This chap was sitting outside our front door this morning. He let me get quite close with the camera - I think he was too scared to move!
Communicating with your Terrific Toddler, Even When It’s Hard

Those sweet months of snuggling your tiny helpless baby in your arms went
by in a flash, didn’t they? Now you have a spirited little person who is
moving...

I want a garden with bugs.. I am going to go out and find some!!!
Back in the dark ages, B4 TV, we @ the non-virtual Asquith used to listen to the radio a lot, and there was a children's show that featured someone called Gerald the Grasshopper. I was being taught to knit at that stage of my life ( by Guggy)and I knitted a scarf for Gerald to wear. I think Gerald must have been pretty impressed. I can't remember if he commented on it over the radio, but I was pretty impressed myself. Actually, I think Guggy did most of the knitting, but I claimed responsibility.
Did you actually send the scarf to Gerald? And was it an appropriate size for a grasshopper?
Yes,Al, I did send it and it was possibly an XXXL size, although at the time I thought it was smaller.
I keep trying to photograph Wallaby Bobble in the backyard but he/she just hops away. Wombles the Echidna also scurried off before I had a chance. And a coupla days ago there was a Peacock strutting around in the street !!! It was a brilliant green/blue with a long, feathered tail draping elagantly behind. As for the Lyrebirds, their familiar noises can be heard from time to time but they are very elusive.
Wow, you are living in a bit of a zoo there UD! Have you ever seen a peacock around there before?
No, but I read in the paper somewhere that a peacock had been sighted in the area. The writer was asking if anyone else had seen it or if it was just their imagination. I seem to remember seeing peacocks roaming around at the animal park adjacent to Wonderland. I'm not sure if they can fly but it got here somehow!
The Peafowl (_hen and _cock) is an Asiatic bird & is the national bird of India (thanx Wikipedia).
In Hungarian mythology, the peacock is the symbol of freedom. The Hungarian word for peacock is Pava.
