EASTER

WHAT A LOVELY FOUR DAYS - sunny, luke and etta arrived on friday.    After an unexpected overnight visit from alan and meryl on their way to WA.  they stayed to meet etta and headed off.   i'm glad they got in a last visit even though i was completely out of it, having put an offer on a house just before i left torquay and then driving all day to get home with only a day to catch my breath.

ETTA is just a little dream

at an age where she's repeating everything we say in her own special way, busy all day exploring, playing, climbing - a highlight was putting out the 

bin, she loves a wheelie bin and i have such a long driveway :0)

i loved having etta climb up onto my bed in the
mornings for some quiet time with sunny and me

HOT CROSS BUNS

Lovely to have sunny here for four days too, we all had a relaxing weekend, luke and i both cooking.  We had a trip to perry sandhills, in to mildura to the markets, and of course the easter event in wenty, junction junk day.  sunny got a wonderful big plant, i think it's an elephant's ear. i got a funny old knitting book full of 1940's tea cosies.

etta loves a puddle

Wenty has the regatta every easter, we spent some time on the lawn watching the races

ah, the scary

Wenty easter

rabbit, always

lounging out

the front of 

the bakery

PERRY SANDHILLS, always a wonderful place 

to spend time

The day after sunny, luke and etta headed off it rained - all day and the next, beautiful soaking rain.  It washes old leaf litter into the river and causes this strange foam to appear.   It's been great this week to welcome back first one then two pelicans.  With Lake Eyre filling up and exploding into life they've choofed off up there for the past few months.  I hope they're all back soon, it feels half empty without them.
