Simple Country Life....

It's always busy round here this time of year as we prepare for the long hot Summer...

There's dam fences to mend, stick piles to burn, goats to muster, garden beds to prep, veggies to plant, sheep to shear, more fences to build (and mend), fence lines to clear and if you're one of my girls, pockets to fill...

Today, while I mended holes in old fences my girls helped out in other ways....

They piled up sticks, collected flowers for drying and filled their pockets full of rocks - eager to take home for washing and painting, these always make the perfect gifts.

We really do love our Simple Country Life*!!!*

The best place to raise children is the country. Their life is not cluttered with all the craziness of city life. Pockets full of rocks is good. It's a good simple life and can't be beat.

And washing to do by the looks!

Love seeing children enjoying themselves, and there is no better place than the country, red dirt and all!
