The (nearly) 2 year old being pushed by the (nearly) 5 year old and both having a blast!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.

Day 148 of 2020
The photo doesn't do it justice but I looked out the window at work and the leaves were just glistening in the rain. It was really lovely!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 147 of 2020
It's been a while since I've done this - gluten free bread in the breadmaker.
Very exciting, cutting that first slice!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 146 of 2020
It's taken me a while to get to this, but finally progress is being made!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.

More intricate feeding methods.
I've discovered the cats (Nigel and Timmie) get a better feed if I feed them out of reach of the scavenger-dog!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.

"Quick! Move! Miss Piggy is coming!!"
Her idea of a greeting is to lean against you for a scratch......
See you tomorrow,

Day 140 of 2020
Pushing the limits.
Not quite ready to use the rope to scale the last rungs into the tree but having a good climb anyway!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.

Cheers!
(Not a particularly clear photo but the only one I took today that was useable.)
Nice for us that restaurants are now open so we could celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary ♥
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 138 of 2020
Another misty morning...the cows all moved over to the top corner to catch the sun.
They were waiting for us to finish our breakfast so they could be shifted to a new paddock.
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.

Day 133 of 2020
I was starting to wonder whether I should start running home with big black clouds gathering, but
I got home safe and dry!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 131 of 2020
Feijoa season is nearly finished so it's great that Mandarin season has started.
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 130 of 365
Somewhere, under years of topped up and compacted metal, is
a water pipe the farmer is trying to find.
His water divining skills tell him it is there somewhere, but not the
exact position nor depth!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.

Day 129 of 2020
A quick walk before breakfast turned into a longer walk before breakfast as I spied a Fernbird looking for its breakfast.
They're a little non-descript to look at but as their population is declining I'm happy to see them about. The rat and stoat trapping in the reserve is working as numbers here seem to be growing.
They are not good fliers apparently so are ground dwellers rather than tree dwellers, it seems, so that would be why they are so vulnerable.
I also saw one very briefly on yesterday's walk which was on the bush track on the other side of the farm. I saw that one briefly and then only saw the ferns moving as it flitted around in the undergrowth chirping. They have the most boring chirp ever - but that is very distinctive in itself!
Here's a link, with sound clips to the right of the page.
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 128 of 2020
Buying in feed is becoming increasingly difficult (and pricey) as there are still so many areas experiencing drought conditions. We've had to buy in some maize silage (as opposed to grass silage), which is fed with straw. Today was the first day of feeding it and the cows weren't too fussed on it - apparently they will become used to the different taste and will get hooked.
The MOML fed out for tomorrow and the chooks had no hesitancy in getting stuck into the maize!
As you can see, after the recent rain, we're starting to grow some grass. We've just about had enough rain to declare we're 'out of drought'!!
As you can see, some were eating it, most went for the grass first! They did get hungry as the day wore on and picked through the new maize/straw combo!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.

Time to pull out the needles and yarn for some winter knits.
See you tomorrow,

Day 126 of 2020
Another load of silage turned up this morning.
What's particularly interesting about this photo (to us, at least!) is that the big rig is stopped there in the middle of the paddock because he couldn't get any further!
We had 2" of rain in the previous 24 hours and the paddock was too soft for such a heavy vehicle.
When the silage was unloaded he backed out, no trouble.
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 125 of 2020
Whoops these two again!
Enjoying some fruit picking time.
They swapped places several times so they both got to sit on
the wider post, rather than just the skinny rail!
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
Day 124 of 2020
Our bubble now includes a couple of small people ♥
George enjoyed some one on one time while his sister was asleep.
See you tomorrow,
