Posts for Spring

Over the last couple of weeks we had quite a mix of weather – typical spring. From lovely warm and sunny days where you easily get sunburned to torrential rain that flooded the valley.

Spring has just sprung and it’s getting time for tidy ups – spring time cleaning but outside.

Not that we lost winter in a hole, but the valley got so soggy over the years that we used the still good autumn weather to dig drainage in preparation for the wet winter time.

The last bit of rain has been some time ago and the weather forecast shows no rain for the next two weeks.

We had a few hours of exploring our little bush strip in the gully.

Spring is in the air. The weather is getting warmer, so I did my walk down into the valley to check the water supply to the troughs, checked all fences and gates.

The early spring mornings here are foggy and cold but beautiful.

Although summer is officially over, it almost feels like spring. Flowers in the garden and in the paddocks, raspberries, and chillies are ripening.

Such a lovely day today, the cows have been laying in the paddocks sucking up the sunshine, the horses looked happier today even though there is still no grass to eat around and the alpaca boy were having play fight after inspecting us closely.

I have been listening to that cow in distress now since yesterday afternoon, all night through and had a walk down the valley this morning to make sure it wasn’t ours.

Spring is back again and so is the beautiful weather and sunshine.

Spring has sprung but it would appear that it has temporarily left us.
