The last few months were pretty dry with no rainfall other than a few drops that pretty much instantly evaporated upon hitting the ground. I think the last rain was some time before Christmas last year which would make it three months with no rain…

It’s been a long time without any rain and pretty dry. Not sure how much this will be but anything is better than nothing.

Contrary to Honky, our frizzle hen Fluffy has been broody for several weeks and been sitting on no eggs – chicken brains are funny. So we decided we give it a go and shoved the three duck eggs under her. She’s been a happy chicken…

Spring soon will turn into summer and the weather during the day is already so awesome.

Over the last couple of weeks we had quite a mix of weather – typical spring. From lovely warm and sunny days where you easily get sunburned to torrential rain that flooded the valley.

Spring has just sprung and it’s getting time for tidy ups – spring time cleaning but outside.

The weather has not been too amazing over the last couple of weeks.

Alpaca maintenance was on the cards this week – One of our winter tasks… ‘Pedicure’ for each animal, vitamin injection and drenching.

Not that we lost winter in a hole, but the valley got so soggy over the years that we used the still good autumn weather to dig drainage in preparation for the wet winter time.

The last bit of rain has been some time ago and the weather forecast shows no rain for the next two weeks.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Its been pretty wet all of yesterday and this morning the valley greets us with a bit of ponding water.

We had a few hours of exploring our little bush strip in the gully.
