Diggers for sale


There's a business on the corner of this road that sells diggers and other road working equipment. Quite often we see a group of wild goats in amongst the rocks - they wander around town eating grass, last time I saw them they had some babies with them - so cute.

Baby goats are really cute. We see a few around here as our wild herd passes through.

Reminds of my Niece shortly before she turned 3.
I asked what she would like for her Birthday. "An ant".
Who the heck knows such diggers are called "ant"?!!!! I bought her a magnifier with a container attached so she can "study ants".
Qualified myself for stupid aunt...

I'd like to rent one for an afternoon just to dig holes and fill them back in.

I have a couple of great-grandsons who would love that place. One of them dressed up like a digger (backhoe) for Halloween last year. (three year old). I couldn't see the goats. Was I supposed to be able to?

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
