This is something that has been put to me by the Entemological Society of Victoria as a project on the parcel of land we lease for our Goat Farm at Little River. I cannot tell you how excited Mia is at this idea. Hubby says that, of late, when he is working down on the farm, there are loads of Praying Mantis' that are "Really friendly" as he burns back the dreadful weed Serrated Tussock. There are plentiful birds and moths and Praying Mantis. I am sure they all go together right? Birds eat the moths, moths attract the birds..... yadda yadda.
Mia keeps on asking me, "Mum, when am I going to University to study Entemology?" Well now, they will be coming to us! Woot.
Other things to share with you, my friends. Tomas is enjoying his Army Cadets. Next week is Athletics carnival and he will be running his favorite 100metre and 200metre races.
Nicholas is coming along just lovely with his guitar lessons. I never grow tired of hearing him play that acousitc guitar!
Sarah is loving Grade 5 and soon goes on school camp. The cooler weather is approaching so she has packed some warm clothing for her camp.
Mia's reading has advanced in leaps and bounds proving that persistence pays off. I am SO proud of her!
Hubby, in between full time work in the CBD he is Full time farming too! If I won Tattslotto I would retire him to the farm and I would continue to work a few days a week... because I love it!!!
Life sounds full yet satisfying - thanks so much for sharing what you do :)
ReplyDeleteso what are they going to do with all the bugs they trap?
ReplyDeleteYou sound very content. So pleased for you :)
Heya Mal, looks like life just keeps on getting busier right? You, too, are extra busy. I am skipping around happily for you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Beet, thanks for stopping by. I have to ask them what it is we will be doing. My Mia will be collecting a few of the moths and entering diagrams and images of them in her diary. She will attempt to name all their "bits" ~ I believe the society can help her with that :)
Guys.. I gave a question. I was playing around with my blog a few months ago and, regrettably, I wiped something out that I did not intend to.
I want to put back the list of posts, under the month to month, on the side bar as it was. Please help :) xoxoxo Cazzie :)
Sounds like life is good down under. blogger has been changing things around and I am not sure how anything works anymore. it is a bit frustrating. I don't do well when they change my technology.
ReplyDeleteSame here Mom. Facebook has changed too.
ReplyDeleteI just love hearing about you and yours. What a life you are having. Can you tell ,e now I am here how do I find out about the names about here - lots of Hoppers - such as Hoppers crossing and hoppers lane do you know the history?
ReplyDeleteI think it is very exciting that Mia has found this interest. She, and all the family, are so lucky to have you as their inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel, if you won the lottery you'd still want to work 2 or 3 days a week. I get such enjoyment volunteering two days a week at the Free Care Clinic and it keeps me up to date with the medical stuff, after working for 23 years in the ER(Clerical end ... not nursing.)
