Reading at Tumberumba


I read- Her Fearful Symmetry-, by Audrey Niffenegger, here under a wonderful applebox tree.

after a long day's work


Goodness! Hard work is bad for the hairdo!!!

Paddy's Falls


We have been to Paddy's Creek to camp while we work the bees 3 times so far and we had gone past the sign to Paddy's Falls at least a dozen times before we drove down the mini-mountain to see them.

Tea Time

Our bee hives here on the edge of the Snowy mountains are really well. Stevie is having his morning tea. We never skip morning tea and
bickies, although I usually have coffee.

Gnome tree in Rosewood


On the way to our bees in the mountains, near Tumberumba, we passed this gnome tree in Rosewood. It is the only gnome tree I have ever seen.

Posting lots of pictures


New experience! Picking oranges, 6:00am to 10:ooam with 4 adorable dogs( Rolly was my favorite), Barb and Graham. They have an orange grove with 80,000 trees--Barb has been a sweetheart, she's the one who got me to try golf. Narrandera has oranges, rice, corn, canola, lucerne, potatoes and wheat crops all fed by the Murrumbidgee River where giant 100 pound cod swim.

Reading spot, Jinderbyne




Jinderbyne is in the Snowy Mountains. It's here our bees played/worked while we traveled 16 hours to the future (the US). I loved reading here--the sunset was spectacular. My Kindle has a reading light, so I was still reading as I glanced up to my gone-with-the-wind backdrop.


Plus (one added, free, amazing, delightful detail) the roos were slowly bouncing away as we rolled onto this paddock.
