Well the rain has drained away leaving everywhere very soggy. So much damage everywhere from places that have never experienced such devastation before. So much community unity as people rally together to help each other and local businesses get back on their feet So good to see............Meanwhile on our relatively unscathed farm................Geoff got given a gate! A beautiful gate in fact and we spent yesterday putting it in place. It took just about all day as everything had to be retro fitted into an existing very crooked gateway!
We love it but NOTHING is straight! It is full of wedges and blocks. All quite ugly until it gets painted and all blends in a bit better.
As you can see the posts either side which are old , both bend outwards! A clear case of over strained wires in very wet ground l would say!
But it is all hidden in the front by the pickets! So the Wallabies in the paddock actually get the best view of it. l hope THEY appreciate it! It will all get a repaint ...( when it all dries out!)
The same person also gave Geoff these two VERY heavy seat ends..........we shall have to find somewhere to put these and find a top for them We certainly did well! Well done Geoff!
So life goes on , as we plunge deeper into Autumn. Beautiful grey hazy mornings and still relatively mild...
And l count the days l can still grow my amazing Bleeding Hearts plant outside before the first frost comes along and annihilates it!!
And talking of gates............here is one that the ponies have spent a goodly amount of time leaning on, scratching on and wrecking in general!
Definitely seen better days............
But a nice new sturdy non gate has been put in its place. One l doubt ANY of them will be able to crush and crumple!
Fingers crossed!!
