:: ‘Quickly’ checking the cross-bred lambs on the irrigated lucerne on Saturday morning turned into Saturday afternoon… Bloody sheep.

:: While we were there we checked on the growing oats too, you can see them just after they were sown here. Grown much?! They’re about waist high on Matt (who is 6’4″) now.

:: Following the leader (after requiring some assistance to get un-bogged…) through my favourite part of this place, to a little barbeque in the scrub for lunch.

:: Of course crawling into a cave is a great idea. Matt disappeared well into this cave, crawling his way along whilst I had a heart attack on the outside.

:: Noticing the small things amongst the big things.

:: Noticing the big things amongst the small things.

:: Follow your nose home through ‘Willalooka’, over the hills and our old crumbly farmhouse is somewhere over yonder.

:: I spyed this little one on our way home with his head stuck in the fence, I gave him a hand but he wasn’t loving life. Poor sod. Lambs – born to die I tells ya.

:: My new satellite dish does not an idyllic farmhouse photo make. But…it gives me faster and more reliable internet so I will embrace it. Or obscure it. Or photoshop it.

Joining in with Em over at The Beetle Shack this week. Pop over and check out little Elke, that baby is pure deliciousness.

  2. I love your photos Emma! I agree sheep are the silliest things and will die at the drop of a hat if the mood strikes them. What a beautiful area. I love the feel of the place, the trees and that road winding into the distance.

  4. Cross bred lambs are stupid aren’t they. We were marking our merino’s yesterday, and found a few who had got through the fence into the merino mob. Found another one stuck half way through a ringlock fence.

  6. I didn’t notice the dish, too busy looking at the lovely drive to your place, and wondering if there aren’t nasty big snakes in that part of the country that like living in nice dark caves?!

    and also soaking in that green green grass….

    • Exactly what I was thinking! Good spot for a mama snake to lay lets of babies if you ask me. He reported back there was lots of bones and skulls down there. Great.
      That drive is the main laneway through the farm, not our road, but it’s a nice view hey?
      Tis very green here at the moment, soaking it in before it all dries off, thinking of you guys up there though 🙁

  8. I didn’t even notice the dish…was admiring the beautiful verandah
    Beautiful photos (your sticky date pudding is in my stills this week!)
