Mr bunny was terribly sorry this year, he had an accident and lost all of his eggs on the way through a hole in his bag. So all the lovely easter eggs are now spread across most of the farm, ~10 acres.

Did a stroll down to the alpacas with Jolan, our daughter. The halter we brought did not fit any of the boys or girls so we just fed them and progressed towards building a little bivy out of old branches and tree bark.

A weekend of alpaca shearing, vet attendance, fixing fences and water troughs.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
