Day 358 of 2024

This tree always flowers for Christmas. It is a-hum with bees and just so pretty.
(Norfolk Island Hibiscus.)

See you tomorrow,

Day 355 of 2024

I still have two calves left - these two stayed home when the others all went to their new farm yesterday.
I wanted to feed them for another week before weaning them.
That's the trouble with late born calves!
They'll be weaned and sent to join the others before Christmas.

See you tomorrow,

Day 354 of 2024

A big day for the (64) beefie bull calves I raised this spring.
They all came home so they could hop on a truck to go to their new farm.
Only 10 minutes up the road so it wasn't too big a journey for them.

See you tomorrow,

Day 353 of 2024

YD warned me that this was in the letter-box, to 'dispose of''.
Too cute - how can I?????

Arrived home to see that the MOML had been busy.
He's done his bit; the rest is up to me!
(and maybe the kids!)

Day 351 of 2024

Fun with these three down at the river.
Perfect on a hot day.

See you tomorrow,

Day 350 of 2024

From the Silly Animal files.
Feeding time for Emma Dog is also sneaky time for the chooks.
Nothing like a bit of dog roll to supplement the diet.

See you tomorrow,

Day 349 of 2024

A rare sibling photo.
Celebrating Haylee's (soon-to-be) 18th.
Which included a whole bunch of teenagers at ours on the deck for a BBQ dinner. Then it was party time in an old barn down the farm.

 See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 348 of 2024

Odie is determined to 'help' whenever he can.
Because the job was small, he was able to help drench the next batch of calves to be weaned.

See you tomorrow,

Day 347 of 2024

Small things amuse small minds.
I had a wee laugh when I saw the chooks 'leading' the cows into the milking shed.
Next, they'll probably be trying to take credit for all the work!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 344 of 2024

The line up in the front paddock at the moment.
A friend is visiting - she decided she may as well join the tractors!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 343 of 2024

I was a bit concerned that there was something wrong here as there were so many bees outside the hive first thing in the morning - rather than tucked up inside sleeping! But I was reassured that this was a 'strong hive' that needed another box on top.
The bees do look quite healthy, don't they??!! 

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 341 of 2024

Somewhere in amongst here is this year's Christmas tree.
As I walk the hills, I'm on the look out for the perfect one!

Day 339 of 2024

(Whoops I see it's another Odie photo!)
The best place to be on a hot day.
We had a delightful time walking up 'Ganma's stream', looking for crocodiles and trying not to get our gumboots filled with water!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 338 of 2024

Nice to have a 'small' boy join me when I'm feeding calves.
There's no keeping him inside now that he's living on the farm.

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn 

Day 337 of 2024

A mini-sewing-retreat at the shop means room to spread out my projects :-)

See you tomorrow,

Day 336 of 2024

Blink and you miss them.
I nearly did!

See you tomorrow,
