Mornings at the Sanctuary

Very early this morning there was a huge thundershower that was so extremely exciting!  It stopped though in time for work to get started which I suppose is good. 

 After a huge group that seemed to be ordering loads of cappuccinos and coffee, I got to go check the sand pads for animal prints.  We had kangaroo and wallaby prints, which means so far there are no wild cats in the enclosure.

 I made it back to the visitor’s center just in time for the rain and thunder to start again!  People were ordering hot chocolates and chai lattes… I got the extras in a cup for myself.  Someone had lost their kangaroo crossing sign outside, so I casually walked out into the rain to go find it.  Didn’t take me long cause I am a pro at looking for things but I was a little upset I didn’t get wet.  It continues to rain here, that isn’t good for the bees I was supposed to help out with today in regards to harvesting their honey.  Maybe tomorrow if it is sunny the beekeeper Mic and I will do that.

These callayilies are a weed in Australia because they are absolutely everywhere!
