Default Pruning mint

Well I'm afraid I spoil the Bluey's who live on my garden too....they
soon found they could go through the laundry into the garage and then
into the house where they would wander at their own pace until they
found me. One day I was sitting here at my computer and had this
feeling someone was watching me, so I stopped typing and looked out the
window....no one there!! Went back to what I was doing and the feeling
returned....another peer out the window and still nothing. Then finally
I decided to wheel my chair a little further and look in the other
direction when all of a sudden the wheel came against something on the
floor and when I looked down here were two bluey's at my feet looking up
as if to say 'we are here Mum, where's our tucker?' Very smartly I
fitted a screen door between the garage and dining room but for the next
two weeks they used to sit there all day....the piles of dung as
evidence. That year they cost me a new freezer as they wintered near
the warm motor in the garage.

These days they wait outside the doors but still hang around waiting for
tidbits.

The Blueys that live in my garden poked their heads out on Sunday


for

the first time this season. They were waiting for the obligatory


bit of

chuck steak.



We used to have a bit of 4 inch aggie drainage pipe sticking out of
the ground in a previous house. In this pipe lived the fattest and
biggest Bluie I've ever seen. One day I caught my husband throwing
snails down into the pipe. When I asked him what he was doing he
looked a bit embarrassed and said he was feeding the Blue. He'd
apparently been doing it for about a year. No wonder the Bluie was so
big :-))


I haven't seen one yet. Still too cold.
