Day 301 of 2025

This rather random looking photo represents such a lot....!
At 5am I was down the road rounding up a mob of calves that had got out of the neighbours during the night - getting them off the road before traffic started up was my main concern.
(They'd walked/run 4.5 kms!!)
At 6am, on my way back from said neighbours to let them know their calves were out but safe, I encountered their cows on the road - an open gate meant they were streaming out everywhere! More stock control needed to 'contain' them.
At 6.45am on my way back home, I encountered two more of their calves on the road, so walked them back to our yards.
Phew.
At 7.30am when feeding OUR calves my phone flipped out of my pocket into the paddock.
At 9.30am we had our annual Shed Inspection - lots of paper work and compliance involved. However all went well. Phew.
10.30am MOML and I were back in the calves' paddock looking for my phone.
YAAAY He found it - I was so relieved that I promised him scones for lunch.
We deserved that after the morning we had!!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 300 of 2025

George did really well on his wee trail bike.
He rode all the way out to the runoff and back, then to the back hills over the river.
(With Dad and sister behind him.)
Probably about 9kms altogether.
He was ready for a fluffy and cake by the time they'd finished!!

See you tomorrow,
