Autumn is definitely here

April 2018

With the arrival of April comes the typical unpredictable autumn weather. 

The chooks snuggling up to the backdoor is always a sign that there is some rain out there, no matter how little.

I'm sure if I was to open the door they would quite matter of factly walk in and make themselves at home.

Here is Lucky telling them: Sorry ladies, I can't open this big door for you.

On one such rainy day, we get a break in the weather just as we're coming into Snug on our way home from Kingston.

We make the most of it and stop for a walk at the town end of the Snug River track.
We hadn't been here for a very long time. In fact, I think this may be the first time for Teepee.

Normally, we access the track from the bottom end, after visiting Elaine at the nursing home, to give the dogs a break before heading on to Kingston for appointments and shopping - and of course a walk at Kingston Beach.

It has quite a feel of rain forest about it, especially being so wet between showers.

Not so long ago, I had to have a truckload of water delivered. Now, the tank is filling up nicely - free of charge.

Undeterred, we take a walk whenever and wherever we can. Here are some pictures of Minnie Point, just down the road from home, where we often stop for a little while on the way into Cygnet.

Autumn time and rainy season is also the time for mushrooms. There are some very interesting specimens  popping up everywhere.

By the side of the bush track.

In the middle of the track.

And some even in my garden.

Autumn has definitely arrived in Tasmania.
