Another view over the back fence, just as the light was fading for the day. Just past the line of slightly longer grass in the distance is where we have occasionally seen a small mob of kangaroos.
An occasional visitor! This is an Eastern Rosella and, wish as I may, the little blighter would not turn side-on to the camera so I could photograph his/her glorious colours. So you will have to make do with a back view, but if you click on the pic to enlarge it you can see the colours a little closer. Red head, yellow and black back feathers, green under the wings, and a blue chest which you can't see.
I don't think these alpacas are wild, aren't they gorgeous? Mum and offspring I think, with a white friend just poking its nose in too. One of the pics I took on our visit to the alpaca farm a couple of weeks ago. They all had eyelashes to die for. I have never had lashes like theirs.......it's not fair, is it?Today a wallaby visited the reserve in the middle of the day - just one on its own. I didn't take a picture because it was a bit far away for a clear photo, it would have looked like a rock in the grass.
The unpacking is continuing. All the furniture is in place in all the rooms, even the cupboards have been moved into my sewing room. Kevin found that, if he took off the doors and removed the shelves, that the outer shell wasn't very difficult to move, so he did. Then he reassembled the cupboards and I am slowly filling them. Eventually the wombats will be unpacked too, so we will be able to go back to having a wombat each week until all have had their turn on the blog. Unpacking is made more interesting by the fact that the written label on a box doesn't always bear any resemblance to what is actually in the box.
The table runner that I am making is also proceeding, all the blocks have been made and pinned into rows. It is looking very pretty! Hopefully tomorrow the rows may be constructed, in between going to the library and unpacking a little more. Perhaps I will find the little tin box of sewing machine feet........and my etiquette book........
Have a lovely week!
