Hot hot hot

​today summer decided to come all in one day!

Expected to of 42 


I converted it using google. That math problem is just to hard for me to work out 

So this morning I got up and jumped into action 

I’ve watered  all the pots out front 

Everyone has received their breakfast 

And cool fresh water has berm supplied


This is what greeted me while I was giving them fresh water. I grabbed a new water container and filled it right by the back fence. This was it will stay in the shade all day 


The chickens got a bag of ice in a shallow container. They can sit around it and drink the cold water. This will help keep them cool. The trees shade them during the afternoon when it’s the hottest so they will be ok. 


And finally an extra tub of water with the bag of ice. They all drink from this tub. Cats and dogs. Even Trixie, and there is water inside for her and Bella. The two that come in. Teddy and  Agatha seem to just want to be outside 

The difference between pure breeds and cross breeds. One likes pampering the other roughing it in the wild

Now I’m back inside. All blinds that are on the east side are down. It makes a huge difference  

Later after the sun is in the west the front blinds will go down. 

We are constantly getting an extreme weather warnings on our phones. 

We are all worried about bush fires 

I hope and pray people are extra vigilant so that if one does break out, it will be attended to straight away. 

Before it gets out of control

The end.


Suddenly it feels so empty in here. 

Trees have been packed away for another year. 

All that’s left is the front door wreath. 

Hubby has gone to the farm to fix fences. Literal fences not metaphorically ones 

Me I’ve finished vacuuming all the debris. 

I did an Aldi shop on door dash 

And now I’m finally sitting. Watching movies and sewing. 

Enjoying the quiet solitude

One on one

​today Georgia stayed with grandma and grandpa. 

Mummy and daddy took Ana to bowling. 

Some alone time for her 

Meanwhile Georgia had some one on one time too


We played 


Grandpa feeding her mid afternoon meal


Then grandma changed her nappy, burped her and she went to sleep

I had her sleeping next to me on the couch so I could keep an eye on her. 

Little clever clogs can now roll. 

Won’t be long before she’s chasing the other three around

Another year gone

​no. Not Christmas. 

Lots more got packed away today 

All that’s left is the Christmas trees and wreath



It all looks so sad now. But the room is suddenly so much bigger. 

No the year that’s gone is my 59th year around the sun 

I know it’s a cliche, but I honestly have no idea where that time has gone. 

I’m blessed to still be here. To watch my grandchildren grow. Every year I’m here. The stronger their memories of me will be. 

So live, laugh, and love. That’s my plan anyway
