A Nice Quiet Evening.

Extremely handsome son George up a tree.

It was so nice and peaceful at the old homestead this evening. Utterly calm, not a breathe of wind to spoil the peace. Not raining either. I had cut the grass earlier and was raking up the cuttings. Sadie the German Shepherd, Bonnie the cat, Sunny Jim the cockerel and some of his wives were all enjoying the evening too.

My extremely handsome son George was thinning some branches from the old sycamore tree. He had spent all day working in the woods too. I'm pleased he likes the outdoor life.

I thought I would share these few photos of the evening, and a quick video of George at work on the tree.

Bonnie the cat is sitting on the chair under the Ash tree.



As I was saying. Such a nice peaceful evening. Guess what just happened? Actually scrub that. You will never guess. No George didn't fall out of the tree. I never cut my foot off with the grass cutter.

A Horse and cart have crashed into Tricia's car. Quite some damage caused. Kind of a side swipe. They just drove off! Neighbours saw the whole thing. Didn't even stop to see if the horse was OK! We all know who it was. The police will be giving them a visit soon.

As I was saying. A nice quiet evening at the old homestead.

  1. Your EHS George is not only good looking but also brave. A nuisance about Tricia's car!

  2. Sorry about the car.
    This reminds me of the expression, "Don't upset the apple cart". Why do we have that expression and why do I remember it when I don't even know what it means?
    Next time, tell your EHS George to stay out of trees!
    That looks too dangerous to me. (Hey, I am a Mom!)

  3. John, well it was quite a quiet evening, until . . . sorry to read about that last part. Yes, I was expecting you to tell us that George had taken a spill, but thankfully he did not.

  5. EHS George looks very sure-footed in the tree. I would trust him. Is the damage to Tricia's car such that it can be fixed? I hope the man with the horse and buggy has the means to make it right.

  8. I am a sucker for beautiful trees, especially the skeleton on a tree and that sycamore really caught me eye. Love the shapes the branches make. Sunny Jim and his wives add a certain ambience to a backyard. I'm also a sucker for chooks.

  9. Wot, no rain?
    George is very agile, I wonder if you could loan him out to sort out the trees in my garden?

  10. WHere do you live? next door to the last century? horses and carts coming out of the past to persecute those of today? Glad George didn't damage his top hat or singe his sidewhiskers.

    I do love the look of your homestead - such peaceful pictures.

  12. I guess the 'horse's ass' caused the problem then.

  13. Not every day that a horse and a car collide and the horse wins.
