I’m A Girl, But I Have A Boat Anyway.

Having a boat seems to be a boy thing. Lots of guys have a boat. I do too.

I have a small boat. Just a simple aluminum boat, about 13 feet long. Its got its own trailer so I can tow it, I dont need to put it on the roof of the car.

It was raining and blowing hard when we went away last week. The kids had school holidays so they said they didn’t want to spend the whole time at home, so we went away for a while. And though it was raining hard at first it soon stopped and got sunny so it was really nice.

The holiday place was nice. I chose it because it had lots of things for kids to do. Kids always need to be occupied, so if you go somewhere where there arent any kids facilities then youve got a problem. Bored kids.

Bored kids can be the worst thing you can do for your holiday. They are grumpy and unhappy and keep hassling you all the time to play with them, when all you want to do is to sit and relax and read a book. Kids hassling you doesn’t mesh well with bored kids. Bored kids, stressed parents.

But the kids were happy over the weekend thank god. There were so many things that they could do, including jumping up and down on this huge plastic thingy, and they just loved that. That alone kept them happy.

And in the games room there was something that the kids loved too, a massive tv that had a kids movie showing every night so they just sat in there all the time in the evenings. Like all kids mine like tv.

And of course there was the swimming pool. I can’t believe something as simple as a swimming pool keeps kids entertained for so long.

And more about my boat. It was great for a number of reasons. Firstly it was a great way to get the stuff transported. The kids bikes are too big to take in the car but if you have a boat along then you can just throw them in the boat and they’re taken care of.

So it was really worth taking the boat along. We spent some time on the local river puttering up and down looking at the scenery and having a good time. We stopped and spent an hour or so having lunch while the kids ate and had a swim in the river and it was a little cold. And we got to sit and read a book in the sun.

And the lake was great too. Last summer I bought an inner tube and rope and towed the kids around with it so I brought it along this time too and they loved it just as much. In fact it was difficult to get them off it, they lived it. They just wanted to spend the day there. (more…)

Why Is It I Like Living In The Country? It’s The Birds, Silly

Filed under: The Life Of Jenny Explained — jenny8974 @ 9:31 pm

Ive already said how much I like living in the country, I really do love it.

But one of the good things about the country is the birds. I love to see birds around.

There’s really a stunning number of birds out here, so many you can’t believe it. Maybe it’s because there’s so many trees in the country. The birds live in the trees and pick off the pods from the leaves and eat them all, you can see them doing it all day. They pick them off with their claws and hold them to eat.

Although I do like birds they do make a mess of my trees which is a shame. When they break off a small branch to eat the pods they drop it on the ground and it looks like a battlefield under my trees, bits of branch everywhere. Just mess everywhere.

They have wonderful. They’re parrots and all parrots have stunning colors I think. And they like to sit on the window sills and verandah posts around my house and look in at me, and I find that if I sit really still then they don’t fly away, they just sit there, and that’s such a treat. I love having them around and Iv’e got one sitting there now.

There’s damage to the trees like I said but it’s still great having them around and I love it. I could frighten them away when they start damaging the trees and then I wouldn’t have the damage but I’d rather let them come and sit on my veranda. If I send them away they might leave for good.

Its got to be so much better out here. Ill bet there’s no birds like that in the city. Too many people to scare them off and no trees for them to come along to eat from.

And it’s not just birds, there’s so many animals, and as I love animals I’m happy. I’m surrounded by animals and birds too. And cows.

I think it’s really good for you having animals and birds around. It’s nature and nature is important. It’s like life for everything else around us. (more…)

If You Live In The Country You Just Have To Have Cows, Well Animals Anyway.

Filed under: The Life Of Jenny Explained — Tags: — jenny8974 @ 9:26 pm

I like to have cows. They’re really big yet they’re so gentle. In all the time Ive had cows Ive never had a bad moment with them. They aren;t aggressive and they are even tame enough so that my kids can pat them a little, though they don’t like being patted a whole lot, they tend to pull back when you pat them.

Just pull back a little that’s all. Nothing more.

The best time to pat them is when you feed them hay. They just love hay, and when the grass growth is getting slow because winter is coming you need to supplement their feed with hay or something else. I have hay so that’s what I feed my cows.

Now of course if you are feeding the cows hay you’re committed to feeding them every single day. Every day even if you’re not feeling like it, or maybe it’s raining. If you don’t feed the cows they starve which isn’t good. And if you are feeding them hay that’s the time to pat them. My cows love hay.

I feed them the hay myself. I like my holidays though so when you go away you have to have something to do so that the cows are fed. I do this all by myself. You have to take care of your cows.

I have various paddocks each fenced off with good fences. 6 in total. So when I have plenty of grass in the paddocks I lock one up and leave it with the long grass in it. Then when I go away I open the gate to that one and the cows discover that the gate is open and head in there. It lets me go away from time to time.

And when I open the gate to the paddock with the grass they’re in there as fast as they can, because they’ve seen all that grass when they look through the gate. Cows aren’t stupid you know.

Then when I come back I shoo them out of that paddock and back into the one with no grass and I start feeding them the hay again. And pat them.

Right after breakfast I feed them their nice hay. They get about 2 1/2 bales of hay every day but if it’s too cold I give them 3 bales of hay and they eat the lot. And they’re not silly, they know when feeding time is, they’re waiting right out the front of the shed for their hay. They know.

In fact this morning I gave them 4 bales. But it’s getting warmer soon and the grass is beginning to grow and that’s good because I don’t have a lot of hay left. But that’s ok because I’ve got more grass coming so I’ll have more hay soon, so 4 today. (more…)
