BEGINNING WITH......................F

First, it's about time I try and blog more regularly, but with weather, price hikes and a feeling of melancholy about world wide problems, I've not had the impetus to put words on paper or use the camera much.  Yesterday, although very overcast and cold, we took ourselves off to do some firewood collecting out at our friends farm.  I took some photos too and realised they all started with "F" & thought it would be a funny, funky post.  Notice all those f's.

                                                                      FIREWOOD.

                                                                  The trailer being loaded.

                                                                               FARMS,
Views of distant farms from the paddock where we were collecting the fallen timber.  Notice the mist on the lower slopes and the ranges in the far distance.  Typical weather at the moment.

                                                                         FUNGI.
                                                I noticed this lot as I was walking about.

                                                                      FASCINATING.
                                   Our eucalyptus (gum trees) have the most wonderful shapes.

                                                 FURRY FRIENDS.  (Tups or rams, depending on where you live.)

What are you looking at?

Maybe I should join the others.


Are you back again with that black thing?

                                                                    FINISHED.

Hubby had been busy before the frightful weather hit and was making me a plant stand out of pallet timber.  Hasn't it turned out nicely.  I will get to with pots of herbs and maybe a few cut and come again veg. soon.  Too cold at the moment, but will hopefully get some sunshine in amongst the cooler days.

All from me today.    
Take care all and hugs from a wintry down under.
Susan.

    1. Thanks Sandra & it was one of the better days even in its grey state, but it has been pouring down all night again. OK, another F and realised they did pop up all over.

  10. I must admit Susan, that I've not really been feeling it on the blogging front lately. I just seem to have been struggling to find the time and something other than holiday trips to talk about, though it is always nice to look back and see where we've been. I love the plantstand that your hubby has made for you. We have a couple of pallets hiding behind the shed, I may have to get Martin on the case. Take care. x

    1. Thanks Carol. Glad to know I'm not the only one feeling different from a few years back. I love seeing your holiday trips and wish we were game enough to come over again to see everyone. Oh dear, I think there may be a few busy husbands around in the near future.(lol)

  12. I don't know how cold you get in S Australia but not as cold as we get here in UK. I 've travelled to Australia twice and loved it.. we drove from Geelong along the Great Ocean road stopping on the way. I bought quilting fabric at a lovely shop in Portland. Looked back on your blog, lovely quilting.

    1. Thank you Chris. It's been cold & overcast for weeks this year and although we are on the opposite side of Victoria to the Great Ocean Rd, the temps are similar at this time of the year. I went to a quilt shop in Portland a long time ago. I've visited UK many times as DH is Yorkshire born & bred with all his family still there, so know all about your weather.
