Sunshine and Rain

June has been a mixture of sunshine and rain.  The sunny days are spent romping on The Hill.  Rainy days are spent under cover safely indoors.

Bailey wouldn't be a very good woodpecker.

May Days

The whippets took advantage of the consistently good weather.

Their new friend is game but isn't quick enough to give them a real run, though Bailey adds his encouragement.

Their other favourite activity.

May Days

The weather has been nice for the first part of May and the whippets make the most of it on The Hill.

Being lazy on the deck.

Bailey shows off the flexible whippet hose nose.

The pair of flickers has returned to our yard for the 3rd year.  Definitely not a flexible whippet nose.

A Bit Warmer

It finally warmed up a bit so jackets aren't needed.  Bailey is preoccupied with investigating something while Deva puts in a good run .

Back home they're both into relaxation mode.

Making the Most of the Nuclear Winter

The whippets defy the minus double-digit wind chills.

The cold doesn't stop Deva from jumping in and getting a faceful of snow.

Snuggling in the (snow)fallout shelter.

(Still) Waiting for Spring

Bleah, more snow and storms forecast all weekend.

"You mean we have to go for this walk?"

Since it's 29 degrees C in Perth Australia, Deva does a kangaroo imitation to invoke warmer weather.

"OK, it's time to go back home now."

Cozy and warm at last.
