An absolutely golden day, one for working outdoors and enjoying the scenery. It's a bit of a shame that the grandchildren have just gone home after a cold, wet 2 days in which they had to spend several hours indoors. I do love school holidays and grandchildren sleepovers. They are such good kids, and getting to an age of being quite interesting and funny as well as independent.
After vacuuming and washing the dirt from 4 kids and one dog off the floors they looked a shade paler. 3 loads of washing went out to the line, mostly sheets and towels, and that was it for housework.
Morning tea on the verandah and hay for the cows were the last jobs before we set off to the bush behind the house. Slowly clearing up fallen trees may not be exciting for some, but it suits us just fine. Chainsaw, pick up, build fire piles, burn. Many fire piles, much burning! Then, ahh then, stand back and just gaze around. There is something so uplifting to the spirit to work with nature to create, or recreate, beauty. If you can do a little creation of beauty each day, your heart will remain light. Just another sign that we are made in God's image, the greatest creator of all.
