Sunday afternoons on a property look a little different...
I get lots of guests commenting on how lucky we are to live out here enjoying the views and hanging with the animals, and they're absolutely right. What they don't see though is the blood, sweat and tears that go into maintaining it all behind the scenes, no matter the weather.
Today was one of those perfect winter days. I could have been anywhere, relaxing in the sun and soaking it in. Instead I was scrambling through thick scrubby w**d at the entrance to the property. The Japanese sunflower lining the roads may look lovely, but it is a major nuisance, and after 3 years of looking at it on the verge and trying to keep it out of the paddocks, I finally got an afternoon to get out and cut it all back. Hopefully reducing the spread, but more importantly, clearing up a wonderful vantage point!
I'm not done yet, but it's progress. Hard work, sure... But would I have it any other way? Not in a million years π
