Taking a dip!
Two of the geese flew off, but these two love birds stayed to take a dip in the pond for a while....
Sunday morning visitors...
One landed on the roof this morning.......I guess we'll call him Rudolph.....
Susannahs miracle......
Susannah grew this little at school. It wasn't well looked after and it has come close to death numerous times. This morning though it's flowering with two perfect little yellow flowers! Even Susie can't believe it is still alive :)
The caterpillars - day 6
Today is our sixth day for having the butterfly larvae. The information says that it takes 5 - 14 days for the larvae to crawl to the top of the vials and attach themselves and hang ready to start forming a chrysalis, but when we got up this morning, we found that several caterpillars had already started to hang from their lids, so we decided today we should add the little squares of paper for them to stick to.
The paper makes it easier for you to move them to their next home ready for them to come out as butterflies :)
A helped me clean the vials out (all that webbing and poop - YUCK!!) add more food and add the paper squares before replacing the lids. We carefully took the caterpillars out and took their pictures with a penny to show how big they are now - wow they grow so fast! They weren't much bigger than a grain of rice on Monday! Less than a week later and look how long they are!!!
We use a soft artists paint brush to carefully brush them clean of webbing and poop!
So now we just wait for them to turn into chrysalis's and then we move them into our old aquarium ready for them to turn into the beautiful Painted Lady butterflies they were meant to be :)
On Friday I bought a copy of Eric Carles 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar for S. A has been enjoying reading it to S each day :)

ice cream thief
While I was painting my hive outside, and Lloyd was gardening, Sam crept inside and came out with a tub of ice cream from the freezer!!!! He was so proud of himself and cheerily walked around eating his ice cream straight from the tub!!!!
For Tanya......and everyone :)
A little video of our horny little chaps for you to enjoy....Here they are impressing their mates and enjoying the evening sunshine!
For those of you elsewhere...this is the noise we fall asleep to on early Summer nights :) I love it :) It's the true sound of Summer for us! And to think these frogs survive our winters by freezing like popsicles!!! Amazing!!!
Anyway - turn up the volume and enjoy!!!
housey stuff
Spent this morning doing renovation errands - head over to our renovations blog to find out more......
Yesterday I was in town getting gifts for birthday party gifts for parties Chris and Susannah are attending today. Susie is swimming for a few hours this afternoon - her friends family have rented the entire pool for the evening - geeez and I have my parties here at home lol!
Chris is off to the movies for his party and sleeping over at a friends tonight!
Laurie is fed up as he canceled a sleepover at the twins house because he was supposed to go drag racing with some friends and now the drag racing is canceled and he wishes he had gone to the twins house instead :( so now he is bored and having to come with us to Home Depots and stuff instead :( So I think maybe we will head to DQ or something to cheer him up - and maybe to look at some dirt bikes for a while!
While I was in town yesterday I ran into two friends - one was an old neighbour who I hadn't seen since I had moved - we didn't know each other that well so we didn't stay in touch but it was nice to catch up. She had known Christie though which was quite funny - small world! LONG story!
I also ran into a friend I knew from PL and we stood chatting about things at PL and how disgusted we are about the whole thing there (another LONG story) - the whole thing leaves a very sour taste on my tongue :( And makes me feel happy that everyone feels very strongly about someone who means so much to me :) 'S' I hope you know how much everyone loves you :) I hope you know the rest of them are just jealous!!!! I'm sure thats what its all about. Anyway 'nuff said :(
Today is all about running about. Housey stuff, kids parties and errands and their social lives and finishing touches to my hive and getting that into place.....rush rush rush.
Tomorrow is about hanging my hummingbird feeders, finishing the garden in prep for the dirt to be delivered on Monday.
Oh and by the way I am LOVING this weather :)
LOVING it :)

crouching in the woods
Last night we were to be found crouching in the woods midst the cobwebs and porcupine poop watching the male Grouse court his female with a VERY impressive drumming rendition :)
We could hear his drumming from our house yet the grouse was two woods away!!! Poor Susie thought it was someone trying to start up their quad!!!
We're going to go back up tonight with the video camera to try and catch him on camera :)
And just for Tanya we wil try can catch those horny frogs in action too :)
Oh the things those horny boys do to get us ladies interested ;)
