Four more little babies arrived a few days ago. First time Mum and one hatched here on the farm. She's a lovely gentle hen and very calm and placid considering these are her first batch of babies!!
And on the subject of firsts.....Geoff's crop of raspberries and strawberries, with a few cherries thrown in! Not many as the canes haven't established yet but it's a start!
Talking of abundant fruit...... Anyone want a few ton of Walnuts?? The tree this year is absolutely laden and groaning under the weight of the nuts! After heavy rain like we have had these past few days the branches are not far from touching the ground! Last year we had a very severe late frost so we didn't really have many ..........this year we have thousands!!
And two sad little fellows who had tails and 'other bits' elastrated today. (not sure if that's actually a real word there!!!) So no twilight frolicking for them this evening,they just sat....side by side. Tomorrow they should be fine though.Poor little things....
