DAY 24 // Farmhouse Finds

Alright, another day, another dollaaa. Farm Update:

Today, the wheat was harvested! All day long these massive green tractors combed the acres and acres of wheat, cutting it all and spitting the access in a cloud of dust behind it. Really cool to watch.

After work we took a little trip into town because Camille had to do some banking. But of course we couldn't go home before first making a stop at the Reject Shop. (For those Canadians reading, this is the aussie dollar store.) This place is full of awesome stuff that we don't need..yet love to buy anyways because we need to stay amused some how in this town. Reject Shops excite us!

I laughed at Camille's bag as we were walking out of the store this time... here is what was in it.

{My favourite is the "BBQ & BEER- Drinking Songs" CD. Definitely busting that one out this weekend. Oh and on the bottom right, its hard to see but that is dental floss.}

For my creative bit I decided I'd post some photos I have taken of my favorite quirky farmhouse things. The farmhouse we live in is totally shabby chic..at least I think so. Its super old and drafty with spiders and insects on the walls, cobwebs in the corners and geckos in the bathroom..but it has a ton of character. It reminds me a bit of my Nana's house. When we were little we would go over there and eat cheese and crackers and sit in her breakfast nook. There were crocheted tea towels hanging on her cupboards, tea cozies, peeling floral wallpaper, lace curtains, nik-naks everywhere and the cutest little country kitchen. So I guess you could say living in this place.. is a little nostalgic.


Enjoy! :)

DAY 20 // We At The Motel

Well folks, another Sunday, come and gone. And I can say this Sunday was truly a fun day!

We were invited to a afternoon BBQ with some friends we met last weekend during our Saturday night out in town. They're a chill bunch of dudes who work nearby as tradesmen doing scaffolding and stay at one of the local Motel's called the Appolo while they work here. I Gotta say.. it's a pretty descent spot. With a nice pool, lounge chairs and BBQ area.. it made for the perfect little sunday gathering, and was definitely a step up from our kiddy pool....

So we wandered over there mid-day and enjoyed an afternoon of cold drinks, heaps of food and refreshing swims in the pool. It was insane how much food the boys had bought..racks of lamb, steaks, beef and pork sausages along with all the fixens.. a straight up aussie, manly-man BBQ and great for our hangovers...

It was so nice to get out of the house for the day and enjoy some local's company, Biloela style.

So for my creative bit I thought I'd just post some photos that have been laying around in my phone, documenting this week on the farm and also include some from today at zee Motel. I can't always carry around my nice camera so I'm grateful for my IPhone and some brilliant editing apps. I use the app called Afterlight for my photos usually because I love the washed out, film style filters it has, along with ability to edit virtually any other aspect of the photo (contrast, exposure, shadows, highlights, borders etc etc.) fast and easy. 

So heres a glimpse. Enjoy!

DAY 18 // TGIF

DAY 18 Complete.. and not only is it friday, but apparently, it's a long weekend too! Perfectttt.

Double the win for this fantastic day. Sadly, no rowdy night out planned, but a movie and some chocolate will do for us tonight...oh and I indulged in A cider after dinner, compliments of Ian. Cheers Mate!

I promise there will be some more exciting posts coming up..I was scrambling this week, having had it so rough with those weeds out on the farm and being so damn exhausted. BUT I have plenty of creativity a brewing for the days to come. (Though I am realizing how much a true challenge this really is..producing cool things everyday is hard!)

OH! I have added a new fancy feature to this blog - on the right side bar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So Cheers to Friday! Or for those not in the future like us aussies, Cheers to Friday being just around the corner!

Until Tomorrow xo

DAY 14 // Music Monday

Hello Monday.

Thankfully today went by pretty quick out on the fields because the weeds were out of control and Cam and I kept screwing up. Like accidentally hitting the water hose that runs through the ground to water the pumpkins (the "tape", they call it) with our chippers, puncturing holes in line and causing leaks. Or mistaking a pumpkin plant for weeds and chopping the whole thing off.. oops. Lucky for us Ian never gets mad and he usually laughs at us, making a joke that we're still a sleep or that we're thinking about boys..the problem is usually the sleep bit. Today I felt like a zombie.

I've been listening to music a lot out on the fields and I'm getting pretty bored with my playlists so I spent the afternoon downloading some new music, most of which I've found through 8 tracks (for those who don't know about it..heres the link: http://8tracks.com)

These are some of my favs at the moment. I feel a bit out of the music loop lately..I haven't listened to the radio really in just about 6 months. But that's probably a good thing too because the radio is over played with crap most the time anyways, right? So though these songs might not be "new", they are new to my little ol' ears.

Goodnight!
