Regatta day cruise down the Derwent

Not room enough to receive

In our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ,we are encouraged to pay a tithe. 10% of our increase. A promise is given that if we pay an honest tithe The Lord will " open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it " ( Malachi 3:10) 

Tony and I pay a full tithe. We can testify that the windows of heaven have been opened to us and miracles have been wrought in our lives. It's awesome ! 

In our garden we have a " windows of heaven /not room enough to receive it" peach tree. Every year since we moved here it has produced more fruit than we can receive , eat or pickle. 

Gilbert kindly picked as many as he could this summer but the ground under the tree is still covered with fruit. If you want any peaches next year please come and pick them :) 

I made peach chutney. Yum. 

I'm feeling very grateful :) 

Motor bike star

L'il ole Josh is a motor bike superstar. 

Here he is all decked out in his new gear which was bought because I had a fit when he burned  his leg on the exhaust recently. I had to listen to the doctor and nurse lecture me about the dangers of motor bike riding. Do you think I can convince the boys to sell the bikes and move onto kite flying or some thing less life threatening ? :) 

Anyway I'm proud of my little guy( and the big guys ) that hoon around the farm all day long. 

This is Tony and Ammon constructing fence number one ( of about 500 ) for the farm. Ask Fletch and Gil how much they love working on the fences :) 

We've had fun camping and setting things up on our land out here -back'o'Bourke  ( ie. Campania :) 

Ps. No animals on our farm yet yet just a tractor and a bulldozer and lots of plans :) 

All my bros lane

Note angelic light resting upon me!! Hehe. I tell ya I needed it today ! #nearlytheendoftheschoolholidays and motherhoodislikebeingpeckedtodeathbyaduck!!!!! 

Enjoying this lovely summers evening. 

A bike ride to Bellerive for ice cream. 

Last week we walked there and back for a fish and chip dinner but we thought bikes would be quicker and funner :) 

I ran along behind taking photos. I need a bike :) 

Good tidings of comfort and joy

Government house open day

Garden wandering

Mum organised for my sis and I to visit the Gov house gardens with her. Go muzz ! :) Twas a delightful afternoon. Such a treat to have this gorgeous garden in our very own Hobart town backyard ,so to speak :) The tour was free and I think they will have one each month. 'Twas lovely to spend time with mum and my sis and cute nephew. Gardens have a beautiful way of soothing the soul
