MercedesLouise will again be at Balmain Markets this Saturday.
Mother’s day is coming fast, only 1 week! I asked my mother what she would like, she said “I want a bag that has a large pocket on the front for my journal to be in easy reach.” So I have started making up different designs for my mother to choose from.
One of our favourite places to relax around our home is the back porch. We have our resident Lorikeets that fly down each day for a snack followed by a Honey Eater. We have a possum who comes to visit from time to time and take up residence in the birdhouse which upsets the Lorikeets who squawk like mad trying to evict the poor possum. A Koookaburra sits on the fence in the afternoon enjoying the performance from them all waiting to see if we throw him some meat or chicken to feed on.
My favourite visitors are the Water Dragons, who lay around the edge of the pool soaking up the sun; occasionally they climb the trees and sometimes climb into the birdhouse and sun themselves on the feeding tray. So far the lorikeets have not discovered the water dragons in their house, I don’t know how they would take another visitor invading their house!! We throw small pieces of apple for the dragons to nibble on, they look so funny the way they walk on their legs running to grab their snack. I love watching the dragons swim in our pool, they dive to the bottom and glide back and forth or simply sit on the floor of the pool for hours before popping their heads above the water.
