    I think the goverment need to look after our farmers as they face big battles on their land day in and day out,thankyou for this wonderful post my friend xx

  2. Great post Joy, I have yet to take up Chooky’s challenge, but thinking about it, when I finish this quilt that has been on for toooo long!

  3. Lovely to read a bit more about you and see the pictures…. some great memories and lovely to be in touch with the land…

  4. Great post Joy. Brought back memories of being a country girl. So miss that even after 30 odd years. Would love to move back to a country area. Hugs, xx

  5. Great Post Joy – I couldn’t bear to eat the animals I had raised – I would be a terrible farmers wife too – love my modern conveniences far too much and I couldn’t live in the country – not in AU – maybe in England where it is green!

  6. I always wanted to be a farmer’s wife, but maybe it would have to be more on the agronomy side, as in orchards/veg/grain etc. I still grow some veg & of course you know about me and animals!! Thanks for the great post. Take care.

  7. I didn’t realise there was such a thing as National Ag day, even though I grew up on several farms in Padthaway and schooled in Naracoorte. An Edenhope boy should know where those places are! Isn’t the world such a small place?! And to think that you were in Arabia when I “met” you. Oh that poor chicken…. how very confused she must have been about her chicks unnatural tendencies!! hahaha I have very fond memories of hand raising orphan calves, roustabouting in the shearing shed, drenching, putting out hay…. it’s all so more romantic now that we are not doing it of course. I had always assumed that my kids would get to do some of this too, and it is one of my few regrets that my family has no farming connections anymore.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! I will reply via email as soon as I can!
