This year has been one out of the box..we lost our darling old pup..we are losing the other..we have spent months going from vet office to busting a gut outside in preparation for our Daughters wedding..throw in a nose operation the septic throwing a fit things breaking down breaking up or just breaking bad! as we rounded the finish line to the wedding hubby on his way to work at 4.30 hit and killed a joey that came out in front of my new car..poor Joey died instantly Hubby was fine..car ..well it’s been written off..the day after that our daughter called to say her sweet inside kitty Sherriff had gotten out and not come home..thankfully he did after a couple of restless nights.
The few markets i could attend have been pretty dismal..the weather so bad we cancelled several..it has certainly put a dent in my enthusiasm to say the least..investment versus reward..in the negative. I will be seeing how the markets go over the next few months but i think if it is a case of me basically not even covering my costs at the minimum then i am done, i will just keep going long enough to cover the contract of my eft machine as really financially it is costing me.
The time i have spent out taking pictures this year is minimal..i feel like with all that has happened i have lost a year..no canola trips ,mountain trips, nothing i enjoy.
Apart from a brief trip overseas and our daughters wedding the whole year has been pretty horrid.
I will not even go to the sadness that has befallen so many of my dear friends..sadness that weighs heavily in my heart.
So that is a brief explanation for my lack of blogging..even as i type this i have done no Christmas cards..have all manner of paperwork for market that i really am over ,need to get prints replaced and have let Doc out three times for a peemail.
I have the vet AGAIN this afternoon…so i leave you all with these pictures.
But like purple in these images has now all but gone from the landscape..so shall my Purple Patch..

Well Bev I think you have just been overpowered with a very tough year indeed but you know the more of life that I life, the more I see there are the highest highs as well as the lowest lows…..but usually we return to the middle and you will too. Loss takes your breath away but hopefully only temporarily and I think your considerable talents with photography will again “have their time”…….I know that I had to close down my online card shop because it not only was gobbling up too much of my time but I made just enough to pay for my supplies! Your work is so stunning – you give it some time and you will find your love of looking through the lens is SO worth it…..scale back if you have to…..but do it for YOURSELF even if you stop selling your work. Anyway, my heart is with you and Doc just as I know your heart has been with me over Sam. We will both return to that “middle” I’m sure – “all things in their own time” …………………… Sending you warm hugs and thanks along with Christmas wishes for you, Phil and the gang.

Pam you are indeed right..my heart has been preoccupied..and yes i get the gobbling of time for hardly any reward..the reward was always the sharing..seems scaling back may be the way to go..i think being either on the property working or stalking the vets has taken away that luxury of time..the highs are wonderful but as is the universe the lows must come..we have all had one of those years..the bounty of joy will come back..i kind of like the middle myself..gives you just enough calm and just enough bumpy to help you see clearly..i know you understand the losses..and all i can think is how blessed we are that through our fur kids this blogging community formed..and as sad as we all feel for each other i feel more for those whose loss is alone with no support..our fur kids gave us this..what a wonderful gift..Doc is being given every chance at the moment but like Sammy his body is rebelling..for now he snoozes..warm and comfy…
Sending all our love to you and David and let us all have a Christmas our precious ones would enjoy..

The purple is beautiful. My godparents were from Austrailia. My husband goes there for business a lot (his company makes most of the world’s beverage cans) but I’ve not visited with him as I’m caring for an elderly parent. Just know today, in the loss of your Doc, that one little family up in the US is thinking of you.
