I have a creek too which floods wildly when it rains for a long time.

I have only had one snake here that Harry caught 😞

Thankfully he dropped it on demand and I was able to throw it back over the fence into the bush.  Poor thing was wounded and probably won't have lived.

Other than that between short grass, good fences, a ride on and two dogs, and blue tongue lizards I think the snakes give us a miss :^O

Good morning all. I have to get my garden (for the want of a better word) sorted very soon. I have just moved house and this has not been kept well. I live close to a creek and have been told that my place is a snake thoroughfare :_| The Buckwheat sisters, Beryl, Beverley, Bonnie and Beatrice will be arriving next weekend. If there is a boy in the mix I shall call him Bob. The Buckwheat sisters are guinea fowl. Named such because of the noise they make. They sound like they are saying buckwheat buckwheat buckwheat. They are not a snake's best friend and should lessen the the  snakes desire to wander through my yard.

What fun naming those girls and I do hope Bob arrives with them and that they enjoy keeping down the snakes... can we have a photo?????  I'd love to see them.

Gee Gilly,  I know of Ponderosa Pine, Norfolk Island Pine etc. but what's this Porcu Pine? 

ho ho Freshy:^O

Evening gerries-Channy mum--if there is a Bob

among that group---you will  have to keep

taking it to the vets--------to get the smile taken

from his face-lol.

Yes Freshy--picked that one..........................Richo.

OH hahahaha Richo :^O

Well, it's pretty quiet down this way today.  Did a big shop yesterday and am glad to put up my feet today....  of course if the sun comes out that might be different.

Yesterday was a perfect spring day.  16˚ with blue skies and a light breeze.  The wattles are out everywhere making a wonderful show.

Good morning all.  Just clocking on..

This is for the gals.....I have never picked up so much as a needle and thread in my life.  I just bought a simple sewing machine and I am going to make new curtains for my bedroom.  The sewing machine was half the price just  to have them made as one wall is completely glass.leading onto the deck.

I have spend two days reading the machiine instructions.....I  think I am avoiding actually starting the thing.........is it going to like me or be my enemy?  LOL.

Channys-Mum.  I have snakes here.  They hang around a pond in my mini rainforest.  I leave them alone and they leave me alone.

In the interest of all my critters, neither of my wee house dogs leave the deck without their leashes on.....I would not trust any dog with terrier in it.. In some situations no amount of domesticity can compete with genes and dna.

The only time I have found any around the house was a baby carpet snake sleeping on my deck..  And there is Monty Python, a 8-9 ft. diamond python who visits and is completely benign.  The first time I was visited by Monty....I was sitting on the deck having a cuppa with my arm on the top rail....saw Monty sliding along towards me....left my arm there to see what he would do and he crawled over it, up my shoulder, and went on his way.  I am careful not to have my little ones outside when Monty is around.  He can swallow a possum whole. .

Good afternoon  everyone:-)

Have you started on the curtains yet, Freshwater?

I went and picked up my new readfing and long distance glasses today.

The long distance ones are great, having trouble with the reading ones and the computer, had this problem last time, but not to this extent.

The joys of getting old.

Just back from lunch with the girls.  I had the deep fried mars bars for desert.  Yummo.

We then went to spotlight and come home with an armful of material.
