Even the weeds are sorted and carted off to this animal or that animal or this group of birds. Manu is still a little mystified by real food. But Naomi is doing well at eating her vegetables and weeds and of course Poppy eats everything being a breast feeding mother and all. And all the chickens love their greens.
The girls had a lovely day weeding, it was not too hot. 
But I was in bed early – because I have a deep hacking cough. And it is exhausting. I so seldom get sick that I find myself bad tempered and frustrated with myself when I am a bit poorly. Plus this computer has decided not to accept any photographs sent from my new phone or upload anything from Camera House. So it might be time to buy a new card.
I will call the computer man today and Amanda took some photos with her phone and after a few tries my computer was able to receive them in an email. I know we are very lucky to even have this kind of technology but goodness it is frustrating when it does not work. Without all this we would not even have this blog. I should be more grateful but I am sick!
This is Geraldine. The little lone peahen. We don’t know if she is a peahen or a peacock but she is a feisty one. She is presently ruling the roost in the Turkey House. And doing very well.
I hope you have a lovely day. Do not be worried if I do not post tomorrow, it is possible that the computer needs work. And I need work. Thank goodness I have Amanda and her Mum to help out while I recover my health.
Amanda’s Grandmother puts goldfish in her water barrels to eat the mosquito larvae. And we have millions of mosquitoes this year. So tomorrow I might get some goldfish (when I am out getting a new card for Camera House and some cough mixture for these bloody lungs) and I am going to try this out. It sounds like a delightful idea. Though I will have to bring them in for the winter.
Oh and I almost forgot. Now that the calf is weaned from Lady Astor, we are getting PILES of delicious cream. So tonight we are making my favourite Russian meatballs with PILES of cream sauce.
Maybe I will put a few goldfish in the frog garden too. Hmm. We cannot get near that garden for the mosquitoes.
All is well on the farm except for my head.
Love your friend on the farm

Dearest, I hope by the time you read this you are already swiftly on the mend. Coughing is such hard work!!! Julie’s cough mixture sounds like the perfect antidote for both lungs and nerves. (Leave out the lemon and honey if absolutely necessary.) Sending love and cyberhugs and the hope that your farmy creatures will all see you through admirably. ❤

Hope you got something for that cough and are feeling better.
One year I had a large trash can to catch extra rainwater from the roof. Of course the mosquitoes found it, but I put a few fish in there. Worked great, and I’m sure the fish loved their diet!
