Things seem to get done in waves, crazy busy times and then quieter periods where we get away to to grandkids or have them here.<br />The back area was something we determined to do as we love to live outdoors as much as possible.<br />There is always something to do (although I must admit, sometimes we close our eyes and pretend it's not there and leave it for another day.) ...unless it's animal care related..<br />Hope we catch you again one day Lillian,<br />Take care<br />Jane.<br />ozzibethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537238271583629320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635142808405371669.post-75378597292147048382016-08-17T11:25:24.898+10:002016-08-17T11:25:24.898+10:00I love the sound of a concrete mixer too!

I have not commented before but I have read your story and think it's wonderful. Best wishes for your further endeavour and completion of your house, guess farm work is forever ongoing. Congratulations on your great Aussie pioneer spirit.
