Plotting mischief :P

#271

A lovely Iris... I did ask Wombat not to pick it... I guess that's why he took the buds as well.

#270

Wombat trying to eat cheese through a straw...

#269

A very cheeky bird - Cracticus torquatus - the Grey Butcher Bird. He's waiting for someone to bring him a bit of meat, which he will take from your hand.

#268

Helping Daddy fix the sink.

#267

A work in progress - about time for a new pair of jeans. These ones keep falling around my ankles :P

#266

Baby apricots. At least we usually get to eat some of these when they ripen, though the birds and fruit bats feast as well :D

#265

Baby cherries! Each year I look fondly at them as they emerge and dream of them ripening, but there are never very many and each year the birds get to them first.

#264

Determined not to let a teething, grumpy baby prevent me from getting my exercise (for obvious reasons... MUST LOSE WEIGHT!).


It worked better than expected, from Munchkin's point of view, anyway. This will probably be the last time we use a baby carrier for Munchkin. He is getting TOO heavy!

#263

Boys at play.

#262

Baby grapefruits - in the making for next year.

#261

I have been really enjoying the grapefruit this year - but this is the very last one on the tree.

#260

The plum blossom has turned into baby plums.

#259

A sweet baby radish :D

#258

Wombat and the freshly sprouting vegetable garden. (The old stocking supported our baby rockmelon last season - until it was nibbled away to nothing - culprit unknown but deer or wallaby suspected.)

#257

Wombat's first self portrait - and first and only drawing of a human :D

#256

In an attempt to reduce clutter in the bedroom, I stored all the snuggle toys that weren't being regularly played with in one corner, out of the way. Munchkin found them and climbed in, pleased as punch.

He loves to play with softies...

But then big brother Wombat notices me taking a photo and wants in on the action...

and then, of course, he wants it all to himself.

#255

A pair of eagles.

#254

A misty morning.

#253

Strongest baby in the world :D (That's a 3kg dumbell set and he carried them around for most of the morning...)

#252

Wombat's playdough shark. (Love the smile!)

#251

Wind storms coat everything with a thick layer of red dust.

#250

A very tall, very spiky tree is blown over onto the garage.

#249

Photographic proof that sonic mosquito repellers do NOT work. LOL. (I got one as a gift with an ebay purchase.)

#248

A pair of bronzewings on our bird feeding tray. (Sorry it's a bit blurry - it was taken through our playroom window.)

#247

Munchkin enjoying the rollalong Monkey he got for his birthday from Auntie Steff & family.

#246

It's impossible to get a good photo of this... a gentle breeze is wafting drifts of plum blossom petals through the air like snow, and here is Wombat dancing in a "snow swirl".

#245

Plum blossom "snow"

#244

Wombat's drawing of a duck towing an eggshell trailer for its ducklings to ride in.

#243

It's hard enough having an awful haircut without having to put up with a bad hair day & hat hair as well :P
