Some New Faces Around The Farm..

Oi!! Where did the time go??

Wednesday already and I haven't posted on my blog!

Over the past weekend we have acquired some new faces to grace the farm with their presence;

Bought X 1 horse from our next door neighbour... 

His son got bitten by a Black Mamba  (snake) and will never recover full use of the leg he was bitten on again...This came three weeks after he was bitten by a cobra and had a violent reaction to the anti-venom treatment! He walks with a limp and has his leg in a brace most of the time..

Were given X six Chinese geese by same neighbour 'cause they poohed on his porch too much!

They won't pooh on MY porch because I am keeping them in a fenced in area...

Were given X three kittens for our barn...

The brown male Chinese goose,isn't he so handsome?

We have to now find him a brown female,'cause the brown ones apparently don't pair up with white ones..

I have been phoning around the country and might have found him a female in Johannesburg....

I will have to ask Jess and her friends to go and fetch it and bring it home with them over the weekend..she will NOT be pleased about that one!

I already know that the car is going to be too full of baggage and stuff...

He Who Bites...

My butt is still smarting...

There was more than one reason for his previous owner wanting to give away such expensive poultry!!!

I have to say that I just love the sounds they make,it sounds a bit like a swan! Not like normal geese at all!

The cute little kittens.

They will stay in the barn and we have put them in a coop where they can safely get used to the dogs and their new surroundings before we let them out..

This one likes to observe the world in this fashion..

The other one is grey with flecks of ginger thrown in,but she was feeling a little camera shy today..

                                                               The Horse With No Name
                                                      That's right,he has no name,any ideas??
           A four-and-a half year old gelding,who doesn't blink an eye at huge trucks racing past him....

He is said to be a Quarter horse X Boerperd.

He has already started doing lessons in the riding school and is a huge hit with the kids.

I made a lemon semolina cake today

The recipe said to thinly slice one lemon and boil the slices with the sauce...

My lemon slices boiled ..and disintegrated..

Just thought I'd share...

Never mind..
