Hi all
Well have i had two wonderful days! Sorry for not posting yesterday, but i was so tired that i had no power to even type. So on Monday as soon as Jade's caregiver came in i was out the door ( must sound terrible, but needed time out ) So i went hicking on the farm with Soxs ( border collie X ) and Boeba ( boerboel X ) So went down to my special and favorite spot on the farm. Previously i have found old bottles and pieces of plates that looked so old, so i went back to this place, and started scratching and did i find the mother load. Now to explain to you i was sitting on a rock cliff with not much space, about a meter by a meter, under a spekboom ( my favorite tree ) and as i started scratching out came more and more crockery, old bottle made in england, USA. Crockery with pictures of Egypt on, Blue china pieces with the blue design. Man i sat there thinking, can't be. Now i love anything old and with history, and i had tried to find the owners of this farm and who owned it in the `1820's. Our farm is part of the old 1820 Settlers that came out from England and was given land to start farming in SOuth Africa. Well i found there treasure and i tell you i am sure the next farmer or even the poor deceased Settler that owned this farm must have heard me shout Yippeee! I found many bottles, crockery, china pieces, old water can thingie, a horse shoe, even a child's shoe. It took me two trips up and down the mountan, and on coming home on the last trip i thought i was going to pass out i was so tired, but i had a smile on my face that not even colgate would beat.
The animals on the farm as well and happy, all but one chicken which i am worried about. She looks so sad and tired, don't have a clue what is wrong, but i will watch her and even if she must go to the vet, that is what will be done. Ducklings are getting stronger and runner around the yard, happy and easting lots, swimming and just parking off. Geese are getting so used to me now that i just sit down for a chat and they around me. Life is good although it is cold the heart is warm. Have agreat day and chat soon.
How exited! You were sitting under a “*spekboom” and you found a real treasure! *That must be South African language or as we say “Zuid Afrikaans” because it sounds and is written like Dutch! Literally translated I would say: bacon tree! :):):)
ReplyDeleteYou say: Sorry for not posting yesterday, but actually you don't need to apologize for that Annelore. You are not obligated to publish a post every day (in my opinion, everyone is free to post as often she or he likes). In your case it's even normal that you take a few days off, you have other things around your head than blogging.
In Jade's case the presence of so many animals will work like a therapy, she will be stimulated and achieve more then you could estimate. You would be surprised of her potential.
You are now a real treasure hunter, you dig up history.:)
I find those bottles on the top of the shelf very special!
Take care and have still a good evening there!
