God I loooove holidays!

6 weeks are in front of me.

I'm SO pleased I did the mowing yesterday, half in the morning and the other half in the evening.

THe first half was interrupted as Itty Bitty needed to see a doctor after doing a back flip on a

half blown up matress and crunching down on his tailbone.

Showing off in front of big brother and his friends.

It's only bruised said the doctor.

Then we did some shopping!

The lawn is looking very parklike.

I've worked really hard on it this season.

(Dont mind the finger in the shot!)

And I've been mowing the surrounding paddock, trying to keep the snakes down.

I don't think they get much of a chance slithering over  wide open spaces.

The birds can easily spot them and get them when there is no where to hide.

I think this theory is working.

Well I like to believe this anyway.

We had a huge thunderstorm again last night, with more rain.

Miss MDK took these photos.

Building up.........

Then bang, looking like night has turned to day!
She took about 20 shots to get these 2, most were just black.
