8.10.25 The past few mornings there has been a definite tang in the air. That certain smell and feeling such as one gets on an early morning in autumn. A couple of days ago I mentioned to Darrell that it felt like autumn had arrived and he agreed but also added summer wasn’t over yet!… Continue reading Que Sera, Sera.

7.20.25 How nice it is to sit here in the early morning, feeling the very welcome cool breeze sweep through the house, watching the sky lighten to a pale blue dotted with small fluffy pink tinged clouds. What peace there is in just taking a few minutes to sit and sip my tea and contemplate… Continue reading The Countdown Begins

6.29.25 When I got up this morning, I was planning on just popping the kettle on for my first cup of tea, strolling down to pen the milk cows up in their dry paddock before I head down to milk Heidi later on – I open their gate to let them graze to their hearts… Continue reading Bullocks and Books

6.8.25 Sometimes, no matter how you try to plot your day, things happen that put the best laid plans awry.

5.4.25 Yesterday was a rather strange day, a somewhat special one, yet strange. I say special because it was the day of our annual Monument Volunteer Ambulance May Day fundraising dinner, an event we EMT’s have been hosting for years and years on the first Saturday in May. Strange, because I was not there to… Continue reading A Strange Yet Special Day.

4.20.25 It is always interesting when we get a new bull. When you have not raised him up yourself there are always so many questions such as is he a fence jumper or a gate pusher? Is he relatively quiet or rather vocal? However, the most important question of all is how his temperament is.… Continue reading The Mighty Monty.

4.13.25 My goodness me! Once again, I find myself wondering how on earth we can be in the middle of April when it seems as if the year has barely begun! Yikes! If the remainder of the year passes as quickly, I will be making Christmas cakes before I know it! In all seriousness, time… Continue reading A Happy Heart… Well, Almost!

3.30.25 There is something quite fascinating about the human body. I don’t mean what is on the outside, rather what is on the inside.
