No flowers in our garden - just a kangaroo and a rabbit

Yesterday, our slightly tame kangaroo hung around the house again and ended up taking an afternoon nap in the sun in the round garden outside the lounge window. A baby rabbit decided to sit in the sun too. I’ve put a ring around him as he is a bit hard to see otherwise.
I spent a couple of hours burning leaf litter, trying to lessen the fire hazard when summer arrives. I have slacks and a top that I’ve worn both days while burning and I’ll wear them again later today. They smell of smoke so once I’ve finished burning, they’ll get washed. It saves having three or four outfits all smelling of smoke.

That's cool the kangaroo comes that close. Looks like it's really sleeping

@FayeHazel The aggressive ones (almost always big males) make the news and the YouTube clips but mostly they're very timid. Once the males lose their fear of humans it's a different story.

@JudyEv Aw cute! Sounds really docile. And here for some reason I had assumed they were aggressive

aw, sweet! i love when critters feel comfy 'nough to take'p residence. i finally saw a cottontail here yesterday, actually 2. 've not seen one all year, so 'twas a pleasant surprise. too many ferals, so they no longer nest anywhere near.
yepperz, why use clean clothin' fer such a task? i do the same with weed pullin' 'n corral cleanin'.

@crazyhorseladycx Before phones, when visitors just turned up at the door, my Mum might rush off to change. Certainly she'd take off her apron and try to find some shoes!!

They are lovely and gentle visitors there in your gardenAnd I have plenty of flowers right now here and I am enjoying birds, bees and butterflies paying a visit. Have not seen monkeys in months and that makes me and my garden happy

@JudyEv I am very scared of them. I will just leave the place swiftly if I spot them. Husband is the fearless one and he tries to chase them.

You know an usual day in western Australia, sunny day outside, getting some things done around, and yes a kangaroo taking a nap outside the house. It must be fun living there, I have no doubt!

I didn't expect the rabbit to stay there for long but he must have been enjoying the last of the sun.

I often wear the same clothes a couple of days when I am at home for that reason.

@JudyEv I will wear one outfit working outside and another relaxing in the house. Still have 2 to wash. But thats better than 4 or 5 for just a couple of days going no where. Mostly wear my sweats anyways.

I love the way kangaroos just lounge around your property. For us in the US, we'd be amazed!
