Fog

Winter – oh the joys of frosty mornings. On this particular morning I was on my way to my friends house to pick up my kids and the fog was really thick AND it was 10.30am!! Yes, the farmers would have been twiddling their fingers waiting for it to lift so they could go spraying.

Golf on the farm

Yay, it’s seeding time again. Where the mornings are crisp and the freshly turned earth smells amazing. I had a call from a local farmer saying he was about to rip up the back paddock behind our house, why? Because my hubby likes to hit his golf balls out there and it was full of

Chicks galore

Here are our mothers with their 11 chicks! See if you can count them all. So cute and fluffy. I took the remaining eggs away from them (so they would get out of their box and look after the ones they had) and put them inside on the oil heater. Bugger me, bung on midnight

Bonfire, marshmallows and a full moon
