We had a great dump of snow last night and as I write this more is falling. With the sun on the mountains and trees they become totally awesome.
Podróżnik Magnificent. Gods beautiful creation, looks so peaceful. I say this from the warmth of Tauranga. Are you warm in your home.
Podróżnik We are toasties warm.. we have only the electric heating going.. the gas is hotter and diesel heating is tops but not needed.
Podróżnik Poor lambs down there. They will just be new borns. They dont lamb down there until October.
Podróżnik The lambs next to us were born a month back.. quite large now... being spring the snow melts quickly therefore there is plenty of food, and large trees about for protection.

Podróżnik Good work you both are doing. Lovely views of the lake. Catch up with you at Christmas.
Podróżnik Your 2nd photo looks like you've got a machine gun in your hand. I assume it's a saw of some sort. Or do you shoot the branches off down there.
Podróżnik No it's a battery power kanga saw. We have just received advice of severe snow fall tonight down to 100mtrs. Time to book a trip to Fiji!!
