Get ready, not much time left, we are getting short… 2024 almost dunNdusted…
We have 11months and 25 days behind us. From my perspective, it’s been 11months + days and days and days of wet. Can use a bit of dry in 2025…
The past week or so has been dry so I have not been watching, reading, and writing much at all. Dont have the usual, long list of social complaints to rave about. The big “yard” looks great. Again. Still big areas that are too wet to get into to. The ground-water levels are still very high. It’ll take a few weeks for it all to dry out. So we mow around the wet, wait for the rains to come back, next week…
And watch the world turn…
And as the year ends, as the world still burns… I whittle on wood… here we have an ancient red-gum fence post. It was cut, worked, and planted probably 100years ago. I dug it out of the floods a couple years ago. I do a lot of laminated/ composite work so Ive cut this one and will glue it back together before I whittle it into a walking stick…
Wood, not war…
And… puppies are good… here we have 2pups, Dawn and Dandy…
Dandy is growing a lot, quickly… Dawn needs to exercise control a bit more.
Here is what Cmas afternoon looked like on the farm…
And the beat goes on
Big smiles
More later
