Picnic time for little people

International Adoption Day

NO, you are not seeing things......the Blog has had a face lift.......oh how I waste my precious times with these things. We have just celebrated International Adoption Day in Qld, dressing up in our Taiwanese traditional dress & such. A very special day indeed.

Climbing the Bluff

Eating lollypops on a walking trip is better than eating kangaroo poo!!!! Polly seemed very happy to pick the poo up & pop it into her mouth every time I looked away, fortunately took some lollypops for diversion!!

Toby & our visitors raced ahead on our walk & very quickly climbed up to the cliffs, you can just see two specks under the large rocks. What a wonderful natural wonder we have in the back yard!!

Shearing the Rams

Some very small weaner lambs that we are feeding, just to give them a head start before going out to the paddocks without their mums. The lambs have become very quiet & unafraid so they come right up to the fence and take hay from the childrens hands.

Polly on the classing table in the wool shed watching the shearer's shear the fleeces from the rams.

Push those rams up for Robert & Giovanne..... Polly

Vince & Polly working hard trenching for the electrical cable at the new shearer's kitchen block.

Toby in on the action as well, when he gets bored digging lets go for a ride on the shovel...

Were back!!!!

This is the sweetest photo of Polly, couldn't resist posting this one on the blog.

Polly also loves helping dad at the yards, particularly chasing the dogs tail....Toby is behind the scenes pushing the sheep up for dad.

Not sure why, but it is getting harder to post on the blog these days....perhaps my time management is being compromised by certain small statued tots. We have visitors at present

staying in a caravan & joining in on all our daily excitement. Toby loves playing in the van, it

is a kid size house & has lots of little cupboards & gadgets to play with.

Till next time & hope it want be as long a wait.

Medals, Grasshoppers & Sheep

We had the Mudskippers Swimming Club presentation on the weekend & Toby managed a trophy for Blue Claw of the Year & Polly Most Improved Yabby Well done kids!!

While I was away with the kids, the grasshoppers moved in in plague proportions, not sure if you can see these shrubs covered with them. They particularly loved frangipani leaves, boo hoo as most of the garden has a good cover of these now.

Also have been lamb marking this week & over to the neighbours for a BBQ see below. Toby & his mate Digby had a great time helping David McClymont ignite this monster BBQ & kept stoking the fire up causing mini bush fires......boys!
