RIP chookies

:( Yesterday what I can only assume was a fox, took our chickens. Rainbow is missing & Blue was frightened to death.

The boys took it really well but its so sad. I was so worried of this happening. I was keeping them in a small pet pen by the front of the house so (so I thought) they would be safe from any fox that might try & get them, I didn't think a fox would come up so close to the house. During the middle of the day I might add. During the night I was bringing them inside. At first i kicked myself for not putting the "lid" on top of the pen but I know that wouldn't have made a difference to the out come.
Chickens are very easily frightened to death & this is what would have happened anyway.

If it wasn't for one being missing I would have no idea what happened. So at least I can assume a fox is the culprit.

Not sure if I want to get any more. I really like chickens & ducks & I don't want to keep providing the fox with a free meal.

Vanessa Amorosi

You know, this girl has talent. She isn't someone I have really paid much attention too but I really like her new style.

I really like this song


This is another I like also



I think I will have to track down the album(s)

Amazing Women

I follow a blog by a one of the most amazingly strong women I have ever encounted. I have met her once & her lovely children. She was one of the ladies who helped me on my way to using MCN.
I first met her online via BellyBelly
Her name is Tiff. She is a mother, but no ordinary mother. Her journey to motherhood was much harder then most. Her story brings me to tears no matter how often I read it. She writes in her blog with such passion & shares her story, her life so openly. I love reading her posts, I check her blog daily, sometime more frequently then that. She takes amazing photos of her children. So many children too!
I strongly encourage you to read her blog. My Three ring circus

Another Women I am currently amazed by is yet another BellyBelly member. I have not met her in real life but its one of my goals. She has no blog that I follow but I look forward to her posts on the forums we both frequent. Her name is Maz. She has 4 children. Another mother who's journey in motherhood is harder then most.
Just recently her newest addition to the family was hospitalised with death a real possibility.
He is now home with his family once more but that doesn't mean Maz can rest easy, his future life is still uncertain. Only time will tell what damage was left by the demons that put him in hospital. Maz is also a work at home mum (with 4 kids, that in itself is amazing) Her work is here
How I would or could cope with the things these two women have been through, do go through every day is beyond me.

To both these women I take my hat off to you. You truly are an inspiration.
