just like that.....

Just like that I cracked a new project.........

Catch you later......

what's happening.......

 Well not much today.........
Still been unwell.......but went into work this week........this cold thingy is hanging on........

survived the week but had a terrible nights sleep last night so i've barely done a thing today.......

But I have started to do some more prep for "The August Escape"..........went to tag that post from last year and found it in drafts so I will publish that later and back date it til last year.........

But The August Escape is happening again this year..........

late August.......

it worked so well last year and was perfect winter weather for a retreat.........

think smaller scale to Scrub Stitchin'.........

shorter, less people.....

Some of the same girls and some different ones..........

still an amazing awesome group of girls.........

Back to last weekend I pottered around in the cattle yards again on Sunday to get another mob vaccinated..........

but I would do something then stop and have a break to catch my breath again............

It wasn't hard when I got to hang with these cuties.............

Lamby took off to join the cows again when I let them out.........she had missed going into the yards with them...........she's looking a lot better since she got shorn.......but she's getting old for a sheep........

I just checked and she is 10 years old now...........

She joined the family at the 2016 Chookshed Birthday.......see here.....and hear........

Its been a pretty cool week and Monday was a cracking frost for our first frost........

very late this year..........

The photo above was the bore drain Tuesday morning.........it was the steam coming from the bore drain..........a bore drain is an open channel of water that feeds water around a property.....the water is warm as it is artesian water coming up from under ground.........most of these open drains are piped now days.............

Late one afternoon driving home the sun was setting and there was the tiniest sliver of a moon.........so cool.........

Ok best go and do some more prep for The August Escape............

Catch you later........

Chookyblue.......

hello.......

Hello friends..........I really had hoped to have zoomed by now but last weekend I fell sick with a cold and i've been snotty and barking all week.....Last Saturday was a cold bleak day and was perfect to be curled up under a quilt on my recliner next to the fire..............I worked from home during the week which was good as I stopped and started as suited........otherwise I would have taken the whole week off............improving this weekend but keep coughing and running out of puff when talking or doing to much.........

this tiny flower is about the size of a pea............

the roads been pretty interesting with the bits of rain......

quite a few of the ramps are messy like this one............

Coming home one night I got out to open the gate and wow the sky was so pretty............

you always need to keep an eye out on the sunrise and sunsets...........

you never know what treat you might get...........

A few weeks ago I went to the "Phuck It" luncheon.......girly treat day with some interesting speakers......a wonderful day with friends.....

above myself, Natasha and old friend Sarah

the plants have kicked off so well after the rain as it had been so warm..........they have had there little solar panels out sucking all the goodness in.........such a vibrant green it is stunning at present........there was a touch of frost yesterday...............

A little parcel arrived from Janet @ Rogue Quilter...........full of chooky goodness and some of her gorgeous hand made soap..........maybe one day we can have a zoom soap lesson????? thankyou so much Janet............now to plan a project........I do have a few more Chooky fabrics I can add to the bundle...........

while we are on good mail Jindi @ Jindi's Cottage sent me this cute little stitchery celebrating the Chookshed birthday but hey I don't have to keep thinking what year now when she started.....

Jindi said she took a bit deciding on the right chook and I think you have nailed it.......love it thankyou.......

This weekend I have tried to do some things but keep running out of puff..............but yesterday we did get the cows vaccinated.............some of the herefords..........they are picking up...........

the green really is as vibrant as in this photo.....sooooo good.............the calves playing peekaboo around the tree............

we will get a smaller mob done today.........thankfully only a sprinkle last night as the round yard is a quagmire..........and it is gumboots only in some pens in the yards...........but the job needs to be done........and given it is winter it doesn't dry out so fast..........

other job for today is cutting some more wood...........

Have a fabulous weekend girls........

Catch you later......

Chookyblue.....
