Day 6 of 2020

Two very old tip trailers that we have had for ever have got to the beyond repair stage in the last year.

Hubby is enjoying having a new trailer and is busy catching up on all sorts of jobs!

See you next time,

Day 5 of 2020

Another day of smokey haze from Australia for much of New Zealand.
From the sunrise —

—through into the afternoon —

It was like there was an eclipse happening today

— and into the evening. No sunset. The sun completely disappeared about 5.30pm.

Just so hard to fathom what it must be like closer to the fires. 

Keep safe, all who are near.

See you next time,

Day 4 of 2020

Yum - plum season is starting!
Trying to beat the birds -
-and the possums - managed to spotlight one of them the other night - caught red handed with a plum in its hand!

See you next time,

Day 3 of 2020

A sewing day today.
The end is in sight for this pattern.

See you next time,

Day 2 of 2020

Very sobering and disturbing today to have smoke from Australia's fires appearing in our skies.
A hazy day all day.

See you next time,

Day 1 of 2020

Here I am again. I've decided that 2020 will be a good year to take up the 365 day photo challenge again  (actually, it will be 366, won't it?!).

But I'd forgotten about it until the second of Januuary, so I don't have a 'special' New Year's Day photo; just a random one I took during the day.

Followers of my main blog will know that we have some Quail living near the house and I was delighted recently to see there were chicks.

Here Mama Quail was keeping an eye out while the babies were practising their fence-sitting skills. 

Papa Quail was further along the fence. I couldn't see him behind the apple tree but he and her were continually talking to each other - keeping lookout I guess.

There are six chicks altogether.

See you next time,

Raewyn.

July photos

I'm attempting to catch up again.

These are some of the few photos I took during July, which I cropped and resized ready to post sometime in August I think!!

Oh well better late than never, I guess :-)

July 5th - I was tickled by my 'winter bouquet' with late roses and early daffodils!

Here's some of the mud we were making in July.

When you have kiddies staying, all the calves get names, not just numbers!

Helping!

Winter colour

See you next time,
