The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring, Tra La

The roses are looking very speccy, some bushes are just a mass of flowers and the smell is gorgeous :)

The waterlilies dont last very long, but they are so lovely while they are flowering, and when they come 2 at once, its even better!!

The iris have also been lovely :)

Waterlilies and Polish Chicks

 Only one thing nicer than having a new waterlily, and that's 2 new blooms!!

Other new arrivals this week are these cute little polish chicks.  No rooster in residence any more so these will be the last.

Catching Up the next bit

Bianca is a lovely little cria, pretty, charming, inquisitive and always seems 'happy'.

Yes, she thinks her yellow ear tapes look pretty fetching too!

On Sunday I came home to discover that Narcissus had given birth to our first 'home grown' cria, a first cria for dad Alba - a black female - good job!!  We've called her Nefertiti and she's doing very well :)

Monday saw the early arrival of (Black) Pearl's cria, a blue black male, who we initially named Prince Charming, but have since re-named Jack Sparrow.  He is a Kok son, and quite lovely :)

The biggest belly competition!  Winner in the alpaca class is Fresian, due on March 14

And in the llama class, its Trinket, due on March 15

Lucien is growing well, coming along with lead and halter class and generally throwing his weight around with the younger and lighter crias!!

Here he meets Uncle Totem (left) and dad Carter (right).

Prize for 'most likely to be faking' goes to Vevina, pretty sure there is no cria - except in her head!  Disappointed about that, but can't change it.

A second waterlily for the season - really enjoyed it :)

Waterlilies and Hot Weather Cats

Last year the water lilies didn't flower - the leaves are a bit small and they are probably light on for nutrients… need to fix that… but this year we've got one small but perfectly formed bloom.

The cats are flat out coping with the heat wave, Skinny would like to travel to cooler climates…

And Fatty is watching TV shows about the ice polar caps…. don't change the channel… I was watching that!!  LOL!!
