The kids rescued this little hopper from the pool this afternoon. A tonne of these critters have bred up since the rain & locust plagues can totally devastate the feed. So, we’re hoping their cycle is almost finished & that the damage will be minimal this time.
miss m finished her butterfly - it looks pretty cute don’t you think?!
todays exciting news is about narni (aka narni noo)
I’ve known narni since she was this big
She was born & bred on a sheep station & has always loved the bush
Well … she’s back! J
she’s here for a couple of weeks to help with stockwork (& painting if it rains again!) the kids are rapt & so are the puppies! thanks narni - its so great to have you here!
while they were mustering this afternoon, miss m collected some wildflowers & made me this sweet bouquet
Today, the whole family made the 300km round trip to town - its lovely to see the countryside still looking so lush & green.
bush harvest is a local arts & crafts co-operative that i joined when i moved to the area. Their shop stocks all sorts of interesting handmade items – but these recycled corrugated iron & timber dogs are my favourite
i swear each dog has a unique personality. You can read more about them here.
Her 1st school project is to design & make a soft toy. So Miss M is making a beautiful butterfly.
M & B used to love watching & playing along on national bingo nite. so when i found this bingo game, i figured it would be a fun thing for us to do as a family … it has been! These images are from tonites game – which for the record, was a tie between B & me!
sepia or colour?
PS. the poor baby fell out of a tree last week & you can still see the marks on his chin. what is it about boys & trees?!!
