It was raining when I got up this morning, not what I was expecting. I sat inside in the dry and made a pot of tea, not all that enthusiastic to go out! Bo was barking and then Petra started, I couldn’t really put it off any longer, so out I went. I left Holly’s…
Day 32 – 26/04/2020
What a cracker of a morning! Daylight emerged from the darkness, shaking off her dark cloak to reveal clear blue sky, the trees standing tall, sentries on guard to welcome in the new day. My steps were bouncy and full of energy as the dogs and I set off. There were lots of scents to…
Day 31 – 25/04/2020
Greeting to you, reader of my blog, on this ANZAC day. I heard today that it is 101 years since the first time Australian and New Zealand soldiers were called ANZACs. I respectfully acknowledge the amazing men and women who have gone to war and endeavored to make the world a better place. Thank you….
Day 30 – 24/04/2020
We had lovely morning, the promise of a good day. The dogs and I walked Holly down the hill and took her to the beehive paddock. The sheep have already eaten out the pick of the grass but plenty left for a horse! She had her head down and was eating happily as we left…
Day 29 – 23/04/2020
Today was grey and cloudy, but not too cold. Perfect for a good walk around our loop track. I fed Holly and set off to move her fence. It is her last break where she is and tomorrow I will need to put her in a fresh paddock. Laurie moved the sheep yesterday and they…
Day 28 – 22/04/2020
Today started off grey and overcast after a night of clear skies and bright stars. At least it was warm and for the second day running I didn’t need any wet weather gear. I did the same old! Wandered down the track with our dogs after giving Holly her nuts. She broke her cover the…
Day 27 – 21/04/2020
I had thought we might have had our first frost this morning. But no, just a heavy dew. It wasn’t too cold, just fresh as I headed off for my morning routine. You could tell it was going to be a nice day, with the promise of sunshine. It was such a relief not to…
Day 26 – 20/04/2020
We have had quite a bit of rain over the last few days. On our place, previously unknown water channels become fast flowing creeks. Walking round the tracks you can hear the water gushing and gurgling as it forms small creeks that find their way to lower land, into bigger creeks and eventually into the…
Day 25 – 19/04/2020
What a ferocious night we had last night! Wind, rain, lightning and thunder. Once I woke up with lightning flashing and before it had finished the thunder boomed, seemingly above our bedroom. Man it was loud! It was nice to snuggle under the covers and go back to sleep. By the time I got up…
Day 24 – 18/04/2020
Wow, I almost forgot to write tonight! It’s been one of those days and now I’m running late! This morning when I woke up just before 6:30 am, there was a full on lightning and thunder storm outside. It didn’t really make me feel like getting up, so I snuggled under the covers…
