Part of the privacy fence blew down....
So, we had Maarten take it down... Beaut sunny day, no wind. Will probably replace it with evergreen shrubs It was old and pretty rotten and an eyesore. Can't burn it in the fireplace as the wood was pressure treated with toxic chemicals.
Kangaroos ? In Holland, nah, little wallabies
Hit this link first.... https://m.facebook.com/200868617006228/posts/738796606546757/?sfnsn=mo https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/australianz/australias-famously-buff-kangaroo-roger-dies-aged-12 Not really like the video. Roger was over 2m and about 90kg and could crush a metal bucket. But many Dutch do have pet wallabies in their yards. Wallabies are smaller about the size of a large dog. Riding around by bicycle you will see many small pets in the country, miniature horses, pigs, goats, peacocks, Guinea fowl, fancy chooks, etc. in country paddocks.
The Romans were there.....

The water in the rivers, creeks, canals, irrigation ditches is rising from the snow in the alps and the mountains in the east. Maarten reports that these bulbs have already popped up. Don't know if they were planted or just left by previous owner. We planted dozens in the yard in November. It will be surprising to see where and when they come up.

It has a wheelchair ramp and has not been vandalized, or covered with graffiti. Weatherstone in Holland......... The weatherstones in the Bahamas are similar, but, hung on a rope....if it's gone it is a hurricane. There are no hurricanes in Holland, but some storm winds can blow 80 mph, that's equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane.

The Lyrics Waltzing Matilda Lyrics Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his 'Billy' boiled, 'You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me.' Chorus: Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his 'Billy' boiled, 'You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me.' Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag, 'You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me.' (Chorus) Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred. Down came the troopers, one, two, and three. 'Whose is...
