I love these images of our cows and a pig. Poppy and one of her babies. The wind is still blowing and we are all caked in dust – though I am sure this is absolutely nothing compared to the dust bowl, it feels like a mini one. Lady Astor The blowing dust reminds me of …

Can I have him?
“PLeeeeeaaaase.” says BooBoo. “Can I have him?” This is the little piglet who I am trying to get to eat a little more. He is so small. He sleeps a bit much and is always bottom of the heap, but seems pretty sprightly when he is up and about. He is very friendly and when …
Last Light
Yesterday I was in a hurry so I shot all these images using my Iphone. But my constant companion – Phone – hates my laptop. No reason. Just fact. And if I say it often then enough surely it will become a fact? These pictures took 24 hours to appear in my email and …
I hope the sun comes out
Boo is still on bed-rest and doing it hard. He is allowed short forays with me on a leash, and spends time on the chain by the barn where he can watch. Mostly I have to leave him inside when I go out to work so he does not run loose at all and John …
Do what you can –
– because sometimes it is going to rain on your life and then you can only do what you can. And sometimes it is Cold hard rain. And sometimes it is on the day you had pegged to cut hay. And that is what we had yesterday. Wet, cold, hard rain. But the work went …
Boo and His Babies
Yesterdays comments lounge is worth a look, if you have not already been. We had one of our magic Fellowship days. I love our discussions, wish we were able to have a coffee with that! I read through all the comments yesterday again and again, Kim and Esther read along with me, in our cyber …
Do you believe in miracles and magic and angels?
‘This is weird.’ John said, as he trudged back from the house to the hay field. He had checked the weather again when he went inside to take his cherry pie out of the oven (the cherries are ripe!) . “It looks like every storm that is coming our way today hits something and kind …
I can’t find Pania the Peahen .. now what could she be up to?
Tui the peahen is still on her nest (her eggs are due to hatch on July 2nd) and Pania the other peahen has slowly become more and more absent. And now I have no idea where she is. There are a few more hiding places to search but Hmm… I think to myself. I wonder …
Free days – when the farm feeds the farm.
There is something deeply satisfying about eating a meal from your own land, in a room you created. Home grown, grass fed steak, with asparagus from down the back and hollandaise using my own eggs and butter, a salad from the garden, cheese from Daisy’s milk followed by rhubarb from the garden and home made …
Red door
This is what the kiwi builder was up to. He and John put in the first of the red doors (there are three)… the inside of the door is red too so when it stands open all summer the colour is still present. The Goldilocks windows.. these are the most extravagant of the windows but …
