Lists and sunshine…

Hello… helllllooooooo… anyone still out there?

Tis I, Bush Babe.  The one-time regular blogger who has been run over by the proverbial Freight Train of Life.

It’s not that I’m not doing interesting stuff – I am.

It’s not that I’m not taking photos of it all – I am.

It’s not that I don’t WANT to blog some of it – I do.

It’s just that… my hours:day ratio is just not BIG enough.

Take now for instance.  It’s 10.15 pm Granite Glen time.  We have been mustering today- so the chore list goes a little like this:

I’ve been catering, riding, cajoling, coaxing, ignoring, shooing-up, blocking-up, loading, unloading, feeding, hosing down, swimming, cooking, dining, wining, cleaning up, updating (various mothers of our young visiting musterers)…

Basically all things every Mum on any cattle property anywhere does on a busy mustering day.

But as it’s the one and only VIOLET’s birthday tomorrow, I’ve also been:

Ferreting through a thousand Christmas gifts to locate her birthday offerings, wrapping, baking birthday muffins/cakes and designing (a card).

Actually I have yet to do the last thing on that list.

Which is what I SHOULD be doing now instead of blogging…

-0000000000000000-

Here’s a little something to remind you that underneath all these lists, I am still here.

It’s a snap I took while we were innoculating calves today…

Recognise this cow?

Maybe a closer view.

It’s K114.

Tuffy’s Mum. The most amazing Brangus mother ever. I think she made most of us well up just a little when things got rough around this time last year (go on, admit it!).  If you look at the first photo you will see that, 12 months on, she has a new boy in her life – another gorgeous little black bull.

Talk about sunshine after rain!
