I sure did.. and she gets really excited about how you see a koala in your tree and that your dog chases a kangaroo!!!
Energetic!? Well, I’ll have days where I’m non stop and then there are the days of recuperating and not so much! At times I get pretty depressed about getting older but I have to say.. at 50 I’m still kickin it.... I try to anyway! Hopefully I can say that in another 10 years!
And btw, yalls food always looks amazing

Funny story:
My mother in law was over the other day (she lives closer to suburbia).
We have cows next door and they usto have them across the road but now they have horses.
Anyways my mother in law was on my veranda eating a meat pie. She was halfway through when a cow mooo'd from across the paddocks and she couldn't finish her pie because the meat was from a cow lol. I couldn't stop laughing!

I need to have my boar processed... Still not sure if I want to process the sow just yet. She still hasn't fully weaned the babies and if I keep her that will give me 3 girls and 1 boy. These are potbelly pigs so they are small (125Kg). 9-12 babies in 6-8 months. I really want to get breeding stock for mule foot hogs (325Kg) processed weight. I can grow new stock out in the current hog pen and train them to the wire, but then I really need to move them up to the north side of the mountain, which terrifies me.

Predator Update:
Eagles are having a lovely time today! I can hear them from inside our house attacking something. Not my chickens they are in the coop at the moment.

And they are critically endangered. One day I hope to have chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigs, and cattle. I just have to develop the land. And I'm finding at my age, mind is willing, body is much slower. Add to it, there's so much I don't know.

Gardening/planting Update:
Today is the 14th day of the Chilli germination but still no sign of chillies. We started trying to grow them in a container and in a wet tissue so we will see if we have any luck.
Temperature in the house has been right as we have had the aircon on for them lol.

All I can say is keep trying....
