I love a bit of fairy gardening but I haven't quite re-established it at the new house. I located a box of all the bits and pieces and they are higgledy piggledy under a tree so far.
One of my jobs whet my appetite though....
I felt like one of the luckiest girls in the world yesterday when I was asked to display the new fairy range at a gift shop in town.
The little weather resistant painted houses have solar panels located in them and glow at night. What fun! Little meadow mats also bring little plots to life.
This is not how our "meadow" is looking however....
We've had lots of rain and the minor flooding turned a bit major as creeks backed up at culverts with log jams, paddock debris and general human rubbish. We have wild ducks flying in to swim and gorge on floating dead worms and snails.
Every morning I have to wade out to the rain gauge in my gumboots as we collect data for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The chooks spent the first night out rough as they became stranded from their quarters with the rapidly rising water. The sheep have found a high patch and have plenty of feed.
Now to find those fairies.....
Hope they stayed high and dry!

Oh, oh.. hope this sunny weather has dried you out enough before the next deluge. And the chickens. And the fairies..
