Walkabout a sleepy farmy

A sleepy Sunday on the farmy for everyone but the farmers! 

How come they all get to doze while we rush about with wheelbarrows and fence posts.

Life is good for  little Queenie.

At least, with Daisy, we have a date as to when she is due to calve, or at least a week. In Late May. We will not have to deal with this guess work that we are having with you know who, who is walking like a cowboy because of her you know what.   I promise you next year Hairy MacLairy is wearing a harness with chalk in it so we know when they snuck off .  No guess work next year. 

But Daisy is looking beautifully round!

OI! What are you doing in here. 

What?

What are you doing in the garage? And what are you doing standing on top of the Convertible! That is Our John’s prized Chrysler 66.

What? Tock. Tock. Are you talking to me?

Yes I am talking to you.  You naughty peacock. Now, Kupa, stop that immediately and get off that car and get back to the barn. Peacocks do not belong in garages.  Garages are ugly.

Whaaa? Tock. Tock.

This is a garage. For cars. And cars are not for peacocks.  Back to the barn NOW Duke of Kupa or you are going to be in big trouble if John finds you on his car.

What? Who?

Duke or not you are going straight to bed.

Tock. Tock. Telling John!

Kupa! BED!

Good morning. Luckily TonTon has a lot of practise herding birds so we were able to gently move Kupa back to his pen before he was discovered gallivanting about on top of The Special car! I am going to have to start shutting garage doors. He is a nosy peacock.

However the new internal fence was finished. The new gate was put in.  Well, new old, Johns found it at a friends place. This is a lovely heavy gate and good for viewing from. When people come to visit they like to lean and watch the large animals graze. Or sleep.  Not the visitors the animals. This is such an awkward shot of Mama with Hairy through the fence behind her.  But the gate is great!  Daisy cannot undo this latch.

Good morning. Today, with the tractor, TonTon and I will be hauling away the manure piles and turning compost down the back.   All this compost is for next spring. We let manure break down for a year.

Have a great morning.. …

  1. That’s a great gate! I totally approve; after all I grew up in Taranaki, the land of gates. Kupa is certainly making himself at home.

  2. It sounds like your Easter has been very busy Cecilia and filled with many projects. At least the animals are well-rested. I love how your images show the changing of the seasons. The grass is certainly starting to look like Spring has arrived xx
