Down here, or just anywhere here in New Zealand, different parts of our country are in different levels of lockdown .Families have struggled to juggle working at home, with younger and older children doing lessons online, making use of every available item to use as a desk, from the kitchen table to the ironing board for a laptop support. Click and collect grocery shopping for some, small businesses struggling to stay afloat, masks and clicking your mobile phone as you enter any shop is the way for us all. QR codes are displayed at all front doors.
New homes are still being built, and one family looked at the brand new one, stained a lovely brown, but decided as it was too near a local cemetery, and quite secluded, so they moved on and looked elsewhere. Their new family would arrive very soon, so the pressure was on to find that new residence.
The Mum and Dad found one with a lovely garden, and if a strict lockdown happened, they would have a first class view of the street, seeing all the activity as people strolled by .
They settled in, and the twins will soon be able to look out the front window.
Meantime down south, the stray cat decided the hen house and warm feathers were a safe and secure home, and about 9 days ago, her family arrived. A friend wants two to be hidden inside a handbag and flown up here, she chose a tabby and, naturally, the ginger boy. I am sure they will all stay south, and be sure of safety and security, even for our feline friends.

What a lovely post. Just love the birds nesting in your letter box and the resourceful postie carefully placing your mail as well as the kittens in the hen's nest.
Trust you are both keeping well. Goodness knows what Christmas will bring. Keep safe.
Your current situation sounds familiar. With a high double vaccination rate, we are slowly coming out of it. Take care!
Things are loosening around here, but after seeing the thousands of young halloween celebrating youngsters early Monday morning, I wonder if we will be again tossed back in quarantine. Though tired of continual zooming, I am grateful our widespread family can keep together. Stay safe.
Hello,
Love the cute photos of the bird's nest and the kittens. The flowers are beautiful. We are adapting here too. I am glad you are safe and well.
Take care, have a great day and week ahead.
We enjoyed watching a Kalij pheasant family this spring and summer. The parents have successfully raised 2 healthy new females and we delighted in watching them grow. Sounds like you are fully enjoying the nature around you, too.
We just visited with my in-laws for the first time in 19 months. It was so good to see them. My husband and I are quite lucky to be so content at home with one another, but being separated from family we love so dearly for so long has been hard. Sending you love from across the Pacific!
High dog here today as we got repairs done on our pickup truck. Masking when going in business, but glad that we can get out. Winter is on the way here in the United states of America. Appreciate your flower pictures &the families of kittens and birds.
Hugs to your mail carrier for being so careful and understanding about the bird nest! How precious the little family of kittens are! Stay safe through this ongoing pandemic. Wishing you wonderful November days!
Covid certainly changed our lives. We now have our booster shots, and I must say that many people are going without masks. I still wear one when going into a shop but am fortunate to go without at home. Stay well!
I has been terribly difficult, I know.
I love your box! I gues they did, too.
Take care, Jean! xx
It has been so hard not seeing people. We did see family in June and am hoping to see people in December. Our elderly dog may mean that my husband stays home, but I am not sure I love the idea, but I know time is precious. My aunt turns 85 this week and it feels wrong not to have a plan to see her.
I pray that your lockdown is eased soon and that you can see family in some way. Lovely little kittens!
Love this post Jean!!! Such a hoot about the letterbox - hope they'll have a good clean up before they leave! Oh those kitties are so sweet, I always love the tabbies, our first two cats here in NZ were tabbies.
Well, I guess time will tell how our Christmas will work out, up here we are in day - is it 80 or 81 - lockdown. We have been able to see our three. separately of course, socially distanced and outside in the back garden.
I hope all the kitties find good homes!
