Climbing Trees
Escape out the cat door.
Min, Rose and Eugenia are getting out of the house.
Coral Bark Maple.
This is way more fun than tiptoeing around in a house full of sick Hittys!

Some kind of cedar.
The girls like the view from a cedar bough.

Araucaria.
Eugenia likes this tree from her homeland – Min and Rose think it is rather spiky.

Snacks in the flowering Plum.
The girls are glad to get out of the house – food tastes better outside!

Quimper Hittys 
Is that a Monkey Puzzle tree? I had one once, but it froze during a cold winter. Good thing the girls are all bundled up to stay warm!
Yes it is Araucaria araucana, the monkey puzzle tree.There are many of them outside in gardens in Victoria. Perhaps you had an Araucaria of a more delicate species, like Norfolk Pine, which is related, but unable to live outside in our climate. Or was it in a pot? If so maybe the roots froze.
Good to see some of the girls breaking out. I know getting out was the first thing on my priority list.
Fresh Air – m-m-m-m
Indeed. We jumped back to our normal, warm January weather this far south. It’s like heaven.
What in interesting group to sneak out the cat door. They must have been thoroughly fed up – I can see Min doing this at a drop of the hat, but Rose and Eugenia seem to normally be a bit more restrained. Looks like they had fun, no wild animal encounters with dogs or crows.
Or Cats!
Glad to see everyone getting back on their feet and out and about exploring again!
Yes it is good to feel health, energy and inspiration again!
