Day 66 of 2025

Weekly visit from these two as they walk home from school, while I'm at work.

See you tomorrow,

Day 65 of 2025

I'm not big on kids having phones but if it's the best way to keep in touch with their father, that's not so bad.

See you tomorrow,

Day 64 of 2025

A bit of work happening...it will eventually result in new yards and a new loading ramp for stock trucks.
We are tired of chasing bulls around who have jumped out of the current ones.
Watch this space!

See you tomorrow,

Day 63 of 2025

I didn't know which photo to use, so there are two for today.
School swimming sports.
A fun morning (handy when 4 of the grandies all attend the same school!).
The girls (identical twins) had an interesting freestyle race - it truly was a photo finish, which happens so much with these two girls!

See you tomorrow,

Day 62 of 2025

The herd got a bit stir crazy when we bought a load of bales that they didn't like.
Here I am rounding up a few that decided they would head up the back hills instead of the paddock they were supposed to be in.

See you tomorrow,

Day 61 of 2025

Oh dear!!!
Hmmmm, it seems the vibrating of the tractor/stirrer had this effect!!!!

Footnote; (which you can do when you're behind with your blogging). Tractor pulled out, tractor OK and going; we thought we had a major clutch problem but an old-timer shared a trick to fix it; tractor was to be sold. Luckily it was fit for purpose and the buyer still wanted it - he was the one who helped pull it out of the pond!

See you tomorrow,

Day 60 of 2025

I didn't get a good photo of the cakes so a group photo will have to do instead.
A nice gathering at YD's to celebrate a 16th birthday. 
Gandad tagged along with a cake for his birthday too 😊

See you tomorrow,

Day 59 of 2025

Our annual herd test...collecting measured samples of milk for testing.
Among other things, we can find out who is in calf, for calving in the spring, and who isn't.

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 58 of 2025

I was delighted to receive some hand woven tea towels in the mail!
Almost too nice to use... 😍
Thank you, Joanne!

Day 57 of 2025

A camping mattress with a slow leak makes an ideal pool 'toy'.

Day 56 of 2025

It's always a tricky manoeuvre getting the stirrer to the effluent pond to stir it up so that we can pump/spray it out onto the paddocks.
Getting that long implement around trees and through gateways uses an extra set of skills!

See you tomorrow,

Day 55 of 2025

Haha, the MOML is in love with his 'new' bike.
He's been wanting to get his hands on some of the bikes he had when he was a teen for quite a while - he finally had the opportunity!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 54 of 2025

A fabulous evening for sharing dinner on the deck.
Friends from the UK, who we hadn't seen for over 20 years!

See you tomorrow,

Day 52 of 2025

An earlier walk than usual due to a busy day meant I caught the very beginning of the sunrise!

Day 51 of 2025

Interesting consequences from the mesh I used for the pumpkin to climb on!

Day 50 of 2025

As the summer dry continues, more bales are needed to keep the cows milking.
(It looks green, but nothing is growing.)

See you tomorrow,

Day 49 of 2025

This is going to be rather painful but I am going to try to catch up on my photos!!
Bear with me!!!

The figs are starting to ripen.
Mostly, at this stage, the birds are just getting well fed but I have had the odd munch!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn
