September...

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by bird rescue to see if I would take on baby ducklings this year, so this weekend has seen us out picking up a couple of rabbit hutches - it was cheaper to buy them off trade me than for Lyall to build them. Having reared Grace last year, I've a far better idea of what I think will work, so we have two inside (the garage that is) cages, with hotties and towels, for when they are tiny ducklings, followed by a hutch outside for when they have waterproof feathers but are still little enough to get taken by falcons etc. Once they are big enough they can just go in the paddock with a couple of shelters and will self release when they are ready. They will not go in my bath this year LOL.

Lyall has made a couple of these - guess the chickens will use them till the ducks come along.


We often have balloons flying over/around but it's not that often you see two close together. Donna wondered if the AB'S were having a tiki tour, so I had to get a photo just in case ;-)

I have finished that layout that was half finished last week, and am about to upload it to Scrapbox, so can't show you for another week or so. Have started on another one, am most impressed with myself :-))))

As I updated Project Life today, I looked and thought about how we are rapidly heading towards the end of the year. One side of the album is much fuller than the other!

Am I doing it next year? Nope. I really have enjoyed project life, but there are weeks where I really struggle to find something to capture. If I did it next year, I think I would be put off it and find it a drag, and I don't want that to happen. And anyway next year is going to be really quiet, no earthquakes, snowstorms, floods,etc LOL.

Just had to put this photo up...the kids have had a big run around at the beach this morning, so have all found a place in the sun, for a wee nana nap. She's so cute :-)

Have a great week people.
