Delivered from the mice




This morning at 8am the truck should come to pick up the last load of hay. You just can't imagine what a relief that will be to us. Thank you all for your prayers.
Isn't the damage just incredible. I could not believe that mice could be responsile for the mess and I blamed the dogs. However, as we got into the middle of the stacked bales and the destruction continued ... well I believed! The picture where Dad is standing, shows the hay that falls down as the bales are removed.

Hay - Good News !

All hay sold! Yes it is true and Soooooo very exciting. Please thank the Good Lord and say a special prayer for Lindsay from next door, because he is responsible for getting buyers for the whole lot of it. You cannot imagine what a relief it is to us.
There probably wouldn't have been any left in a month or so. One can't begin to imagine the damage that the mice have done. Dad and I have been carting it away by the trailer load - 5/6 loads already and not half way yet. We are putting hay around every tree and on every garden bed. Dad reckons that there would be over a tonne of it. After two days of it we have aching arms, backs, etc. - yes we are loading it by the armful! Anyway, we are just so elated to have it sold - truck has just arriaved to pick up the second load.
No, we have not had much of the rain that was in the southern part of Queensland. Only a total of 8.5ml in the last six weeks. However, the crop is still looking really good and rain now would be truly wonderful. Love to all. Mum and Dad
