It's  beautiful here at River Lodge in New Zealand. 

 The sun rises with golden warmth.  It's summer here while it's winter in the States.  Chuck has the prettiest yard I've ever seen, all 40 acres of it.    The river glistens like diamonds in the sunlight.

The mountains breathtaking in the evening shadows, exotic in shape.  The green trees, shrubs, and plants appear extra vivid in the New Zealand daylight.  Birds welcome the day, and sing until night time.  The air smells of life.  Walking on the grounds is like walking in a paradise garden.  Almost as good as walking in  the millennium.  Flowers burst with beauty.  Swallows swim through the air.  Glories sunsets shine on majestic clouds.  Sweet breezes make music through the rustling leaves.  Stars blaze brilliantly in the night sky.

 This paradise is home to a quail family, wild duck families, a blue crane family, and the fluffiest momma possum and her baby.  And more.  There's even a family of the  pet ducks and chicks living here.

They're the cutest and most delightful little things.  Henrietta is the mother hen.   Her eggs are delicious.  Shawn is the resident doggy.  He's adorable and loves his mistress.
