Berry Ag Show, Pumpkins, Valentine's Day and Sweet Pea Pops


On the weekend of Feb 15/16 I made another quilt run to Nowra :)  On the way I stopped in at Berry Ag Show, right across from the poultry pavilion - where I was delivering ducks - was the animal nursery, always a fun spot :)




As usual I enjoyed my stay with Shayne and Brad at Camberwarra and got to catch up with Tarquinn - outstanding in his field!


Also talked to one of Shayne's bunnies - DJ - hardly ever still!! but very friendly and very soft :)




And her Call Ducks



And her geese :)


Not sure who this goose had just told off, but whoever it was, they are minus a few feathers!!  LOL!!


Exciting garden news is that the Marina de Chioggia pumpkin has started fruiting.  This pic taken 13 Feb:


Growing well - 25 Feb:


Last, but very definitely not least, in the way of news was the early arrival yesterday - 24 Feb - of Sweet Pea's cria.  Finally a break in the series of males, she's had another daughter - YAYYY.  She is mostly white with some pale blue patches, on the back of her neck and her tail... will take a few days till she's all cleaned up and we can really see, and it will also take a few days for her to get over the premmie traits of floppy ears and low on her pasterns.  She is up and about now, has figured out where the milk supply is and seems to be doing well so far :)  We've called her Bianca.  Late afternoon birth, but text book in every other way, luckily a nice warm day so plenty of time to dry off before nightfall.






When I posted this entry I forgot to put up a pic of the gorgeous red roses Eddy got me for Valentine's Day, here they are:
