Sheep in the paddocks

This is another letter from your Uncle Roger. I hope you liked my last letter about the carpet snake I found in the firewood heap. The snake is still hiding in the wood-heap waiting for warmer weather in the Spring-time. Did you like the photos I sent of the wattle out in bloom? - When we see the wattle flowering, we know that Spring-time is not far away and soon the weather will be warmer.

I've sent you some photos of the sheep here in the paddock close to the house and the sheds; they are getting woolly and soon it will be time for the shearing. We shear the sheep once a year in the Spring-time. I have a friend called Laurie who owns these sheep, so when he wants to shear them, I'll take some photos for you to see the shearing.



Early in the morning, sometimes we see the dawn just before the sun rises, very pretty in the sky, I've sent you 2 photos of the dawn here taken about 6:15am in the morning. 


Also, 2 photos of me sitting on a log out in the bush.

My letter this time is a bit short, but I have not forgotten you and I hope you like my little letter. Maybe I'll try to write a bit more next time. Remember - I love you all very, very much.

A snake from the past

These pictures are from a long time ago.
