Another tiny peek at Authors kittens. 
By my reckoning they are about 5 days old.
They can both easily lay in the palm of my hand now. Growing fast.
They are very wriggly and busy though.
I brought them out into the light for a photo and just came out and fed them there. Then followed them when I hid them again in her special corner. Soon we will have to think of names.
As you know dandelions are protected around here, as well as being good food for me and for cows the flowers are good for bees. However I feel a little Hoist on my own petard. The dandelions in the asparagus patch are getting out of hand. I need to put more straw over each of the asparagus crowns to deter the weeds.
I love the colour though.
Good morning. Daisy arranged herself in a perfect center of the Dairy Mistress field, then called out for a photo. She has adapted beautifully to the green grass and is not being fed hay at all now. She still has her beet shreds with molasses, a dash of cider vinegar and a few drops of mastoblast at milking time to strengthen her immune system. Her production is still increasing and I made ice cream yesterday! I will order my new electric fence today and begin to more intensively crop this field. It is is almost tall enough. Queenie can come in to help.
It is raining here today, and a bit colder. Daisy has brought herself up to the milking parlour and is leaning over the fence mooing at the kitchen door. Time to begin. A beautiful damp day ahead. You have a lovely day too my darlinks. Al is well.

Oh my, you don’t even have to be a cat lover to appreciate those precious lil’ darlings! Squeee! I am so charmed by your narratives of the progress of your farm and animals.
Lovely photos all around, but those kittens are just the best! Author seems to be a good mommy!
I feel so happy seeing that green grass (after all, I’m a Taranaki girl!) I know you are flat out, spring-time busy busy, but if you have a spare moment you might enjoy a bare-foot walk with me through the hinterland:

I am so ignorant, but how does your beekeeper create Queen bees????
Glad I don’t love near you I would be adopting those littles babies! Instead we have two new chickens this week!
How exciting to get chickens.. are they point of lay? I shall pop over and see.. c
I love the dandelions around your beds! I have in my head the forming of a post or newspaper article about my love of those yellow flowers, given to me by the fistful by my two boys since they first learned to walk.
Cuuuuute!
It’s been so long since I’ve held baby kittens. Daisy looks quite lovely out in her field.
Thank you C! I do just love those little guys. 🙂 So fuzzy!
Those are some good looking kittens! Awwww bet they’ll be teenagers before you know it! What’s happening with your queen less hive?
