The conifers are doing well and the trees in the first paddock are flourishing. The birds are very active when the sun shines, or perhaps because I had been weeding. I wish I knew more about birds. The growth of trees, shrubs and perennials has been enormous. If a rose is not attacked by the possums, it flowers well.
Hydrangeas are also very effective, large flower heads, covering all the bush.
We have Billy who travels up and down with us. Billy, as a tiny, black kitten, walked out from the old barn. We are not sure if she was Rosie s last kitten, as Rosie had to be put to sleep only a few days later. Peacocks are, as usual, having lots of chicks but only a few chicks making it. Some of the original peacocks may have died, though we still have the two white cocks.
