Molly

 New member of the family, Molly, Jack Russell terrier and general ball of fun and mischief. You have to be slightly mad to take on a puppy at our age, but she needs lots of training to get along with all the other animals from a young age. Success so far?  moderate!!!

Summer Days 2015/16

This has been a hot summer so far, preceded by an unusually dry spring. The paddocks are brown but the creek is still running, just barely, so we are thankful for water for the animals and the garden. Also, it seems hot weather is good for apricots, and we had a bumper crop, providing jam and stewed apricots for many breakfasts to come.

Spring storm brewing, one of the last

The Flowering Gum on the driveway. Show off!
