Don’t you know it is rude to Stare!

Yesterday the bees were  out.  The two remaining hives seem to be doing very well. When my help is home on the weekend we will look inside their hives and do a health check. 

Kupa was caught going about his ablutions. 

Vigorously. He has reminded me that I promised to go to the Bantam Swap and buy him a wife.  He is getting ready.  The Market is open this Sunday morning.  So let’s hope we can find a pea hen. 

“Hey, don’t you know it is rude to stare. Can’t a guy get any privacy around here!” 

“Um NO.  No privacy around here honey. And by the way Kupa, your petticoat is showing!”

These guys are waiting too. No-one is entirely sure what they are waiting for, but they do a lot of waiting.

The butterflies and the bees were out in force yesterday afternoon. It was suddenly warm and moist. 

And once the wind died down a little, the air was full of insects of all descriptions. 

Good morning. So far this morning the day is dawning fine and clear. There is a bendy tree in the forecast though. When will the wind end? However I do have to go to the supermarket for the first time in over a month so that should keep me busy.

Mama is still not in tip top form,  so she is having small feeds of beet shreds and yoghurt throughout the day.  I brought Daisy up from the back paddock yesterday. She has a month to go before she calves so until then I am going to take her into the barn twice a day, and into her milk room, secure her, feed her and turn the pump on so she gets used to the routine and the noise of milking. But I went to put her halter on her and she has grown again and her head is TOO BIG. So on my trip to town I need to find a halter labelled Fat-Head Cow.

I hope you all have a lovely day.
