Most animals stick to electric fences – our alpacas do not.

Sometimes we have pretty little visitors, like those rosellas, parakeets or phesants. Today some rosellas flew by and landed on the deck balustrade.

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.

The vet found Daffy in his grandpa feeder for his chickens and Norbert got dropped of at the local vets. We thought we would take them home so they can be friends for our other rescue ducks.

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.

Found this Praying Mantis on our gumboot holder, eating a wasp and managed to get a nice close-up picture of her and her pray.

Today Ziggy went to the doctor to get her stitches removed. They have been so itchy for the past two weeks since her playing with traffic.

Ziggy the cat went missing Sunday night and returned Monday morning injured. After emergency surgery at Vets North Kumeu, she’s now recovering safely at home.

Jolan reading Ziggy a story. Poor Ziggy is almost disappearing between the cuddly toys.

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

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

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.
