,

so she is checking out the yard.

and likes what she sees

Kidney is still showing her around

I have a cover of leaf litter so many insects and droped bird seed from Pidge so plenty of food

I have told the neighbours she is here so we will see if her owners turn up.
