Goodbye, October!

October has been such a busy month.  On the farm we have dealt with wild weather, broken water pipes, and a flurry of new calves born.  The veggie patch was ploughed and planted, the gardens weeded and mulched before the hot summer weather sets in.  And we have started the mammoth job of painting the house............it is going to take ages, but as the Chinese say.........each journey begins with one step!

My roses are blooming beautifully in the new front garden, they seem to love their new home.





Our old truck gave up the ghost and the new (old) one had to have heaps of work done to it to make it roadworthy.  Dennis worked hard on it for several weeks.  Today we reached a milestone.........the truck was inspected and passed for rego!  Hooray!

Our little finches are busy making nests and hatching babies, and the wild lorikeets are nesting again in the old dairy, the galahs are here morning and evening enjoying the kikuyu seed, I love this time of year!

Not so fun was this snake, that my little dog, Abby dug up in the orchard, just where we were standing.  I thought she was after a blue tongue lizard and was telling her off for digging........a couple of minutes later, she had this red-bellied black snake by the middle and was shaking it madly!  Luckily she escaped being bitten, as it could well have had deadly results.

Between all that, I have been crafting too, and I am now more than half way finished two more quilt tops in my determination to make a quilt for each of the five grandchildren.  I have enough fabric in the stash to quilt for a small country, I think, so it is good to get it out of hibernation at last.

This month has been a time of re-evaluation of health issues.  A visit to the GP, extensive blood tests, new specs, a visit to the dentist, and discovering a lovely lady who practises Bowen Therapy which has helped with various ills.  I have given up eating wheat and within a couple of days was feeling improved.  All my blood tests came back with good results.  Fantastic!

Hope it is all good with you, too.  Thanks for visiting!

Accident Update

Thanks for all the good wishes sent my way since my car accident. It has been a month now, and I have just had confirmation from the ctp insurers that I can continue with the physiotherapy. It was cut short a fortnight ago as permission to continue had not been given.
So frustrating..........two weeks of waiting with no treatment, means that we are two weeks behind with getting better!
Anyway, all the aches and pains are improving, can't complain too much!

No news on my car repairs, it was assessed some time ago but I am still waiting to hear if and when it will be fixed. It is a bit embarrassing driving around in a beaten up vehicle........people might think it is my fault! LOL.

It seems petty to even mention this minor event in the light of recent news of severe fires, floods and the NZ earthquake. My heart goes out to all those poor souls who have suffered so much in these natural disasters and I hope that the worst is now over, and 2011 will settle down into a good year.

I hope all is well with you!
