Mad Cow!

Ever had the urge to go and sit down in a paddock of Summer grass and lie back and watch the sky.....((((((((((((( play soft pretty tinkly music.)))))))))........with two cows??????? ( cancel music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)  We think the horses are bad ???? Try these two!

Hello there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zucchinis on their way for chook food were stolen within a minute................

l had no idea cows even LIKED Zucchinis!

l had no chance of sitting down for a peaceful few minutes............

None!!!

 l was pushed................

Shoved................

Licked................

Rubbed....................

And chewed..............!!!

And inadvertently created my own special photo without even knowing!!!!!!

All quite surreal really!

 

 

Success!

The last of my duckling saga! Six healthy strong ducklings hatched. One got stuck and the egg went cold. Dan to the rescue...........a few nights on a hot water bottle and under a heat lamp then back with Mum. So 7 out of 7 and all going well. A joy to watch as usual!
The little last one.........sitting next to his thermometer.......94 degrees constant!!!

 Fast asleep!

Under the ever watchful eye of everyone else!!!

Lining up for a paddle!

 My turn!!

The one on the left is the little one from above  only minutes after l put him back out with the others.. Being looked after by Valentine. The first one to be hatched!

Altogether. Well done Peg............well done Me!!!

And it's time for the Public Holiday Lillies to raise their strange little heads out of the bare earth!!! Geoff and l are never sure if they are called Easter or Christmas Lillies....hence our 'own' name for them! Works for us!

And then there were three!

Happy Peg!

Proud Peg!!!

After Peg's Quoll attack she went broody! Unusual as you wouldn't think that stress and injury would do that but it did. Poor Peg sat on her infertile duck eggs with her sad blood covered little face and her stumpy wing! How could l not feel soooooooo sorry for her! She hatched some baby chickens last year and they were all taken by a passing White Goshawk. l relented this time and put an advert on our local Classified Website looking for some fertile duck eggs. l lady l know quite well through work saw the ad and knew about Peg and her mishap ,so happily gave me a clutch of Indian Runner Eggs. Very exciting as the first one hatched yesterday!!!

This photo is very bizzare....... he is looking decidedly like a rabbit!!!

 Peg is very happy!!!

 For less then 24 hours old he is a monster!!!

Eating, drinking...having fun!

Six more to go!

 

 

The World according to Max!

Yesterday we decided to grab the horses and take them for a walk up to the top paddock. We hadn't been up there for a while , it was a beautiful evening, and we thought we would take a bottle of cider and beer and have a peaceful end of day drink in the shade of the goats' shelter we built last year.
Get beer, get cider, horses and Lilli in her favourite carry bag. (Treeka had to stay behind as she is terrified of Mad Max!) Easy!  Geoff led Max and the big fellow just walks alongside .

 The first sign of trouble began when Geoff opened his beer..........

And we sat down...................... Hello there!!! 

What have you got?

Can l have some?

Seriously l would LOVE some beer................

We both would...........

Or Cider.................Some cider would be fine.....................

Ahhhhh Clips is bored...................he has wandered off!

Maybe l will just stand over you on my own...................

And take your hat off!!!

You put it back on?????????????

Why???

l will take it off again!

Why??? Cos its fun! And l don't want you to relax!!!

Hey Clips???? Bozo..... l have his hat!!!

You're no fun anymore!!!!
