A few quotes:
“From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
― Lao Tzu
“The weak can never forgive.
Did you know that July 11, 1987 was the very first "World Population Day"? [1] World Population Day was designed “to track world population and bring light to population growth trends and issues related to it”. That year, the world's population was 5 billion – a result of about 200,000 years of population growth – and 24 years later, we had added 2 billion more.
Just to get you into the mood….
Sally and I had fun out in another paddock, checking out the mob of cows and calves - or were they checking US out? It started like this….
Hey look Fred, there’s some cows – let’s have some fun!
Yes Sally, I see them, good view from up here thanks!
Right, let’s go get them!
I guess we’d better check both ways first.
Gee whiz, there’s more coming up behind us!
I think we’re being surrounded!!!
At least these two are behaving Fred.
Yep, and these mums have got their calves under control too.
Holy Cow! There’s Toby!
He’s looking right at us – grrrr!
Don’t worry Fred, I’ll deal with this.
This is how it’s done Fred, quite simple really when you know how.
And that’s the point of it all!
September is the perfect time to visit the local apple orchard. The air is crisp and clear putting one in the mood for long walks and tart apples!
So off I went to Wilson's Apple Orchard, to partake of deliciously fresh apples. Of course, there are many distractions at the orchard, other than apples.
A trip to the apple orchard is a great way to spend the afternoon, and there are so many things that you can make with your freshly picked treasures.
Woof woof everyone! I’m back! Sorry I’ve been away for so long, but I’ve been really busy helping Enivea and Sally get through a tough winter. Now it’s Spring, and we’ve all moved into a wonderful new place and are really enjoying ourselves!
Here’s what we did today…..Sally and I that is, and Enivea tagged along as official photographer. She likes doing that.
We’re off to do some mustering! Gee up Sally!
Daisy was pointing out which way to go…… but it was a little confusing……..
We checked out both paddocks.
Sally said ” Come on Fred, they’re not in that paddock.”
“Fred never believes me, I’ll just keep on eating while until he realises I’m right” said Sally
Hey Sally, look what I found!!!!!!!!
Golly, they are catching up fast!
Those legs are much longer than mine!
Here they come – so fast they are ruffling up their feathers! Better not come any closer though! Grrrrrr!
There you are Enivea, Sally and I saved you from the emus!♥ They are off to the forest now. Woof woof woof!!!
There’s a whole heap of fun to be had with a ball!!! I just love my soccer ball – and Sally’s legs make good goal posts!
You might like to watch this young horse play ball too…… woof!
Hi folks, it’s been a while since I stopped by here, but don’t you worry, I’ve been keeping pretty busy even in this chilly weather we’ve been having. It’s moving into winter here Downunder, and in this part of the world, that means lots of cold, rain, and fog. Such as the morning in these pictures. Fog, fog and fog. Mind you, despite such a cold damp start, it did end up a sunny day as about mid-morning the sun won out over the dampness – just in time to warm me as I lay on the back verandah sunning myself after the morning’s exertions.
When Enivea and I first arrived in the cattle paddock, all we could see was one poor lone beast. Lucky I’ve got a good nose to sniff things out.
He needed his mates, so off we went to find them.
Maybe there’ll be more in amongst the trees…..
Yep, I remember this bloke, always got lots to say. Thinks he’s the leader of the mob actually, but I don’t reckon he is.
Hang on, looks like he’s called out the troops – and this one means business!
Now listen here mate, don’t you get too close to Enivea, she’s the boss!
Time to head off back to the others don’t you think?
By the way, do you like my new winter jacket? It’s matches the one my horse Sally wears. Nice and warm it is.
Well, we were steered into the right direction, and had a good wander in the paddock and caught up with all the news from the rest of the mob.
Just as we began to head back home for breakfast, the sun sneaked a quick glance through the gum trees.
It was so pretty we almost forgot just how cold it was……. woof!
Boy oh boy, did I have fun the day we took a trip to Naracoorte!! Isn’t it every boy’s dream to be on a steam engine?
This one is pretty special, cos it’s painted the same colour as my …um…. tie – woof!
