My other half used to work for an ag machinery company, so we've always taken an interest in what's going out there in the world of farming.<br />I don't envy you any of it at all.<br />I recall a ripper dust storm when I was a child. We visited my grandmother in Mildura. It seemed that the desert was trying really hard to bury us and the rest of Victoria under it. We were running around, filling in every gap we could. We still ended up spending the next day washing everything, sweeping and mopping floors. Any wonder Nana didn't have carpet. My favourite job was beating mats and rugs.<br />Ah, the good olden days. :)<br />I hope there's a good stock of oats for next year.Robyn of Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830917656529638295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-84534759045140599512014-11-05T13:48:55.764+11:002014-11-05T13:48:55.764+11:00lovely pics. hope the dust storm is gone. they mak...lovely pics. hope the dust storm is gone. they make such a mess.Anita : Shabby Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671750612081582072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-86415226467643924392014-11-03T09:47:21.022+11:002014-11-03T09:47:21.022+11:00lovely pictures.... my son does this in UK .. just...lovely pictures.... my son does this in UK .. just at different times of the year!!! haha<br />HugzFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497477051026460440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-67657770871097268852014-11-03T07:52:25.085+11:002014-11-03T07:52:25.085+11:00The thought of those itchy oats makes me shudder! ...The thought of those itchy oats makes me shudder!
