The weather has been pretty ordinary today. Although the sun has been shining, the wind hasn’t let up for a minute, and the crystal clear valley is hazy again after being washed clean by Saturday’s storm.
I didn’t know what I would end up with today photo-wise, but tonight we had a very pretty sunset. Mind you, I didn’t stay outside long to take the photo, the wind was quite cold!
This afternoon I had a sweet little visitor again. Daddy magpie turned up with baby mags, and they both got stuck into the bird seed I had left out for the honeyeaters. They seemed to enjoy it too.
This baby is still very young, but it seems to be a confident flyer. I see it often flying around up high with its parents.
On Saturday afternoon – during the power outage we had, as it turned out – we had a kitchen designer here who made us an offer to replace the whole kitchen which we simply couldn’t refuse! They are booked up with new kitchen installations until February, but it seems from what we have been told that we will have a kitchen filled with tradesmen for a few days, and everything will be finished when they leave. That includes removing the old kitchen, replacing all the cupboards, installing the new rangehood and range cooker – everything! So I’m pretty excited about that. 🙂

Oh how exciting about your kitchen!! That is really something to look forward to! Maybe one of these years the contractor will start working on ours…

Oh I do hope so, Kathy. ❤
Yours is the original kitchen too, isn't it? I have never been completely happy with my kitchen so I'm really looking forward to February.

Yes … it won’t be fun trying to prepare food without a kitchen, but it’s a sacrifice I’m prepared to make! 😉

Your new kitchen sounds so exciting! I love the pictures you got of the father magpie feeding his offspring. Amazing photos, Joanne!

Thank you Barbara. I’ve been fortunate to have a few visits from the baby now. He/she looks warily at me, but follows its parents lead and stays even when I’m near. 🙂
