Day 17 - 17 April 2020

Neighbours, Darren and Catherine, are away for a few days so we checked their cows this morning. Still calving but no new ones today. Went for a drive around and decided a crossover at the top of Burragunyah needs a load of rock as it is very soft and we haven’t had that much rain. Think some of the springs may be rising which is a good sign. After morning tea John took the tractor up with the stone bucket on and collected a couple of buckets of rock and tipped it on the crossing. We will have to smooth it out a bit another day. His afternoon was spent.... you guessed it ... fencing!

I did manage some painting today - the wrought iron railings on the back verandah. Finding the windows very tedious and easy to postpone but they really, really need doing. Booked preg. testing the herd for 4 May. The preg. testers are still able to work. Took a few photos of the Autumn colour in the garden. It is turning out to be the best autumn.

It’s Adam’s birthday today - 49 no less. His cake is a baked cheesecake which Guler was making this afternoon. Happy Birthday Ad.Les mer
