PS It HAS stopped raining. Thats because we have the new tanks.

Welcome to waterfall Road sculpture and monument for the elevation of the chooks. A visit from Billy always results in more " entertainment" for the chooks. Billy is so sure their life is boring without the various creative objects he periodically supplies them, that our yard forever changes. My concern is how I will ever be able to replace these rocks in the heap by the shed. Still, he is happy and they dont object.
They do, however object to the latest feed I got from the Woombye farm supplies. It is strewn far and wide. No wonder the brush turkey and currawongs visit so often.
The weather is changing and so are the birds. More currawongs and Kookas, and fewer Flying foxes. I wonder where they go. The baby butchers are terrified of the currawongs, ( as I would be, given the disparity in size) but they ( babies )are faithful and hide on the back verandah, periodically calling us with beautiful song. I swear one would come inside if the screen door were left open.
