Nov 12, 2025 Farm Scenes
We’ve had stormy, rainy, windy weather since we got here. We are happy to lounge in the house, enjoying sleeping, eating, snacking, napping, eating again, watching TV, reading and canoodling. We did take a short walk during a break in the weather to stretch our legs.
A view of the homestead as we departed for our walk with the native forest covered hill in the background.
We walked over a hill and down the gravel road to see the muddy Mokau River flowing by on its path to the Tasman Sea.
The close-by hills are heavily grazed by mostly dairy cattle and some sheep. The distant hills are covered in dark native bush.
We enjoy watching the dairy cows parade past the back of the house on their several-times daily trek to and from milking or moving from paddock to paddock.
