starting three times

Ok, so this is the third time I have started blogging.  I'm such a chicken when it comes to really getting out there, but here goes.  

We don't actually have any sunflowers (although I did plant some for the first time last year) or haybales .... first confession done!

When we lived in suburbia, this was just a phrase we came up with that made us think of a 'lifestyle'.  I suppose it sounded kind of romantic.  Something I don't think we ever envisioned, but nevertheless hoped for.  But, here we are, on our small piece of land in Western Australia making lots of mistakes and bumbling along.   We are a family of six, eldest left home last year (sob), next one at university, one at high school and much to my absolute sadness, my little four year old surprise has just started kindergarten two days a week.  How I'm going to miss that little man!

I loooove to cook, really looove it!!  Sewing and knitting peek in there too, along with lots of bits and pieces.  Of course there's the vege garden, fruit trees and one thing you must know is how much I just love my chickens.  To me they are my 'chook children' and the 'real children' never stop laughing at me when it comes to them.  You'll have to bear with me as I navigate my way around this blogging stuff, feeling very inadequate right now, I just hope I'm not too boring!!!!
