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!

Scarlett, Taco and Me

Lucky enough to spend some Sunday time with Scarlett again this weekend.  Taco, the budgie, is getting very tame and Scarlett is learning to let him come to her and not to chase him!  And we had cuddle time - cant beat that!

Meanwhile in Melbourne ......

..... Young Jacob appears to have thoroughly enjoyed his first birthday party, sorry we missed it Jake!!

Photos then Shopping!!

This Sunday we attempted a marathon shopping event, fabric shopping in Queanbeyan and then clothes shopping in Belconnen, with a quick visit to the motor spares part shop... which didnt stock the spark plug I was looking for!

Quick snaps and then we were off!!  Scarlett was 'ready' for the flash!!

The shopping went quite well, except for the spark plug, and Scarlett had a lovely time on the play equipment in the mall at Belconnen :)

Scarlett - Working it!!

Scarlett loves her Sunday photo shoots, yesterday she was in fine form, loving it!

Last Sunday's Visit with Scarlett

As soon as she sees my orange bag, which holds my camera, Scarlett quickly gets ready, winning smile etc, and asks for her photo to be taken.  I'm happy to oblige :)

Paddock Shuffle

Yesterday was a busy day, we moved some of the animals into the new paddock across the road.  It needs to have the access road fenced off, and some yards and then be divided up into smaller paddocks.... but for the moment, its one great big paddock with a LOT of grass in it.  It is great to be able to see llamas (and alpacas and sheep) in a big chunk of our property that until now we havent been able to use.

 BeetleBub, Red Riding Hood and Gracie in exploring mode.

We meet Mareebah while we were out checking for small gums that will need tree guards if they are to make it fully grown trees.

It didnt take them long to find the dam, and though a sunny day, it wasnt much past mild on the temperature scale, none-the-less some of them went in for a swim!!

Jemma is a big fan of a little swim:
