Red Sky At Night Shepards Delight............

Some of the sunsets over our farm are just glorious.






This tree turns some amazing colours at different times of the year. It is the coolest dead tree. Even though it's dead it's full of life. There are so many bird nests in it and goannas sometimes climb it and hang out at the base of it. All different birds use it as a stop off to wherever they are going. Hawks perch up on it waiting for little mice to reveal where they are and then they silently swoop down to grab their bounty. Sometimes back into the tree to devour their catch.

Enjoy the Sunsets

Cousins

Paul's Sister Sheree and her son Sam came from Western Australia for a week or so. It was really great to catch up. We haven't seen them for a few years. Sam has grown so much. He and Charlotte ( another Cousin) came to stay the night. They all had fun out in the paddock doing archery and on the giant swings and the trampoline. All under the shade of our only big tree.

In the shade of the tree....

Long Weekend Fun at Our Farm

We just had a long weekend to celebrate the Queens Birthday. Any excuse for a day off, right?
The weather is finally beautiful , crispy, winter days.
Paul decided while the weather is good he should mow the paddocks. Unfortunately for him and Henry (our little blue Ford tractor) the ground is still really wet from all the rain. Henry got bogged!!
When Henry gets bogged I have to help get him out. The last time I was in the ute and I rode the clutch to much and nearly burnt it out, so this time I had to drive Henry.I haven't been on Henry since before we moved in. I forgot how much fun it is. Anyway here are some photos of the occassion.




We love being home. At our last house we went out a lot on weekends. But living here in the country just makes us want to be home.Paul and the boys went scouting for a place on the property to build their new cubby house/fort and here is another view of our barn/house.

It really is a beautiful place to live!
