Another sunny day.The air was fresh and humid after yesterdays rain. I walked the circumference of the property this morning enjoying the ambience.
On to our tasks today. I sprayed the outside of the house with the surface spray. I then removed some of the timber that needs to go for the pole replacement. I also jacked up the deck on my bottle jack since it is supported on a pole that is to be removed. It was opportune that I took the swag off the trailer to get the jack out since some of the downpour yesterday had penetrated the outside bag of the swag so I was able to dry it. Susan continued coating the new poles, took up some shorts for Larry and started weeding the vegetable garden. A task I carried on with after lunch when she went down the hill to continue work on the blue curse.

Birds were abundant today. Unfortunately a catbird, one I could probably never hope to photograph in the wild, flew into a window and killed itself this morning. Burying it became another task for the day.
The afternoon excitement was a cow breaking into the property from next door. Kevin chased it back between the fence strands and I leant a small hand to repair the entry point.
Tea tonight was BBQ prepared by Corey. Excellent steaks!
On the planning front we have decided subject to the next hosts approval to stay here until Saturday week and jump about 15 minutes up the road.
night folks
