Hay Ewe!

In addition to improving the quality of the soil in our garden we had decided we needed some mulch as well. Preferably straw which is light, insulating and can be dug in to the soil as it composts down.

After an exhaustive and fruitless search of the Internet ebay produced results and for a nominal amount and a bit of a drive the straw bales would be ours.

Sunday was an early start, we borrowed a Ute and a trailer and headed up towards Bendigo. The day was sunny, the sky blue and wildlife out in force. We saw horses and sheep and cows of course but also many parrots, three very fat Kookaburra's and an echidna crossing the road as fast as his little legs would take him! (moving too quick for a photo unfortunately). However I did take a few shots during the day.

The open road...

Fields of green.

Fields of yellow!

On the way back some cows were very interested in our trailer load!

More exciting for me was the sheep...because sheep = wool = knitting. Also knew that in Bendigo there is a Woollen Mill although we didn't go there because we were on a mission. Can you see the sheep on the hill?

Our Haystack! I keep going outside to look at it!
