Day 14 of 2024

 
One of the worst things is when the power goes off during milking - all the cups fall off the cows, and milk spills out of the receiving can.
It flickered on and off once during the afternoon milking, and then went off again five minutes later.
The MOML is a dab hand at getting the tractor and generator hooked up to continue on in peace!
The mains power came on again just as he was hosing down and cleaning up.

See you tomorrow,

Back to this again today.
Still drowning in plums!

See you tomorrow,

Day 12 of 2024

 
I had two smalls visit me at (my off-farm!) work today. They live just a short walk away.

They were fascinated by the range of thread colours but more so by the spring action way the thread spools 'pop ' put of the stand!

See you tomorrow,

The Grandies next door are enjoying lots of Monarch caterpillars at the moment.

See you tomorrow

Day 10 of 2024

These are my two young pullets, who I have put in the Pullet Palace in an attempt to quieten them down. Raised by an unfriendly hen, she didn't let me near them, nor them near me!

They actually relaxed and ate their dinner with me in there - for the first time. And they got relatively close to me,  to get at their food.

Patience will be required but I feel like it will pay off!

See you tomorrow,

Raewyn

Day 9 of 2024

 

Another one of those gorgeous mornings, on my daily hill climb.
Well worth the puffing and panting to get up there!

See you tomorrow,

Afternoon tea for Mum's last day.

'Girls Only photo'

(The boys were causing havoc somewhere else!)

See you tomorrow,
