OUR WORLD, Wild Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - Breeding Time


Tax time, one of the revolting realities of life that stress me out 
two personal returns as well as quarterly and annual farm tax!

I like to go a little early to see our accountant just so I can have
half an hour in the little Japanese garden on the way.

I was surprise to already see ducklings, this young pair of 
wood ducks had been busy.
The wood ducks are nesting on the farm as well, a good month 
before their usual time.

Can you see the bonus goldfish?

"Aren't we sweet?"


Dad seems to be in a bit of a flap but the family 
remain unconcerned


as I watched, it became apparent that their colouring 
was a little different - makes me think it's a pigeon pair.


 the dog and I enjoyed a little Zen moment before 
launching into the tax again.

OUR WORLD - A Zen Moment


Having to go into the metropolis to see our accountant about
our quarterly tax statement (not the greatest pleasure in life), 
I went a little early so I could spend 20 min.
 in the Japanese garden.


The day was muggy and hot and the light was scattered
and grey


yet, once you were inside, the gentle order and peace seeps 
into ones very soul


and makes a tremendous difference to one's day.


After such a short space of time, I left refreshed in body and soul.
Inner peace is such a wonderful commodity and guess what? 
Its free for the taking in just a few minutes.
