Time to catch up again!

Since my last post I've fitted a little sewing in but I'm determined to do a photo catch up before getting back into my quilty crafty posts.
So if you're here for the fabrics and threads, you're out of luck, come back next time...today's post is all about family and farm.

Easter of course is long been and gone - my sister and her family came to visit. We worked out that it was 10 years since they'd been out to the farm; they live a ways away and in their previous visits up north they've been to wedding venues and then back home again. SO it really was great to have them visit.

My sister and I ♥

Easter time was all about family. It was great to have everyone together. YD and I organised an egg hunt for the younger ones which they totally enjoyed .....my nephew spun a great yarn about seeing something fluffy out in the garden the previous night and led the younger ones off Pied Piper style.

The cousins had a fun time playing together. Nice to see the older girls sharing one of their favourite farm games with the younger.

And some just posed gorgeously —

The older girls are living up north full time now so we are enjoying seeing a lot more of them. They now have the opportunity to take part in school sports and are both playing Saturday netball. While the MOML spends his Saturdays following our son and the two son-in-laws and their rugby games, I'm now a Netball Ganma and spend Saturday mornings at the netball courts! I was a netbal girl myself so am enjoying it a lot!

One time the girls came home with me after netball to stay the night. They're keen cooks so there was no meal making for me while they were here. We ate well :-) 

Wednesday has become another Ganma day. I drop these two off at kindy —

— then carry on to ED's to look after these two while she works.

Aren't I lucky? ♥♥♥

OK, enough of the family. Now for the farm pics.

I took this one back in April while I was shifting the cows one afternoon. We have a few paddocks over the road which we graze in the weekends when there is little traffic (and definitely no logging trucks!) (If you click on the photos they should enlarge for a better look).

 

Here is me shifting the cows again. We've really greened up since a bit of rain.

Because we don't get very cold here, and there is a lot of evergreen native bush,  we don't get a huge amount of autumn colour. This year I missed getting out wit the camera but I got this one from the deck. Liquid Ambers never disappoint.

Random shot, peeking through some trees.

The cows are looking a little woolier than usual.

The sheep always looking wooly :-)

We had some beautiful sunsets a few weeks ago. Dinner was late some nights while I was out looking at them. I really liked this photo —

Yahoo - caught up again!! Here's hoping I can stay caught up and next post will have some stitching goodness :-)

If you got to the end, thanks for persisting!!

'til next time,

happy stitches,
