Some Farm Animals

Today like the rest of this week has been super hot and humid with (if we are lucky) storms in the evening which makes sleeping easier. We don't get much garden work done between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm as it is so hot and uncomfortable. Summer has well and truly started here long before its official start date. We are making sure our chooks have plenty of water and we let them out after they have layed to forage. We notice this makes their eggs bigger and better.

Here are some of our chooks doing a great job of helping me weed and mulch the garden :)


This is Alan's new horse Max (a Standardbred) watching the chooks.....


A nice photo of Max who is looking good.


And here is Lewis the cat watching everyone LOL................

Tonight will be cold chicken and salad for dinner and we will have a glass or 2 of cold white wine on the terrace beforehand. We like to sit and watch the horses as the sun drops down. Thank goodness we don't have Summer time here in Queensland. With this heat we so look forward to sunset. We get up early anyway (this morning I was up before 5.00 am) as it is the best time to get the work done and exercise.

The photos are so idyllic, Helen, they made me long for the farm ... ... and then I remembered how much work it was!! Thanks for sharing your life with us. (I hope you didn't tell the chooks you were having cold chicken for dinner).

Life on the farm sounds idyllic, even with the heat to contend with. Max is a nice looking horse and I know nothing about horses :)

Does Lewis miss Bella? They seemed to like being together.
