Day 201 of 2025

I left retreat early so I could attend Lily's Craft Birthday Party.
Lots of crafting, and a very cat-themed birthday cake.
(Her twin's party was *here* - two very different celebrations!) 

See you tomorrow,

Just a wee group of us.....and lovely to sew and sew...

Day 198 of 2025


Nasty weather means a late afternoon shift for the cows.
Fresh grass and full bellies will mean happier animals and less mud.

Day 197 of 2025

Finally work on our new stock yards and loading ramp has begun (nothing like a deadline of calving cows to put pressure on the job!).
Unfortunately the digger found a buried water pipe. And managed to twist and spin it somewhere underground. Years of rock and compaction meant finding the end of the pipe underground was nearly impossible and it was not an easy fix.
Much water, mud and cursing resulted.
Finally the MOML decided to run a new water pipe and we all breathed a sigh of relief.

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 196 of 2025

Oh golly, it's this time of the year again.....

A bit of a different birthday party for George - held at ''Time Zone' with a few friends (and his sister).
Lots of gaming things.
The sort of place you're happy to go to just once a year!!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 194 of 2025

A lovely sunrise but we'd also had a very red sky off to the left as I was walking up the hill.
'Red sky in the morning' - yes, a lot of rain later in the day.

See you tomorrow,

Day 185 of 2025

 
I love my rural living, but being only a 2 minute walk from the supermarket has its advantages and appeal (for a short time anyway!).

Back down to Mum's for a few days and snuggling under the quit I made for Dad back in 2012...there was lots of love sewn into this quilt!
