Some days are better than others. Today mine pretty well stunk for a while. It was cold and rainy and a tree had taken down part of our fence. Of course, the cows were out in my neighbor’s hay field. Things had to wait till I did a few errands at work, but I did get back home, I got the cows back in and found the downed fence. As I was finishing mending and complaining to myself, I turned from where I was working and saw this log. Pretty cool.

This weekend was pleasantly warm and a walk outside was in order. It’s the end of January though, so things are still pretty brown as seen in this still life of gum tree balls and leaves.
Pears on the Picnic Table
It’s late summer and we start picking up fruit that falls from our trees, and it ends up lining our picnic table in the back yard. In addition to providing us with food, some of them provide sustenance for the wasps and hornets that share our farm.
