Farmyard Critters

My camera does some talking about life on our wonderful farm.  Our farm is alive with critters large and small!!

In our workshop all work on the mechanical saw came to a stand still when Mr and Mrs Cape Wagtail decided that this was the best place to set up home.  With all the rains that we have had in the area, I guess they decided that the noisy workshop was safer than out in the wet and cold

The chicks hatched, they fledged and now enjoy reducing the fly population in the nearby calf pens





























 The chicken run is a great source of enjoyment for me and Tessa my Border Collie, she takes pleasure in 'herding' chickens for me.

My sleepy cat Joe is 17 years old, Joe spends his days and nights sleeping, eating and gardening with me.

These hooves are made for walking

Why do we need to wait so long to get to those greener pastures across the road

So are you going to let us go after this photo

Emma, Nathan and Ashley at play

It is such a blessing to live on the farm with our grand children, we spend many hours discovering and having fun.  Here are some Granny blessings.

A trip to town, shopping and refreshments at Mug and Bean

Ok Granny, so if you want me to pose, here goes!!!

Oh Granny, do I really need my photo taken whilst drinking this yummie milkshake

A little man needs to concentrate very hard when putting jam on his muffin

A walk to the end of the road:

Our grand children love to climb onto whatever they find, the cattle loading ramp, the gate and what ever else they find!!

Ashley on the loading ramp

Ashley looking shy

Nathan and his toothless smile

Ashley's school play which I attended was such a joy, I battled with the lighting, so photos not up to scratch!!
