Well surprisingly the last week of work sailed by like a blink of the eye! I'm shocked as it's 1 bad to have workers working for you when you are getting prepared to go on holiday and 2 it sucks to be the worker as it always seems the week drags on and you have no desire to work or deal with the task handed to you. But lo and behold it did not turn out to be that bad! Probably because we got to throw out fertilizer onto the young vines which included sitting on the back of a tractor scooping up hand fulls of these blue dip 'n dot sized pebbles. It was like being in a parade and throwing out candy to all the little kids! It was so fun! And our hands turned blue like a smurf. But mainly we were hungry for Dip 'n Dots as they looked like the bowl pictured above but all blue! It was very tempting to indulge especially in the intense heat but I don't quite think it would have been near as refreshing as we would have hoped! hahahaha
After that our 5 weeks of being out at the vineyard came full circle as we had to return to the block we trained at the start of our stay at Willra. So... you know what that means! Spiders ONCE again! The number of run ins were minimal to our first encounter with these young vines but needless to say still discouraging and yucky for lack of a better word! I would share with you the story of the face off I had with one mother spider but as I've been pointed out by my environmentally friendly friends I'm a heathen and an environmental vandal so I won't expose my crimes on a public forum such as this so I don't receive more scrutiny for my unkindly deeds.
On a much happier note I get to see my Daddy tomorrow and I'm oh so excited! Danielle has given the run down of our planned adventures so just click on her name to the right of the screen but I will of course keep you updated on our adventures as they happen or sometime after as I don't know my computer access abilities at the present moment. I'm excited my dad gets to come visit for Christmas this is our first overseas adventure together and I'm so excited he gets to experience Australia with us! My Auntie Cata and Uncle John are joining us as well and for all of you who know all of these individuals you can see we have some fun times ahead of us! Laughter all around!
Until next time!
