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

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.

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

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.

The early spring mornings here are foggy and cold but beautiful.

This year we got two little baby choocks instead of calves.

When I was taking my little girl across the road to the school bus stop, I spotted a big fat bird in the tree that was watching me: A Kererū.

Yesterday Jolan came back with the first duck eggs. What a proud moment for the girl. And this morning she had one for breakfast.

Winter seem to have finally arrived. Frosty moorings with frozen grass. The was ice on the digger seat!

Another storm has been announced last night, so early this morning we finished the horse shelter area and moved the two boys over so they are going to have a more comfortable place during the day when the weather closes in.
