We have a baby kookaburra hanging around our neighbourhood at the moment. He and his parents spend a lot of time in the trees surrounding our yard. He is still learning to laugh, and sounds more like a very sickly chainsaw trying to start, rather than the familiar kookaburra laugh.

This morning he was carrying on continuously, and the kids went out to see if they could spot him. They came rushing back in to tell me that he was choking on a shoelace. Riiight. So I went out to take a look. Sitting on a branch was the proudest bird I have ever seen, proudly displaying a (very small) snake he'd caught all by himself. Obviously the noise was because he wanted us all to see how clever he is!

February ~ The Month of Love

Hearts and chocolate seem to be the symbols of love on Valentine's Day. And why not? Almost every woman I know loves chocolate, almost to the point of obsession! Which surely must of prompted this quote "Men cannot live on chocolate alone, but women sure can." (author unknown, but obviously a woman) It makes me smile when I read it. I've even been in work situations when a chocolate bar has been delivered to me, apparently to 'de-stress' me. . . Of course, it worked. It's just a fact that women adore chocolate.

For this Valentine's Day, we brought in the book; Chocolate Indulgences, and even some beautifully boxed decadently sweet scented chocolate lip glosses. She'll love either of them. We also have beautifully handmade cards for the perfect sentiment.

Make sure your love is shown on February 14th!

Twilight

I've been waiting for a clear day following a fresh snowstorm to take some night pictures.  I think they turned out nice.
