Our first snake


Steve found our first snake today. It was a lovely small eyed snake which was minding its own business under some old carpet I had put down months ago to kill some grass. I let it go in our new rainforest garden at the front gate. We saw 'our' wedgetailed eagles for the first time in a couple of months as well yesterday...they were soaring above us with their new fledgeling. They nest in the Jiggi Valley which is the next valley over from us.
We've had a very busy day today, trying to get the place looking OK before friends start ariving just after xmas. We started the day as we usually start our Saturdays by going to the farmers' market in Kyogle. A very glamorous Mrs Claus was sitting on her throne amongst the veges. I wish that I had taken our camera!
