One day...

"Those horses are like a pack of cigarettes. One day you're gonna run out of runs. You better enjoy it while it lasts"-Sherry Cervi.

What a thing to say, this can be related to many aspects of life and I think you only really understand how precious today is after you have faced a few hurdles. Life isn't easy and it is short. I think life is 10% what happens to you and 90% attitude. You can be given all the opportunity in the world and become nothing or you can make opportunities and work hard, everything just depends on you...Dust and All

Life is busy, make time for your aspirations

I  haven't posted in a while and thought I would quickly say what has been happening at the farm. Where to start? Building new sheep yards, selling a steer, taking cattle to a weekend expo, selling a pony, vaccinating cattle and in between all this university. I have realised you can achieve a lot in a day if you really want to, I often think of a Tim McGraw song "Live Like You Were Dying" and this makes me think of aspirations. We all have aspirations or dreams or goals or aims, whatever you call them some of us follow our dreams while others of us, kind of, just live. I think this is boring, I have been told I dream too big and this is when I think of the quote "if your dreams don't scare you they aren't big enough". With this in mind I have decided to follow an old dream of my own and I believe everyone should!-Dust and All

My dog's name is Ted...

My dog's name is Ted, I'm pretty sure he is the most likeable dog in the world, but most days he finds something mischievous or just plain stupid to do...

This morning while getting hay to feed the horses from a round bale, Ted decided to slide down the side of the bale. Now imagine for a second a doggy missile coming at you from a metre above. Hay fell all over me, down my shirt, in my gumboots and flakes of lucerne are still in my hair. While Ted landed beside me on the ground-unharmed and smiling.-Dust & All
