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.......

I hear you about the cough, the gift that just keeps on giving....that was me a couple of months ago, but fortunately it (eventually!) cleared up. Have fun escaping in August!

Jenny said...

Love the farm photos. Poor Lamby must be lonely on its own. Thank you for the Augustvescape prep .. so looking forward to it

Hope you're feeling better soon, you'd think the cattle work could wait, right? Who am I kidding, lol

I hope that cold of yours is better soon. It seems to be a particularly long-lived nasty one this year. Take care.

I do hope you can soon kick this lurgy that has taken hold. Not fun. Lovely winter’s photos. It has been warm here too. 17 today. Crazy. I can’t wait for Baradine to roll around again.
