It's the first day of Spring tomorrow, the first day of September. It's also the due date for one of our Lowlines to have her baby - how's that for perfect timing? Although I think she's going to wait until at least the end of the week before we get to see the first of our 2015 calves.
It's drying out fast and with lambing and calving set to start from now and stretch across the next few months the days have gotten much fuller and busier. It's also heating up fast so the morning routine is being changed. No more slow cold mornings, second cups of tea, putting the sourdough into a warmed oven to prove or leaving the chicken eggs out of the fridge. Spring is short in our part of the world, but I am going to relish the gentle warmth while it lasts.
We delivered the cows their hay as the sun came up this morning, and I took my camera along for the trip.
May your week be filled with warmth and sunshine.
Enjoy the new season,

Good Morning Sarah, Your post this morning made me think of my childhood growing up on the farm with the cows. We are just starting into fall in our area. I can remember milking cows during my childhood. I have enjoyed my visit this morning with you/ Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley, I'm so glad you enjoyed this post. Hope you have a good week x
DeleteWe are about to transition to fall here in South Carolina(in the U.S.), so our spring season is a long way off. Things seem to be getting very busy for you down under. I always enjoy reading about the seasons around the world from fellow bloggers. It never ceases to amaze me how different the weather and climates are. I enjoyed your post!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is one of my favourite seasons - enjoy!
DeleteYou live such a peaceful life... you are blessed,

Thanks Tammy - in these photos it certainly looks more peaceful than it feels at times :-)
