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

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

A few days ago there was finally a window with no rain and a bit of time, so managed to fill 4 feed bags with pine cones. Pine cones are excellent fire starters, full of resin and a rather large surface, thus burn really well,…

We created quills out of some duck feathers. They have the big advantage that the quill is actually pretty long already. Still not long enough to actually handle them properly though. Shaved some of the vane off and it was much better.

The wind finally eased down a bit but the arctic blast was still on. With chilly temperatures outside, what’s better than a nice fire? A fire with marshmallows!

First day in a long time without rainy weather, so we went down into the valley for fixing things, moving things and play things.

The first flood this winter has arrived. Usually, we have 2 or more of those events, but this year is the first time we have been having some fun in it. After all, why not?

I have lost count as to what day we are in but it does not really matter at the end of the day. Life continues not necessarily as normal but almost normal. Feels a little bit like holidays at home with a bit of working…

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.

We did a roundtrip down the hill for pine cone collecting, fence fixing, alpaca seeing and moo encounter.

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

Spring has just sprung and it’s getting time for tidy ups – spring time cleaning but outside.
