Lightning doesn't strike twice.

Apparently, a few years before we bought this home, it was struck by lightning. The lightning found some path of least resistance and travelled across wires and struck the lady next door. All the electricals were burnt out and had to be replaced. The lady next door literally lived to tell the tale.
How interesting is that?
So I'm feeling pretty safe and cosy right now as large amounts of rain, thunder and lightning churn and clash violently above our house. Yep. I am cosy and cool and not worried at all...not a bit..nada.

Possum Magic.

We had some cuddly visitors to our tree this week. I spotted them from the back deck during my morning viewing session of the wonder that is our Jacaranda tree. We are sure it was Grandma Poss and Hush passing through Brisbane looking for some pumpkin scones. I think they were caught in the storm as I'm pretty sure it is common knowledge in the animal kingdom that there isn't a lot of worthy baking that goes on at this address. Anyway, they have moved on again now. Probably down the road to our friends house, as there is often some pumpkin scones baking down that way.

Spring Has Sprung.

And here it is. The backyard beauty.
This must be one of the most beautiful colours in the world.

Of course photos don't do justice to it's beauty.
Take a close look and you can see the three crow's nexts in the photo above.
