August

This last week has seen us living in a castle. Just look at our 'moat'!



The ducks loved it, so they came visiting. The chickens were going to have to take swimming lessons, so they spent Monday free ranging in our garage, fortunately by Tuesday it had mostly drained away, so they got to shift back to their homestead ;-) Our neighbours who have lived here more years than I've been alive, said it's the most/worst flooding they've seen, which was kind of good to know. At no point was it actually near enough to the house to be of concern. Hard work pushing a wheelbarrow through it to feed the cows and pigs though!

I have been playing with paper and associated products, but since mostly they are for challenges so I can't put them up on here yet. Seems to be a feast or a famine as the mojo comes and goes lol.

With the sun coming out these wee beasties found the best spot for a nap.



I've a busy couple of months coming up, with most weekends someone either staying with us, or us going away. Lots of wonderful time spent with wonderful people to look forward to.

And a big happy birthday to my brother who turned turned forty something on Friday!

Have a great week everyone.
