Just back from a #dinner #picnic high on a hill, under the shade of trees & enjoying a cool breeze.

As I write this, it’s 41Β° here. πŸ₯΅

We ate the wattle seed damper I made this afternoon topped with plum jam & drank some very cold soft drinks.

About all we could tolerate in the heat.

Arrived to one of the neighbour kids wanting to tell us how he saw a #brownSnake twice while we were out, near the lucerne bales.

Feeding the #alpacas & #sheep in the morning will be - interesting. 🐍🐍

Snake sighting near Wandong Primary School

WANDONG, VIC. β€” A snake, believed to be a copperhead but potentially a brown snake, has been reported across the road from Wandong Primary School near the rail bridge.

While checking the sheep, I almost stepped on this danger noodle in the paddock while his/her nope-rope friend watched on. Quite the adrenaline rush. Lucky they saw me first.

@spacelizard Jerry's cousin did a quick change in the paddock this week - glad I only came across the old outfit #BrownSnake
This big fella must have a shiny new suit.
I'm glad I only found his old clobber.
Border collie dog for scale.

Wildlife at the new lease block:
- Roo with a view
- #Magpies warbled their appreciation of the new fence
- #BrownSnake today poked her head up yesterday but too cold today (no photo - I give nope-ropes a wide berth).
This lil' guy was not happy with my decision to mow the lawn.
