Waking up to a field of cows only meters from our front door and watching the farmer distribute feed from a tractor ~
Peace ~
Quiet ~
rejuvenating ~
Bird song ~
Green and Blue ~
Anticipating future adventures ~
This is our story of growing up in New Zealand
WoW! I love the smell of our cows in the morning ... I can almost smell the ones in these photos too. You guys are going to have some very special times in your new home and all that fresh country air, it smells so good. I hope you are not too tired with being pregnant and all that shifting and sorting. Many more splendid days ahead. Take special care. Obviously there are no electric fences on your property!!

I am so incredibly jealous of and happy for you! I think I'm stuck in a city until I finish school and get myself established in my career, but what I really want is a place like this in the country. Beautiful pictures.

Oh I'm so excited for you! Living in the country is the best!

I love that thoughtfulness-thing that seems to be part of three-year-old boys. Pops out of nowhere, so nice. Good luck getting the entire family's stuff sorted ...

I am very jealous of your new place, it just looks like heaven to me! Especially as I sit in 40C in Dubai, not a green field in site...
Love your blog, very happy to have stumbled upon it through domestic scene

Those tights of Sadie's are amazing! I am loving the photos. Hope you guys are doing well. I can't wait to get a piece of property out in the country. I want an ENORMOUS veggie garden and at least one cow, a goat, chickens, a horse, and an alpaca. It just looks wonderful. xo Bonnie
