Gratitude Today

Having mentioned the surprise visit from a snake, and the rural setting, it seems timely to be expressing Gratitude for the lifestyle here, living on rural acreage. 

Sitting here at my desk, the outlook extends across pastures and trees to distant mountains, with horses grazing near the house, as they wander just outside the windows, ever hopeful of being given the special treats of carrots.

There are beautifully colored birds in the area, and they often come down onto the verandah to see if there are some seeds on offer, and to chat with the pet bird.  The wild birds can also be heard singing in the nearby trees.  There are a few well-fed kookaburras also – they obviously don’t have any problems finding a good feed.

Kangaroos and Wallabies pass through the property, usually towards the afternoon.   Often they can be seen tending to young joeys in the pouch.

Recently a pair of wild ducks hatched twelve little ducklings which could be seen daily, wandering across close to the house.  It was surprising to see what good parents they were, always still with their twelve little ones following behind.  Surprisingly, all 12 survived, grew and flourished.

A meandering creek cuts through the property and there is also a forestry area which is pleasant to walk through. 

All this, in the peaceful rural setting, and yet only ten minutes in to town and about half an hour to the coastal beaches.  This coastal area is also a tourist destination, so there are lots of interesting activities and attractions.  Certainly a lifestyle to be thankful for.

There are two pages of photos of the property at: http://www.realestateforlifestyle.com

In Gratitude,
