We picked her up a week ago and time has flown ever since. It's a bit like having a toddler around again. Very cute and fun and time consuming.
Off to explore the paddock, so small yet so confident.
Holly meeting her two new big brothers, Luke and Beau. Her way of winning everyone over, be they dog, cat or human is to wag her tail furiously until it's just a blur.
Beau getting down to her level to show he can play like a puppy too.
This intriguing little annual is an ideal plant for pots or gardens in shady or sunny areas. There are lots of individual varieties but I like the ice white in my planter.
They are indeed nearly finished flowering as they don't like the cold weather approaching us. So for me it's time to beat indecisiveness and invest in some winter flowering plants.
I needed to increase my chicken numbers as some of my older ones are getting a bit past laying much.
I was planning on getting about 4 but saw this group of 7 young ones advertised for sale and couldn't resist.
The rooster was an Orpington which is a breed I'm interested in. They are an old English breed which are friendly & good layers even through the cold winter months.
The chicks mothers were half orpington's so we have ended up with some interesting colour combinations. They are still young but should start to lay in a couple of months which will be just before winter.
