The sun has set on our Winter School holidays, two weeks of busy but wonderful days have fled past. There’s been  mustering, Junior Beef Shows, mustering, cleaning yards, mustering, shifting cows, mustering, a camp draft and then some more shifting cows.

Tomorrow the focus will change from horses, saddles, cows, boots and bobcats to Japanese, English, Maths, Science and History as we recommence the “schoolsin” routine.

Although I’m sure the after school activities this week will continue to include some mustering, cleaning yards, compost turning and cattle shifts …. just some of the benefits of being a country kid, the lure of the great outdoors and all that!

My heart did skip a beat when this fellow, who heads off to boarding school next year, pumped his fist in the air yesterday and cried only two more terms until I head to boarding school!

Maybe it was the super moon that had caused the rush of blood ….

…… couldn’t possibly be because my little boy is growing up.

Yep, it was definitely the influence of the super full moon. Today he has been much more childlike, researching Nerf guns and the like.

  I’ve a feeling you weren’t fist-pumping Ainsley.
  The moon has been spectacular, though these zero and lower starts to the day are becoming tiresome. My houseyard has been frosted for the first time in all the years we’ve lived here. As Sharon would say, surely a sign of a wet Summer to come!
  All the best for Term 3.

  ITS A SIGN. You know how slack am I, I have been indoors before dark and not even bothered to look at the moon.

  Beautiful moon! I missed it but I am sure your view was one of the best.
