Mother Nature at it's best

As mother nature is wrecking havoc on much of our country at the moment with devestating consequences, we today had the privellage of witnessing one of it's miracles.

To the boys absolute delight they witnessed the miracle of life with several chicks hatching from their eggs today. They were so excited to hear the pecking of the chicks within the eggs to seeing the chicks making their way out of the confinements of the egg. Then seeing a slimy skinny being quickly transforming into a very cute and fluffy chick. Very exciting stuff.


The brown lump behind the little chick is another chick emerging from the egg behind right of the chick.




A little ball of fluffy cuteness.

 On an another note. The kids and I attended our first market at Pambula. It was hot and long and rather unsuccessful. However I did have a lady from Yarram approach me who was interested in buying wholesale for her shop. She bought 3 bars of soap and gave me her details and she took mine. She said she would contact me after next week when she had finished holidaying. Fingers crossed that she will and order lots.

 Allyson is still having a wow of a time in Kansas and where ever else she has been. Grahame is away earning the bacon. Tim is out with the mates and going to play soccer this evening. On this overcast drizzly late afternoon Elliott and Harison are watching , as Harison thought it was called The Vegetarian Rabbit which is infact The Velveteen Rabbit. What a lovely movie, no smut no violence just pure family entertainment. So lovely that they don't need all that crappy modern day stuff to entertain them.
The other thing we did this morning was to go exploring our local area. So we headed off to Wolumla and of all places we explored was the local cemetry. Of course we had to find the oldest headstone which dated back to 1880. They concluded that there were no Moffitts left in the area as most of them appeared to be in the cemetry!
Now I'm off to make dinner. A yummy beef red curry with the beautiful grass fed beef we just took delivery of. If you are still eating the crap meat dished up at Woolies or Coles you don't know what your missing. Remember cows eat grass not grain. What's in your beef tonight besides beef??
