in the hills with my dog

Penny is used to spending some time up in the Yarra Ranges, and mostly hangs around in the house waiting for a chance to go out on a walk or a swim. And up there, the Yarra is usually clean, unlike its muddy lower reaches at Warringal Park in Heidelberg.



We usually cross the river at Warburton on the swinging bridge built by the Australian Army.





However, there is a home-grown attraction at our own place, now, because our neighbors have chooks - and they've situated the chicken run right beside our fence, just in the spot where the big branch fell from the mountain ash and crushed the top part of the fence.

Penny decided to sit and watch the chooks...



and watch...



and watch...



It's great to see her so calmly getting used to them, but until the fence is repaired, I won't be leaving her alone out there, that's for sure.

Penny is looking ever so lovely these days...and the Yarra is a beautiful backdrop for her.

This morning, I especially enjoyed learning a word that was new to me..."chook".

Teddy would have enjoyed watching the "chickens" too :)

Now it's time for a "chucky egg"!
Cheers...
