In our Garden.....more iconic Australian animals


Mein Spatz has been busy bird watching lately.

The Kookaburra has always been important to me and often appear in a timely fashion when I need to be more mindful and reflective. Their laughing tells me to lighten-up....relax.....this too shall pass......trust yourself. 

There is a well known children's song in Australia Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.


I was so excited to read this post on Still parenting to see that our first foray into 'blog-gifting' was such a success.
A great start to my weekend.
 Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Back to visit ........ maybe he told his friends











    Our lovely visitor  the "Christmas Koala" (Mein Spatz's name for him) came to visit again. He was very calm and appeared to know he was safe here. He even took some young, fresh gum leaves from Vati's hand and had a drink out of the red bucket (that we had outside the pool fence hoping that he/they would not have to climb over the pool fence).

Our Front Garden


 We live in the foothills above Adelaide and have glorious views over the suburbs , City and towards the coast.



 With this luxury comes the seriousness of living in a high bush fire danger area. Recent hot weather(today is 42 degrees Celsius) brings home the reality the things could get bad very quickly. We have a fire plan in place. I go with Mein Spatz and Henry to a friends house in the city. Depending on the severity, Vati will stay to defend or come with us.
