Here & Now





Loving...playing with Spud & watching him and Rilla become friends
Eating...fresh homemade bread with locally grown free range nitrate free ham 
Drinking...ginger beer
Wearing...paint on my clothes & on myself (unintentionally, of course. I'm a slightly messy painter)
Feeling...busy
Wanting...a weekend 
Thinking...that I can't take my eyes off Spud...he just ran past with a shopping bag
Dreaming...of when Spud is old enough to work so that I can do something with his endless energy!



......................

It has been rather manic around here for the past week! It's generally busy to start with, which means that when extra projects are added or things go wrong it gets really crazy. The day I went to pick up Spud the bulls decided to break down the gate between them which resulted in all the cows being mixed up and a pair of tired and cranky bulls. Thankfully neither was seriously injured. It also led to one jumping the fence, and then the following day the other disappeared, which led to an entire day spent searching for him. Thankfully we found him, and both bulls have been well behaved since, although there is now a whole paddock and a lane way in between the two herds. 
We've also been fencing, getting rained on, painting, bringing home new farm animals, having trouble with the ones we already had and trying to raise a rather mad little puppy in the middle of it! I hope this weekend goes smoothly and peacefully as we haven't had one for a while.
