Azure skies, warm sunshine & playing with dangerous machinery.
I will mostly let the pictures tell the story as there have been lots of words over the
past few days.
Took Chum & Don around the cross-country-course today.
Tried some timed shots of us all with varying degrees of success
Found a little something to keep the sweaties happy
My artistic work was interrupted by Mal & truck.
I jokingly asked him if he was aware he was towing a sheep ?
He replied 'Yes'
Headed back to the cattle yards, past the now empty pig pen to
take some shots of one of the tractors.
Fed the old-timers,
My day ended with Mike asking me if I would like to drive the 'header'
or combine harvester as we know them.
Does a bear s*** in the woods ?
After driving around the lower paddocks & almost hitting a fence I didn't see,
I headed back for the shed where it is stored.
Mike said I could start to reverse it in but he would complete the manoeuvre as it
was a very tight squeeze. It was a rear-wheel steer & quite difficult to
manage as I couldn't reach the floor but I reversed it all the way in 1st go.
I tried to look nonchalant.
I have started a list for Santa, a header is at the top.
Wonder if it will fit down the chimney ?
First 2 lambs born today.
A good day.
3 kids get back tonight.
I will leave you with an image I hope doesn't distress too many of you.
I know there has been a lot of death, gloom & carnage in the last few entries
but I promised I would bring bad news as well as good.
All I will say is if you are of a sensitive disposition it's probably
best not to look at the next photo. It's just one of those cruel facts
of nature I am afraid.
I was getting in the washing this morning with Chum's help.
I had washed Humpy along with my bedding & placed him
in the washing basket.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Chum tossing something gleefully in the air.
I think so much of you lot that before launching a rescue I grabbed
the camera to record the act.
Have a good weekend,
love,
Cx
