Winter in Summer

Winter has returned at our house.

We have had bouts of the tummy bug and now the temperature has plummeted and we have rain, high winds and I am even contemplating lighting the wood stove. It's hard to believe but someone somewhere in Tasmania may even experience a white Christmas this year. I don't think it will be us because of our location but it has been forecast of the possibility of snow elsewhere down to 700 metres.

Aside from that it is full steam ahead here as we are trying to get in our first ever raised garden beds and have them planted out as soon as we possibly can.

It is all very exciting as we are fast approaching the year 2013.

Our cows have adapted nicely to their new home. Our chicks have settled in with their foster mum and our yard is slowly changing in appearance as the tree stumps we inherited four years ago when we brought the block have been either dug up or chain sawn off at ground level; all sixteen of them.

Slowly, slowy the dream is taking shape.




 




We have more tree stumps located out further from the house but for now they can stay as they adapt nicely in with the bush and surrounds.
