Is that a wee leprechaun I see?
Some of our Muscovy ducks (the ducklings joined them yesterday) 🙂
Our bamboo forest (some would call it a windbreak 😉 )
A leprechaun house that fell out of a tree!
Our new Silkie rooster (Edgar Allen Poe) enjoying the company of his ladies (Snowy – the main gal, Vegemite, Henny Penny and Ms Eagle)
My newly established vege patch (tomatoes,oregano, basil, capsicum, eggplant, silver beet, chives, lettuce etc.,)

Love the new look, Gabrielle.

thanks Martin – I’m just experimenting but maybe I’ll keep this one (not sure yet) 😉

Nice look. But a new veg patch in Autumn? It’s all upside down over there 😉
March 18, 2013 at 8:20 pm
It is upside down – hahaha – Australia broke all heat records this summer and plants can burn in the heat of the day – we are in the subtropics and our autumn is probably like your summer – hahaha – a great time to plant veges (lots of sun and not much rain – we have bore water/ground water freely available) – in fact you can plant any time of year around here (though some times are better for some particular plants).

Lovely scenes.
We are also indulging in some planting – autumn is the idea time for some things.

It is 🙂 I will be expecting some photos colonialist! thankyou

How can I comment on paradise? Each picture is to dream for. I love bamboos and specially the music of the wind in the leaves.
You do not need protection around your patch of delicious vegetables?
March 19, 2013 at 9:25 am
Thanks Ben 🙂 Bamboo is wonderful and it does make some special music and magic – like the bamboo shoots are talking to each other. Nothing is eating my veges so far – maybe all the hares have drowned in the floods – there are no kangaroos here and I haven’t seen any possums – in Brisbane my vege patch would have been demolished by possums, but not around here – we will see and if there are problems I will get some netting 😉 fingers crossed

Love the photos of your place…if I tried to have an uncaged garden, it would only served to feed the bunnies and squirrels. 😉
March 19, 2013 at 9:28 am
Thanks Charles – not sure where all the bunnies have gone, but nothing is bothering my crop at the moment – maybe they were all flooded out of their warrens and have gone elsewhere – I haven’t seen the bandicoot around either – maybe there is just a lot of food elsewhere (that is not so close to a house) that they are hanging around.

It looks wonderful, Gabrielle. So much space! And I love your new bloggy look too. Makes me want to go to the theme shop and shop for a new dress too…
March 19, 2013 at 9:29 am
hahaha yes, it has been a long time since I changed themes – I might try a few out before I decide what to wear to the prom 😉
March 19, 2013 at 8:00 pm
That vege patch looks mighty good Gabe!
March 20, 2013 at 10:54 am
I’m looking forward to eating it all Graham 😉

Oh, it is such beautiful country, and the superb pics really are transportive! gorgeous rainbow, the veggie garden, the land reaching out – it’s a piece of paradise! And Happy Happiness Day too! x

Hi darl 🙂 Happy happiness day to you too tipota! You must come and visit Queensland – long way from Cape Cod but worth the trip – how’s those puddy tats going?
March 23, 2013 at 4:58 am
They are such funny little critters, I started a new blog about them – just in the beginning phase but when you have a chance, check them out! here

thanks Juliet – my favourite time of day 🙂

What a wonderful place to be – like your veggie patch, Gabe. My dreamed-of-veggie patch is just a highly fertilised weed patch at the moment!
March 31, 2013 at 11:40 am
haha – mine might yet turn out just like yours – wish it would just not rain for a month or so – veggie patches always start out with so much promise, until a miriad of problems come along to give us a headache and a tendency to avoid said crop 😉
