The church.
Former Lutheran church, now houses a pool table and other fun stuff. Has been
used for the occasional party and lots of pool (8 Ball if you like),
plus a few other things.
The view from my window.
Not bad, eh? :) And yes, they are deer in the paddock. Rusa to be specific.
Another view (house to the left, church to the right).
The rose garden in the foreground required endless wheelbarrow loads of topsoil, spread by hand. Really. LOTS of topsoil. Lots and lots and lots and......
After rain.
It doesn't rain enough. I love it when it does though... it's when the place is at its best. You get that clean, fresh, earthy smell after a good fall of rain (which is incidentally best heard on a corrugated iron roof, the best lullaby you're ever likely to get).
Our dogs.
Jess and Darby, post-clipping. They're actually pure-bred border collies (very smart!), but you'd never know it when their hair is gone :) It's to keep them cool in summer, in case you were wondering. I'll see if i can find a good "before" shot somewhere...
The rare and elusive Potato Hawk.
Yep, that's a potato with pee-wee feathers stuck in it. It kept the pee-wees away from the car for quite some time... they're back again now, beating the shit out of that other pee-wee in the window and crapping all over the tonneau cover.
