[Ag-eq] A litt of this and a little of that

Nella!  It is only forer the winter months:  June to October: that I won't  have stock on the 
BlanchRanch. Spring/summer/autumn will be as usual and I will have around 15 ewes or whethers.
You have not mentioned the calf for a long time, and I am  asuming that she has gone to her new 
home.  Did you find a suitable bull for Mary Ellen, and I am sure that is not her name, but sounds 
like a good old American handle!

Jewel I'm glad to hear all is going well for you.

Oh, that poor woman and her children.  I feel so bad for the little girl who
survived, that is a lot of grief for someone so young to manage.

I will miss hearing your sheep updates, but understand why you no longer
want to keep them.

Maybe I will move in next door and can lease your pasture. Lol

I hope your sister has a fun and safe trip.

Nella

Below is part of a letter that I sent to a friend .
I have cut out what was specific to her, but the rest of it is ok for the
general list.
My sister, Deslie drives to Christchurch today, Thursday, but she does not
leave New Zealand until Sunday.
First she flies to Australia where Liz, her Boston Terrier devotee friend
will join her, and then it is across the Pacific to Los Angeles and then Las
vegas.
I didn't ask her what the name is of the hotel that she will be staying in,
but she says that it is the only hotel in Vegas that doesn't have a single
gambling machine.
We are inclined to think that LV is just a lot of casinos joined by a bit of
space, not realising that it, in many respects, is just an ordinary American
city!
Now some BlanchRanch news.
I have my lamgs in today's stock sales, and will sell the ewes later when I
have used up all the winter feed that I still have on hand.
>From this winter on, I will have no stock on the ranch: buying in supplies
of winter feed is just too expensive.
I still have the last effects of the mild outbreak of Shingles, but they
are, gradually,
disappearing: thank gof for that!
With all that's going on in the USA, I doubt that there is much time given
to minor events in Australia and New Zealand, but some days ago, a cyclone,
named Debbie, swept through Northern Queensland. N Q got the wind, but it
was Brisbane and other parts of southern Queensland that got the rain, and
there has been severe flooding there: one ex-Kiwi woman and 2 of her 3
children were drowned when the van she was driving was swept into a flooded
river. There were 3 children in the van, but 1 of them, a 9-year-old girl
managed to escape and ran for 2 miles in bare feet to get help, but by the
time that it arrived, of course, it was too late.
Now, what is left of Debbie has crossed the Tasman and dumped huge amounts
of rain on central and northern areas of the North Island, and has caused
major flooding and land slippage there.
In Southland, we are too far south to be touched by weather bombs that are
built in the tropics.
This is yet another example of what I find myself saying on a daily basis, "
SOUTHLAND! New Zealand's best-kept secret and long may it remain so!"
The house beside me is tennantless again, just in case any of you are
tempted!
