Day 133 of 2025

After years of nagging (!!) the MOML is putting up a new workshop/bike shed.
He's always needed a better place to work on vehicles, plus he needs somewhere safe to store his hobby bikes.

See you tomorrow,

Day 132 of 2025

I amused myself by putting the chook food in a coconut shell that was lying around.
The chooks obviously don't mind where their food comes from but they decided four around it at once was a crowd, leaving just these two to empty it.

 See you tomorrow,

Happy Mothers' Day!!

See you tomorrow,

Day 130 of 2025

Giving the cows their afternoon shift so that the MOML could go in and watch YD play hockey.
It was about 1 1/2 km walk to their new paddock - they didn't mind the walk but I took the bike!

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 129 of 2025

I finally cleared a patch of garden for planting the pansies Lily insisted I buy (hehe) on Saturday.
Love that colour!

See you tomorrow,

Day 128 of 2025

All the heavy rain came before we finished fertilising the runoff this autumn.
The paddocks are really wet (ideal for pigs!) and the track out there is getting greasy.
Difficult for trucks.
It's poor, hungry country so we really didn't want it to miss out.
3/4 hour with a helicopter got the job completed for another year.
(Two hill paddocks just across the road were done too, saves me having kittens watching the MOML do it himself!)

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn

Day 127 of 2025

Pigs are causing a huge amount of damage out at the runoff at the moment - digging up all the grass.
There are at least three mobs living within the area.
Son-in-law turned up on our doorstep with two pigs so a last minute hanging set-up was needed.
Keeping to his philosophy of hunt-to-eat, these will become bacon.

See you tomorrow,
Raewyn
