The sun came out

                                    

 The sun came out today so we made the most of it and went for a little walk to look over the edge of our property, now we can't go outside with out stopping to say gidday to 'neigh' so of course we did that on our wander.

 There are days that this south coast is just incrediable and you can't beat it. Days you can just sit and be amazed at the ruggedness, the beauty, the vastness and creation in general. There were plenty of birds out there today, Cai loves watching the birds, Gypsy just loved being away from the house. We have this property on the market and if it sells I will miss this view and the openess.

Then on our return we had to stop to give 'neigh' a little treat, the house paddock is getting a bit bare and he is having to share it with a few muttons we are trying to fatten for the freezer, not that anything will be getting very fat on it at the moment!

'bye bye neigh'

reunited

Well I thought last week was cold......
but this week its in the minus's!!!!
Cai and Gypsy have barely ventured out, well Gypsy does every night to go to her bed, she is still a dog after all. But I have a few pic's to post of them just hanging out on the Gypsy's couch in front of the fire. I intended to post these after returning sth again last Tuesday but the week finished before I knew it and we have just had the most full on weekend. Today the thingy ma jig fell out of the top of the fire so I had to let the fire die out before I could get it out to cool down enough to fix the dang thing up again. Instead of sitting in a cooling down house we took off for the day. I really was too tired to and so was Cai but it was better then being cold in your own home! Before we left though I had a hua of a mess to clean up!!

The story goes, there was a whole ton of giggling coming from the lounge, thinking I'd sneak in and video Cai obviously having fun with Gypsy, well I snuck in to find the biggest mess. He had attacked the packet of fire starters, had them in a gazillion pieces throwing it at the dog, she was trying to catch them, he was giddy with delight!! I hate to think how many pieces she had already caught and hoped like crazy she hadn't swallowed any. Needless to say I had to abort their fun. A boys life!!

Gnome on the roam

Well not much exciting has happened since my last post and since we are in June now, the weather has really put on its full southland charm. It has not been pleasant at all most days. It has snowed around us but so far not here but we have the wet and the cold that comes with snow landing on the mountains. We did sit on Tuesday and watch the snow fall out our window but too wet here to lay.
Anyway we watched the sun peak through dark clouds as it rose this morning, I did venture out for a quick few photos of the sunrise but just quickly came back to the fire. I sound weak I know, but I have never been one for cold. Not sure that I will ever climatise to the cold down here either.

Come on Gypsy, lets go

feeding the fish a winter treat

Back to the sun though, by 10am its was shinning brightly and I gave in once again to letting Cai out for a roam in the fresh air. We fed the fish and visited the horse (the neigh), the sheep (the baa's) and the tractor in the shed ;). We climbed over the rocks in the garden, squashed a few more of my plants, jumped on the tramp, rode the trike and when fingers were too cold to smile about it anymore we came back inside to thaw out. I think our timing was perfect as it has turned again now and raining heavy.

Good morning Gordy

Right lets go see the Baa's now Gypsy, poor Gypsy even looks like she's not enjoying a chilly bum

Well we are now packing for a very quick trip to the Nth island for the weekend, won't be long enough thats for sure but very excited about our little adventure to see loved ones.
