Well she's windy and cold tonight a few trees down so out with the chainsaw in the morning. I would say this cold snap will be the end of the mushrooms. We have mostly been getting horse mushrooms as big as dinner plates just fantastic eating.
Our Feijoas have started falling and the corn is ready so that will make a change.
Its been a week of visitors, my sister her husband and Carla and Joanna came down for Easter, picked up my mother and spent the day out at the farm collecting chestnuts. Good to see them.
Wally called out with some poultry for us to have a look at. Wally is into the rarer breeds like us and we often compare our breeding stock.
Jamie, Cheryl and their daughter with the name i cant spell came out to tea. Ila cooked a roast muscovy duck and a great mix of veg from the farm. It was a good night.
Jamie came early and welded up our old farm trailer so we can keep carting posts as i had snapped it in half.
Tonight Ila has all her friends (6 teenage girls) staying in the woolshed for a sleepover. She has spent the last two days waterblasting it clean. They seem happy at this stage, But its going to be cccc...cold, oh well you are only young once.
Ruth has cleared all the blackberry and barberry around the loading ramp while i have been inside doing the bookwork for the pig course next Saturday and make a start on the GST.
Beate has been picking tree strawberries, picking up feijoas and apples and mixing them with the pig food. The pigs look well and fit, so fit that they all got out today. We only found out after Beate had got them back.
See ya Sunday John
