Making hay ...while the sun sets.

Homemade Lasagne + an evening walk for the whole family

=

a perfect evening!

We had to do a few small farm jobs on the way - like water the cows!

(Note how dry it is- this is summer coming - I'm still amazed at how different summer & winter look here.)

Ellie decided she would try Zai's big bike......& rode it perfectly - guess I know what her Christmas present will be!!

Here is our 'little' puppy Snowy - hmmm not so small anymore -but he sure is gentle. He's smart & obedient - in fact he is exactly what we wanted. Kinda wondering how big he's gonna be when he's fully grown though!

Finally we reached our destination -

the newly baled hay paddock!

And what do you do with hay if it doesn't involve wrestling??

Sadly my sweet little daughter was the instigator (I guess that's what you do when you have 3 brothers).

Posing for some photos in the waning light

Do you think I could get any serious ones - this is the best I could, but then when you consider that both twins had lasagne all over their faces it's probably best there are no close ups!

Hmmm..she certainly was wild - must get that from her father's side - LOL

Even taking daddy out of the mix didn't help with the photo session!
Oh well a fun evening for all!!

One of our barley paddocks was taken over by rye grass so we had it cut for hay - unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the cutting or baling process - wish I had as it's very interesting!! We now have enough feed for all the animals for a few years - we are so thankful as in summer there isn't much feed on the ground.
