A new year...a chance for reflection on the previous one. What to do different this coming year? What challlenges do I want to meet? All things I've been thinking about over the last couple of days. And been adding things to my to do list :-) I've also loved reading everyones positive posts. While we all go through rough patches, it's how we deal with them that shows what sort of a person we are, don't you think? As well as all that brain power being used ;-) Muscles have been used as well! Our hay has been cut and baled, and lucky for us we have had a few visitors. Those said visitors have had to work for the keep LOL!
Of course we couldn't make them just work, we had to have a few drinks to celebrate the new year and the hay making side of things.
We enjoyed each others company, round the bbq,with good food and drink, but no loud music playing so we could actually converse (oh I must be getting old LOL). We also thought we'd better shout them a few brews at the local ale house after all their hard work, and here we are enjoying that, last night.
From left to right is, my sister Donna, our Dad Ken, me, my hubby Lyall, his brother Garth and my sister in law Maureen. Have a wonderful week.

I remember hay making days ... and the not so nice hayfever and prickles and baling twine burn ... and awesome huts and tunnels and that freshly made hay smell. Love the his and hers hats from Swannanoa.
