You will find carpets of bluebells. So peaceful and beautiful.
If you go down to the woods today………
All is quiet on the maternity ward
Three more hens have “gone broody” and are sitting on two goose eggs each
The baby goslings are growing fast and will soon be as big as their surrogate mum
Mabel has three interests in life
Crisps (she asks for them every evening as the whisky is poured for the humans)! She is also a fan of boxes
So much to see and so many animals to feed
Early morning Sunday in mid spring
Yellow is the colour
Of cowslips
And of turnip flowers (I’m not very partial to turnips so these have gone to seed but the flowers are pretty).
And a pale yellow moon tonight
Pied wagtails nesting in the old cow barn
First asparagus of the season
Apple blossom on the way
Loved up with lambs.
Lambikin, Susie and Spot
Learning to cook with honey and giving the bees a helping hand
Once the fields, crops and flowers are in abundance the bees will have a plentiful supply of pollen and nectar. The syrup is a supplement until they can fend for themselves and it encourages them to draw out more cells for storage which helps the colony to expand.
If you have an itchy back
