Life in the Country

Life in the country means....... bad internet, beautiful views, planning ahead, and a different set of noises in the middle of the night.


I took this photo as the sun was setting behind me of the dam beside our house.  When we moved here we told our very young, very adventurous children there were crocodiles in this dam in the hope that we would deter them from getting too close, but we built a big fence to keep them in the house yard just in case.

April has kept me busy, quilts quilts and more quilts, school holidays, visits to mum, the Sydney Royal Show, backwards and forward to school (4 1/2 hours away), and eldest son moving home for a couple of weeks before flying out to work in Canada for the next 6 months.    Needless to say he has kept me busy booking flights, washing, getting insurance, doing budgets, washing, running us out of internet credit and washing.  He now flies out on Thursday and I'm not sure if I am ready for him to go yet.  He is 21 but your children are always your children no matter how old they get.  There goes the phone bill, but this will be balanced by the decrease in the food bill and the number of times we have to drive to town to stock up. 

Here are some of the quilts I have been lucky enough to work on...






And, I'm still plodding away on my Orca Bay, hopefully will have the top finished this week.


Till next time,
Jane
