did you notice this?
In the last posted video of Diesel climbing the tree house ladder, you may have noticed this little 'creature' climbing the tree just above the ladder ...
Just in case you didn't, here is a closer look ...
a sweet gift from our Canadian friends for Braeden during their last visit ...

I heard him saying, "Now, you can just watch from there" ...
as he sat down to practice his piano, and I wondered who he was talking to ...
So I took a closer look ...
They look very interested and impressed wouldn't you say?
They sat there very quietly the whole way through the practice session. And I could have sworn I saw them nodding their appreciation at the end!

Now, on another note (!), I know this is absolutely the wrong way to sit at the piano ....
... but do just love this

oops
After church this morning, Patrick took us down to the beachfront to 'show us something'. It was very windy - not beach weather at all - so we knew it wasn't for a swim!
The boys ran ahead, and I heard some very excited shouts and exclamations
Wonder what they are looking at? .....
Hang on .... what's that in the water?
Could it be? .... It looks a lot like a ......
.... It is ... a grader!

.... It is ... a grader! Almost completely submerged in the sand and water!
Apparently the driver was moving some beach sand around near the top end of the beach at low tide, and then needed to get to the other side of the pier. Instead of going back, and around the top end of the pier, he thought he'd take a short cut and go around the front!! Obviously not taking into account that the beach sand is very soft right in front of the pier due to the constant flow of sand and water from underneath the pier!

The grader started sinking immediately, and then the more the driver tried to get the vehicle out of the sand, the deeper he sank into it!
Eventually he had to abandon it, and this is what it looks like now at high tide!
Mmmmm ... I'd love to see the insurance claim on this one!!
Patrick and the boys ran down for a quick photo in between the waves!
