Monday, Dec 1, was the first day of summer here. I sure hope it warms a bit for their summer. It's apparently been the 4th driest November on record. And a few oldies have commented that it's been the coldest spring in their recollections!!! This week some of the nearby communities have started with water rationing! Odd or even days of outside water use, and only between the hours of 5 - 9 PM. Andrew and Bella are still able to water their garden.
This last week we've hung around home and done regular family things!!!

| One of Andrew's fav meals - ribs, but look at the size of ribs here! |
Sunday we attended the Santa Claus Parade, amidst alternating sunshine and misting rain. Felt weird not to be freezing my toes, while waiting.

Andrew took the day off on Monday, and we were able to help set up the Christmas tree with Frieda and Evie!!!
 |
| Very special day! |
Andrew had to clean out and demite the chooks and their coop and yard. Egg laying production has been down to one egg per day in the last two weeks! So, we watched! Not a job I really wanted to help with!!!

Our grandchildren have changed so much since we've arrived here. Evie is smiling and cooing, and wants to be held upright and front facing ... so she doesn't miss a thing. She loves her tongue and playing the 'tongue game' with us. Frieda has mastered riding on her balance bike, and is much more comfortable coming to snuggle with us. We have become a part of their life, and they a part of ours, and now it is soon time to leave. Bittersweet!
