Off and running

Well, here is my first attempt at posting a blog!
Setting up the site was not as easy as expected but after much help from David we are finally up and running.
It rained a little (a very little) here this morning just enough to dampen the grass, hopefully there will be some more in a day or so.
We have a new addition to the garden. A kookaburra and his mate have set up a territory which includes the vegie garden and also the front verandah.
Lily, here is he sunning himself beside the birdbath. Every few minutes or so he flies off and dives onto a worm in the grass and then he gets back on his perch again and watches for something else to eat. The feathers on the top of his head all stick up as though he hasn't done his hair. I think we'll have to find a name for him. Do you have any suggestions? his mate is a bit timid so we don't see her so often.

Looks fantastic! I love it :)

Lily came up with 2 sets of names. The first are her favourite made up names - Sandry for the boy and Kaylee for the girl! Then I suggested we find some french ones so we came up with Étienne for the boy and Chloë for the girl.
