The trouble with simple living is that, though it can be joyful, rich, and creative, it isn't simple. ~Doris Janzen Longacre

A few pics of the flood in our area, nothing like up in Brisbane and the rest of Queensland. It reached the 2mtr mark judging from the bit of debris on the 2 mtr mark.


The flood waters covered this bridge, I took this pic 2 days ago and yesterday morning the road was reopened.


Check those trees how flat they been pushed.


Paris 2000, that's their name unless there's some other fancy name for them. The perfume, you just won't believe it. When I bought them at Bunnings, a woman actually stopped me to call her Mom to come smell them lol.


Nilo how could we have a Rose cottage without roses, I planted 4 in front of the fence to form a hedge, they get to about 80cm high. We extended the fence by another 2 posts before turning, now that gap in the middle, is not that we ran out of rails but for the driveway to the new carport. (when ever that gets put up)


Our nightly visitors, other one took off, they rather enjoy peaches and bananas.


This is Maggie the magpie, sharing a little weetpix, she was hand raised and released from what I have heard.


Just had to get a pic of George driving the ride on into the trailer, your got to duck a little!


View from the road, we left after 2 pm this afternoon and got here very late. Tomorrow is work so it's up at 4am again. It's bedtime for me, so see ya all
