It's been an eventful day today! We had a lovely visit with Santa this morning, he was in fine form and so friendly. He gave the girls paper angel wings and chatted with them for ages. But someone was missing...
oh there he is! Bill wandered off looking for books but we found him and convinced him to have a photo. Char stayed home, she had her fair share of Santa photo's when she was little! The visit to Santa was so much fun and a nice distraction from a rather scary event this morning. I was out the back checking on the chickens, and having a cry about Henrietta, who didn't survive the night. Her injuries were too severe and she didn't make it. Poor chookie. I'm glad at least that she was back home and died quietly in the night, curled up in the straw in the chook pen. Anyway, I then found myself looking at my tomatoes and as I kneeled down to have a closer look this is what I saw...
...a snake caught up in the netting I had put over the vegies. Ahhh!!! I guess it hadn't been dead long and although I felt sorry for it I was also glad I hadn't come out a bit earlier, who knows what might have happened. This was a timely reminder that we live in the country and that we are entering snake season.
The kids all had a look and we went through what to do if they find a snake. Lets hope we don't see any more. I don't have anything against snakes but I'd rather they didn't visit our garden!
Guess what? There are four new bunnies in the shop!!
Do pop over and have a look, Freya is waiting to say hi!
And so is Angel, above.
Hope you are having a happy week, see you soon xo
