Well Ive managed to find my way back in here again....sigh...its hard to find time to do ANYTHING at the moment.
Living on a dairy farm in the drought is Not Nice at the moment - cattle constantly needing to be fed and watered....let alone milked!!!!
And the naughty girlies down at our "other" farm - where they are dry and waiting to calve managed to break into the hay stack today - or yesterday maybe - and have made a HUGE mess...needless to say my husband is Not Impressed At All.
BUT....
I think Ive learnt how to add a photo - so here is myself and the "infamous" speedy cat

Hi, congratulations on teaching yourself to blog, ggg. I can empathise about the farm/drought situation. A family member had 1000 acres at Canowindra in western NSW until about 4 years ago, when they were forced to sell up and move to town due to his ill health (and the trying conditions didn't help) They were lucky because their property also had some historical significance in the district and was sold to retiring dairy farmers. Love your cat's colouring by the way, looks not dissimilar to my previous kitty, but was grey tones. Hope Speedy is as good a companion as my current puss, a real character she is too! Hooroo, Christine.

Congratulations, don't you feel as though you can accomplish anything when you get the puter to do something right.
We retired off our dairy farm back in 2001. Have memories - some good, some bad, mostly funny of the animal antics that went on.

Speedy cat looks like Moggie one who was my life saving cat. She was a darling as they all are in there own way. Struggling not to
be depressed by lack of rain here and wrote lists of things to be grateful for last night...amongst them that this is only a garden not a farm.....grew up on one of those and would give a lot for the endless bore and 3 m gal dam...whatever that may be in todays stats. Congrats on looking well and starting blog. Have had one for about 3 years but only "came out" once I started adding photos. Picassa from goodle is great for adding photos too bogger.

Mums eulogy

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N...

Ive had a very special finish and its a quilt that I love, I wish I didnt have to make but Im so glad that I have When mum went to heaven, the online quilting group that I am a member of - Southern Cross Quilters had the members make me heart blocks in rememberance of my dear mum. I asked for rainbow colours for the hearts as one of mums favorite songs was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the result and its it lovely..... Its taken me a while to be able to sew them together and to quilt and bind it - I needed to wait for the right time Yes it was sad but also so very healing and it is one very special quilt that will hold a very special place in my heart Thank you to each and every one of the SCQuilters who made me a block Your love shines through Also PS the fabric I used as the borders and the backing fabrics were mums as was the label panel - that felt right
