The latest installation by the OBA not the YBA

Using last year’s Jacob wool fleeces, we have covered one of the rhubarb bed to mulch out the weeds and the grass. It might not work but it looks like an art installation to me – by the Old British Art group not the Young British Artists of yesteryear.

In the ash tree, beside the gate, a song thrush sits high up and sings

Such a beautiful song

Here is a YouTube close/up video with sound (not my video)

Just one day of sunshine and spring begins to raise her head

Tiny rhubarb stems
Vivid pink primulas
Abundant, glossy chard
Some of it picked and washed and shredded to make a tasty chickpea dhal

Down at the pond the geese and wild ducks are enjoying the water. Click below

It’s a sunny morning

Poddy is calm and has stopped calling for her lost lamb
The almond blossom has just started to bud
Hyacinths are opening everywhere
As are the daffodils and snowdrops

There are lovely days but there are sad days too.

Poddy is mourning her stillborn lamb

Found this morning – a very large lamb but not alive. She is calling for her lamb. She is more accepting tonight and came into the barn to feed. Click below

Escape artists

The door of the duck run keeps on blowing open

And the ducks take the opportunity to explore the garden. I’m ordering some strong gate hooks today. Click below
