Last night we had a bit of rain and this morning the temperature was +3 degrees C. There was snow on the Bulwer mountain and across from us there was a light sprinkling of snow on the hills. The fire is lit and I'm in my winter overalls and a light jacket. We are in for a cold winter this year but hopefully we won't be snowed in.
The garden is having it's last trim for the season and so the place looks better. This morning I heard over the Farm Watch radio that many cattle were stolen in the Bushmans Nek area. The local farmers in the valley are tracking them with the help of the SAP Stock Theft Unit and the Parks Board. So far they have recovered over 70 head of cattle. Hopefully they will recover them all. Stock theft is a terrible thing and one or two of our farmers have been put out of business as a result. I am waiting to hear more news over the radio.
Cold, 'tiz
