art gesture sunday - week 41...

a wet week 

 Encyclopaedia Britannica and Sams Creek

 

small boot poised

a leap of knowledge

a leap of faith

(a leap of creek)

...

snakes alive...

found

 beside the chook pen

a reminder to always keep your eyes open

safe inside the house a less deadly creature also keeps growing and growing....

(its now nudging just over 4m in length...) 

the long slow work passing in a purple haze....

"Honey-honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey-honey"

Meet our newest creek resident

Honey...

Honey is just 8 weeks old -
she's a yellow (aka cream) kelpie 

(yes there is such a thing..... I didn't know this until a few weeks ago!)

Honey was chosen this morning from a litter of 4 pups

and given her name by our sassy-boy 

to be his very own working dog

 it was love at first sight 

 first hugs in a new home

 first puppy meal made by sass

first sight of the other very big dogs of the creek

(oooooo GOODNESS!)

first hugs of reassurance

 first steps alone into a big new (slightly wet) world

 first sleep in a new home

(snuggled between sassy's boots on some of his old clothes

note the box decorations....) 

Hopefully this is the first day of a beautiful journey together

filled with ball games and frisbee and stick fetching

and bike rides and cow herding and doggie high jump

and swimming and running

and hugs and doggy kisses

welcome to the creek honey-honey

10 volume set Newnes 'Pictorial Knowledge'

between a swamp wallaby track 

and the banks of Sams Creek

....

sew and sew...

It's NSW school holidays

Holidays are when I get to do fun stuff with the kiddies - 

like learning to sew!

EJ wanted to sew a picture of a black cat

sass wanted to make a picture of a yellow kelpie 

(trying to conjure up the beast no doubt! 

he has been asking for months for a kelpie puppy of his own to train - oh save us!)

 

   

both kiddies spent happy hours working on their special project  

who needs a playstation
when you have a piece of fabric,
a needle and thread?

Spring Equinox

one black book, one white book, one alarm clock
