Farm Visit

Last weekend the tables were turned, and Freya brought Scarlett to the farm to visit us :)  It was fab.

Initially she was a little overwhelmed by the affections of Kiki and Yoyo, but she quickly learnt to make them 'sit'.




The vast amount of water in the dam was a huge attraction.





But the stuff lying around in puddles in the paddock was the best fun.



She enjoyed meeting the animals, and they were all keen to investigate the new little person in their midst!

Ducklings - wet and dry And A Spotty Future

Hatching day is a big day for ducklings, they need lots of rest and enjoy cuddles  ... Going....



Going.....


Going......


Gone!



Today they are having mega fun with bath time, underwater races and splash fests!!



Welcome new kid on the block Ulonga Morse.  Yesterday was a big day, a long trip and this morning he enjoyed brekky and then a nice lie in the sun.  




I was beginning to think his legs were painted on, but luckily after lunch he started getting up and about!  He is a very calm boy and beautifully well trained, my thanks to Nerida and John Aldred for allowing us to have these gorgeous boys.


Looking forward to some stunning spotty cria from this boy and his half brother Basil, both of whom are co-owned by Garrick Llamas of Burra Creek.  New lines and (more) lovely spots for us both!!  The boys will be alternating between the 2 properties and available for stud, details will shortly be available at www.maisonmauve.com.au

Bubbas, now and in the future

Casper and Nanook are growing up nicely, as is Missy Moo.  She is the youngest, but is nearly the tallest, though not the heaviest, but she's got the meanest temper and will not tolerate the boys trying to push her around!!  Casper is sweet and gentle like his mother, Nanook is larger and very curious, very people friendly like his mother.

 Missy Moo in the background, her mother Myriah in the foreground.  Myriah's mother is a suri, and although Myriah is a huacaya her hairstyle and neck fleece have definite suri 'influences'!!




Up at the road paddock I keep talking myself in and out of Tiana Rose being pregnant, her friend Vynka is due the same day and is looking very nicely rotund, but some days I can talk myself out of Tiana being pregnant at all... time will tell.

Took these pics of Collette today in order to show you how much like Alba she looks, but unhappily my camera battery went flat before I got to the boys paddock!!

Collette's signature look is very much deer in the headlights!!



Also up at the road paddock and in the pink is Jemma, still very keen on her brekky being delivered on time and with a side of more brekky!!


Dont be fooled by Misty's soft as marshmallow looks, she's very much in charge of herself and anybody else who'll stand still.  She and Noisette have been teasing the boys mercilessly, getting these girls through to breeding age without boys jumping fences will be a difficult job!  And they are definitely working against me!!



Old friends The Jester and Noisette, before Yuri and Misty arrived they were inseparable, but now they are not so often together, still get along well though :)  Both dominated by their more forward pals Yuri and Misty.



 Yuri, on the 'for sale' list - please see www.maisonmauve.com.au (shortly) for details.  Colour?  Technically white, but more accurately 'also comes in white'!!  LOL!!  Needs his toenails trimmed, down for a pedicure on Sunday!!  Doing well in lead and halter class, nice fleece for home spinner.

Foxes and New Bugs

Foxes - death to them all!!  This evening I watched as a big dog fox crossed the paddock toward my chook and duck pens     ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH but before I could do anything about it the llama and alpaca girls saw the bugger off!  Thank gods for that.

Tomorrow is a special day - and the aforesaid llama and alpaca girls seemed to be working against me and not for me on this one - new bugs are arriving.  Black Narcissus will have some 'look alike' friends and I'm delighted :)  So tonight when I called them in from the long paddock, they seemed to realise that being let out of the home paddock in the morning was not on the cards!!

I called them once - early, no response, no surprise, called them a second time - on time, no response, not happy!!  Krusher (my quad bike) to the rescue!!  Very tidy :)

Tomorrow some lovely black Lavender Park girlies will be joining the Maison Mauve crew - cannot wait!!

Pics soon.

Meantime I will be auctioneer's scribe at this weekend's auction at Berry - hope to see you all there :)
