Eleven babies!  They are gorgeous.  The ones that are hanging around close to my place only have four.  They are growing up so quickly and they have doubled in size since the photo I took only a couple of weeks ago.

Our resident duck is still visiting the pool every day.  Yesterday when I went outside it started swimming towards me so it must get fed by people down at the council park lakes.  I fed it a little bit but not much because I don't know if bread is bad for them.

Apparently wood ducks nest in trees quite a distance from water and have to march their little broods down to the nearest lake or wetland as soon as they are old enough. This family was so well oranised. One parent was leading the way and the other bringing up the rear to make sure no-one got left behind.

You would need a bit of team organisation for a brood of eleven.

they are gorgeous the little duckling families. Near where mum and dad live there is a wetlands, where they are often crossing the road

  love the foot peck She-ele, so  cute

I am presuming our son meant 40 Celsius.

We are putting his bedroom back together slowly................I need to patch his doona...............I noticed it had a rip in it when I got it off the line.

I was contacted on Ancestry by a distant cousin with some information about my great great grandmother.............apparently she had a sister who was sent out here too.............another convict for my collection.........................(and another trip to the cemetery too..........)

morning all 

nice and sunny here this morning... we are lucky to be where we are

It's a gorgeous morning here too Deb but rain forecast for later in the day.  

🙂

due to our reputation of 4 seasons in one day, it wouldn't surprise me if we get rain later too. Rainfall was down here last month apparently.  As long as we don't run out of water over summer again like we did a few years ago... I hated that
