Rest in peace Kahlua

kahlua, kids, life, loss of life

Usually we share happy moments and fun things. But this week’s a tough week for us, and most of you would know how special our cat is to us. We’ve had to say goodbye to our beloved Kahlua yesterday :'( Our loyal companion of 12 years left us very suddenly on Wednesday afternoon. She’s never been away from us, has moved 4 times. It’s so strange and will take some getting used to. We are just so grateful, that she passed away very peacefully. Both our kids don’t know a life without her.

Kahlua, we will miss you, rest in peace.

February was thought to finally bring summer. What it brought instead was more rain – and storm.

This year marks the first time that it was not us adults doing the wreath but our daughter herself with only very little guidance.

A goat ending story

How do you transport a goat that does not want to lay down, is somewhat hyperactive (on three legs) and takes interest in everything?

Within days, the hot summer weather had moved on and made space for moderate temperatures with rain and fog.

Muddy days

It’s been a few rather wet days. Some with intermittent sunshine but not enough to dry up the ground yet. The cats use the sunny breaks to go outside but other than that they seem to be in hibernation.

Lockdown – here we go again

If not doing office work, we fix fences, move animals around, collect, cut and chop firewood, dig trenches, build goat houses ;-) and fix all sorts of things that break over time.
