High Winds

Great excitement when we got up this morning. The extreme winds during the night had removed a very large branch from one of our favourite gum trees (so large, my son thought a tree had keeled over in the night when he looked out his window in the morning).

Irkutsk, as wry as ever, noted to Im that her desire for a tree cubby had been granted in the night... "Go play"

Indeed, the children frolicked in the tree below and the cockatoos found plenty to nourish them in the tree wound overhead.
