Mulberry Time

My Mr6 has been sick.

But is feeling better so yesterday afternoon we went for a walk in the paddocks

We went to see our favourite red gum,we have been watching the Pacific Herons
carrying branches and sticks and reeds up there
building a nest and wanted some photos.

We found the nest, but the herons went somewhere else,
they are being elusive and we never see them when we go out with the camera.

It was a beautiful afternoonand Mr6 took his dog Miss Meggy, who took her ball

unfortunately it sank in the little dam

Mr10 was the brave one who went in to find itHe is a very tactile boy and just had to feel that lovely mud

He is also a very cheeky boy!

He decided it was rather nice and visited the next dam as well

where he washed the mud off ,
Mr6 wisely staying clear of all the splashing

We wandered back to our place and took some photos

this one is the boys " hide out"

Next stop was the mulberry trees
the boys soon began to enjoy its treasures

Mr6 had hardly eaten anything for 2 days

and the ripening of the mulberries is a highlight of the year here

he told us the mulberry trees were healing him

every mulberry was packed with healing vitamins

and he feasted

so did Mr10

and they were also the first thing Mr6 kept down in 2 days

so they must have been healing for him

He is feeling much brighter today, and slept well last night.
