Happy for the endless rain to be over

Mr. Shady is happy in the new grass strip. Just two weeks ago the alpacas have been in there and kept it nice and short so he does not get overexcited.

After all that rain, the ground is getting better and the grass has been growing since. It must have been drowned in water before.

Not too long and we can let the new moos (calves) onto the grass as well. We have been walking Cheeky already yesterday and she has been extremely excited about all that new stuff outside the shelter. So many new smells. And she and Jolan will be having their great debut at the Waimauku School AG(ricultural) day on Friday.

Winter done and dusted

There was nothing extraordinary to write about this winter, really. It’s not been too wet and not too dry, neither too cold or too warm. We had a few frosty nights and a few pretty rainy days but all in all it was reasonably warm and okay from a mud perspective.

Sunshine, rain and lots of grass

The sun has been more prevalent and the odd shower has helped all plants to grow a lot. It’s nice to see so much fresh green in various shades

Springtime is here

The weather is getting warmer, and the days are stretching out longer, giving us more daylight to enjoy. The rain is slowly becoming less frequent, making way for sunnier skies.
