New couch

 Our 'new' IKEA couch and it's happy owner...  It's one of those things that we've been wanting for about six months and have just waited for it to come along.  And here it is - a gift from our heavenly Daddy!

The bees love the gum flowers...

Bella Donna Lilies are flowering everywhere at the moment, making everything beautiful.

Beauty

Ulf took this picture a few days ago.  When he showed it to me, he said only one word, "Beauty."

Summer Days...

The beauty of having so much space is sharing it with others...

   

Ulf picked up this great little bbq for free.... we had a feast... those are James' feet... and yes the grass underneath did burn - from a stray ember - but the hose was close by.  :-)

Tammy, Josh, James, Brayden and Emma getting into the tucker!

Note the tv on the right - for watching the tennis. :-)

Ulf on the tractor, slashing..... there's so much slashing to do these days...

Juicy ripe blackberries are all over the property at the moment... causing quite regular outings to pick them!

One such outing's produce...  our freezer is filling up fast with these!  

A stash of yummy blackberry jam has also appeared in our pantry...  :-)
