In the Garden

The garden is looking very nice at the moment, and the orchard is a sea of blossom... a fact not wasted on the local corella population :(









Trying to do some work at the computer today - this is the amount of chair that Kiki can spare for me to sit on .... apparently!!



Met a puppy today - my mailman Steve's new (female) mail buddy, Trixie.  Good to know my letters will be in such good hands!!

Bearded Iris and a Popping Incubator

The irises are starting to come into their own in the garden, they always look speccy.




I always love the two tone ones :)


Bantam araucana chicks:



And silkie chicks, have had to band the legs of one, but hope it will soon be 'good as new':

The first bearded iris, the pink rose, chickens and other ducklings

The first bearded iris for the season are out - and taking a hammering from the wind!!





The pink rose bud is getting better and better, fantastic salmon pink:



Judy has 7 ducklings now, (I have sold 7!!) those remaining  include one mini duckling (blue fawn, extreme left) and one micro duckling (fawn at the rear left), they are hearty eaters, but just grow more slowly than their siblings.


I am growing out a few araucana babies from our own stock, and they are growing up with a couple of crazy (but gorgeous) polish chicks and a lone modern game bantam, who has of course turned out to be a roo!!
