We made use of the long weekend – yes, it’s Auckland Anniversary weekend – and did some farm maintenance.

Silver with her bunch of cuties. She had 4 kittens, so extremely cute.

Silver gave birth to 3 beautiful kittens very early on Saturday morning, so yesterday was a very slow day here on our little farm after a very short night with Ms Silver’s new arrivals.

Spring is in the air. The weather is getting warmer, so I did my walk down into the valley to check the water supply to the troughs, checked all fences and gates.

It is getting somewhat busy in the kitchen. The kittens are getting more mobile, have left their home and mom is running busily after them. It also means that you really have to watch your steps as there may be some nosy little creature crawling…

What a surprise! Our cat Silver Shadow delivered 3 kittens today.

Today Shady and his rider Jolan had a first time participation at ribbon day.

They hang around, don’t go too far away from their herd and very easily follow you back into the paddock after you opened the gate for them.

Anyone in need of a carpet cleaner? Search no more, we have a cute one for you.

Our new ducks have been temporarily located on our front lawn as as with all temporary things, they last far too long. So after a few months and completely destroying our lawn, the ducks finally moved onto the paddock next to the chicken.

the amount of rain we had over the last few days is extraordinary – at least on a subjective level. The occasional hours of sunshine in between evaporate the water quickly, hence yesterday we had 30 deg C. with 80% relative humidity.

Yesterday was such a hot day that the ducks did not come out from their shady space underneath their house.
