An owl came by, swooped down and then either saw me or else realised that Witpoot was not a rabbit, back-pedaled and continued on its way. Owl-houses are definitely a must!Mad dog and Englishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767756978798658041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-54050759580879913962012-04-13T18:56:06.696+02:002012-04-13T18:56:06.696+02:00The house market is definitely not great at the mo...The house market is definitely not great at the moment, but there are always a few Gautengers willing to fork out the bucks for a good coastal property.

One just sold for about 10% less than it would have a few years ago. Buyers market. Frustrating to be sure. It WILL sell eventually Dani.

I have a skunk that is digging up my whole yard looking for those. It's always something, isn't it?Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
