Post 300
And not a single person commented on that very first ‘real’ post!But I never really minded, to be honest, about how many comments I managed to garner from blogging (it still amazes and delights me that people take the time to leave their thoughts here).
for you will surely be disappointed,
And that has really been my motto.
I do this to record little snippets and snaps of my children being bush kids…
while they are still my bush kids…
I do this to remind myself of the beauty and grace of living so close to Mother Nature…
And occasionally, to keep it real, to bring myself back to earth with the harsh reality of being farmers of the earth, and keepers of it’s creatures.So to those who bother to check in with me every so often:
THANKS for sharing your amazement at the things you don’t see every day (unless you live in the bush!) like the proud old man kangaroo who checked me out one day…
THANKS for laughing with me at the antics of Dash and Violet…
And the crazy animals we surround ourselves with out here..
And putting up with my fascination for all things old…
and all things sundrenched and silhouetted …
Y’know, after 300 uploads, you’d think I’d be almost out of ideas for blog posts, wouldn’t you?
Scarily, I think I have just dipped my proverbial toe in the water.
And despite the frustrating limitations of my archaic internet speed (or drag) and the lack of actual time I have for such pursuits (hence the sad neglect of housework round this joint) I am still raring to go… not an hour goes by I don’t think:
Gosh, that’d make a great blog post!
And that just spurs me on to do more…
Sorry, that was a terrible pun.
It really is sad that I crack myself up so easily!
…
So I guess I’ll catch you on the other side of 300.
Although how I’m gonna follow that spur crack, I have no idea!
