Friends arrive
All harmonious and happy down at the duck pond
More honey, more jam.
Chooks living harmoniously in the quail barn
I’m taking as many plants out of pots and putting them in the soil. If we get rain they will be happy and so will I
Taking honey on a very hot evening
We moved two families of chicks to the quail barn today.
The youngest five have their Silkie mum with them to defend them from the five older chicks. They all have much more space and shade in the barn. Our visitors have just been to see them
Our guests brought us a welcome gift
I worked outside very early this morning. It’s 11 am and I’ve retreated indoors – the heat is too much and the sun is dangerous
It was so hot today we didn’t even take our customary walk around the perimeter of the field
We sat, for some hours this afternoon, under the shade of the large ash tree – reading and dozing. The heatwave continues tomorrow and the drought could go on for months. I wash up in a bowl and pour all the water into buckets which I then use to water the tomato plants.
One fennel plant simply buzzing with activity
