We have had a lovely quiet time caretaking our son's property "Evergreen". We have been waking to magnificent sunrises with the sound of birds chirping. It hasn't all been sunshine though. The first few days were showery but the upside of that is that it gave me some glorious sunsets.
My daughter-in-law gave me some home grown pumpkin and sweet potato before they left to go camping so I have been coming up with vegetarian recipes to use the produce. The best recipe was the lasagne that was very delicious and will be repeated.
Of course there has been drives around Evergreen that is looking lush and green after all the rain. The cattle are in prime condition that is in stark contrast to just a few months ago when the country was extremely dry and our son was hand feeding the cows. It's hard to imagine but it is the reality of life on the land where you can go from feast to famine in a matter of months.....
Philip found a broken fence wire on our drive and quickly repaired the break. You can take the man from the country but you can't take the country from the man! He really does enjoy being back on the land and will come back down later on the year to help our son with a new fence line.
Tomorrow we head to Toowoomba for two weeks. In that time we will also make a trip to Brisbane so that I can have some pre-cancer sun spots removed from my face. We will also enjoy spending some time with my mum and I'm sure she will have lots of chores for us.......
