THE GREAT LEVELER
I want to put two ll’s in leveller. (There are going to be problems when I get to SPELLING in my English course). Anyway, Our John thinks we got over Six inches yesterday. Nice light fluffy snow.
UNSIGHTLY ANGLE
Yesterday we received over an inch of rain. Oh. Happy New Year! In America! Sorry, keep forgetting things like that. The social niceties! Anyway we got over an inch -there is so much water in the ground and so little evaporation at this time…
LEACHING COLOUR
Slowly the colour is draining from the landscape. Very slowly. Inexorably. Without pity. Even though it is still a New Zealand winter the green is going.
LAST DAY
Tomorrow I leave for California – not for long – six days I think – so today John will do all the morning chores by himself so he can ask me any questions.
CHECKS AND BALANCES
Firstly, thank you so much for your incredible outpouring of support yesterday. It means so much to me to hear such care from so many of you.
CLEAR SKIES
And cold. This morning it is clear and cold. I am not going to start chores too early because all the animals will be staying still and curled up in their warm straw sleeping in.
LEGAL
I am now legal to sell eggs to the restaurants in Chicago and yesterday the chickens laid almost three dozen eggs and the ducks laid sixteen eggs. They are taking a long time to get big though.
THE EGG INSPECTOR
The egg inspector comes today. We are ready for him. Though little poo bum might stay in his bedroom for the visit.
THE MUCK
More rain. More mud. More scooping of the poop. And sadly our little piglet is not doing so well.
I LIKE DUCKS NOW
There was a time I really did not like these ducks. But they have grown on me. Yesterday one got caught in some nylon.
THE LONG SHADE
You can see the shadows growing long in these shots. Out in the late afternoon with my cows.
