I was finally able to take a (somewhat fuzzy) photo of our Warou (Welcome Swallow) chicks. The nest has been constructed in our new barn and we knew there were four eggs. They've grown quickly!

Bounteous avocado. Carrying both this year's and next year's fruit.

I spotted this lovely creature on an avocado leaf in my garden. It’s not a I’ve seen before, and I was attracted by its appearance; its costume reminds me of delicately folded white tissue paper embroidered with a soft gold fibre. According to , this is the Native Cranberry Moth, Poecilasthena pulchraria, and was first observed in New Zealand in 1843. It is found both here and in Australia.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so we dug up some of the new potatoes. Don't they look incredible?

I just realised that it's not only my pathway that looks out of control. 😂
