Watched by a willy wagtail on the fence these two go about their business of keeping this vacant block trimmed. They live a lonely life as resident mowers for absentee landlords and appreciate a visit from passing locals and always come over to the fence for a pat and willingly accept any food offerings.
This morning I've slipped on a jacket for the first time this year. Winter must be just around the corner.
@cejaanderson Thanks Jane. Yes winter is mild compared to what I've seen in the Northern Hemisphere his year through 365. We get down to zero and frost but only in one or two week blocks especially during July and August. lt is also our dry season. That is why we were getting so anxious about the lack of rain during last summer. We can't expect much between now and late September. But as this photo shows we are going into winter with a good body of grass which will hay off and provide nutrition for cattle if we supplement it with a molasses and urea lick.
Thank you for you so nice comment. You`re very kind.
