| Still a handful of bales waiting to be collected from the side of the road. Today we discovered Graffitti on them!! Farming lingo; 33% DM = 33 % Dry Matter.... apparently that's Yum Yum! Apparently one's too dry. And another one has an energy content of 12.7! Cheeky!! |
 |
| Intrepid Journeys! Sorry about another caterpillar photo but I couldn't resist this one! |
 |
| Paddington, a happy sheep munching on grape vine prunings. Everytime I look at here I think of spinning! |
 |
| After all the rain last week, the farm races (roads) need re-metalling. |
 |
| See what happens when you slow down and take note of what's going on around you. I spied these Pine Nuts on the ground on the way out to collect the mail. Years ago someone gave my brother two trees - he gave them to Dad, who gave them to me... legend had it that they were the sort that produced pine nuts - very true! |
 |
| And some of them even have viable 'fruits' inside them! Now to get onto google and find out how to treat these. |
 |
| Another weekend, another wedding - it must be the season...a beautiful setting for it. |
 |
| Coming home from work tonight, I see the silage is still there. Hubby will come up the road with the tractor and get them as he needs to feed them out. He can cart 3 at a time so it will take a few loads! |
 |
| Our last load of silage was supposed to come today.... it didn't quite get here! Tipped on a sharp bend about 1 km or so away. There was quite a queue of logging trucks waiting for us to clear the road. (No-one was hurt thank goodness). |
 |
| While I was busy taking selfies with a chicken..... |
 |
| A small dog was trying to untie knots so he could 'say hello' to the chickens as well...! |
 |
| Brought these two down off the hills where they'd been put to stay out of the flood areas. They were very happy to be pampered with a bit of special feed. |
 |
| Impromptu evening meal with the newlyweds and leftover wedding food :-) |
 |
| Over 10" (250 mls) of rain over the last few days! And, inevitably, the farm flooded while we were away. Lots of mess to clean off the fences. |
 |
| ED's wedding day!! Fabulous Family Time! (Plus it stayed fine!) |
 |
| The day before..... Yes, the sides are down on the marquee for a reason - it's raining! |
 |
| Emma found a dry spot - under the truck! Hopefully this is the drought breaking rain - it sure was heavy! |
 |
| Yes, that is a tiny tractor towing a truck and trailer laden with bales. Some rain overnight so he got stuck! This will keep the cows happy :-) |
 |
| Homegrown Leek and Potato Soup and homemade rolls Yummo, thanks YD :-) |
 |
| I wasn't going to post another insect/garden pic but couldn't resist this one! |
 |
| After morning milking. The cows generally don't like this paddock as the feed isn't great quality; they seemed to enjoy it today! |
 |
| The young girls are growing fast! I still have them separated from the others but I don't think it will be long till they can migrate to being Big Chickens! |
