Our Garden

Strolling around the Ribbonwood garden last evening I happened to notice that the warm weather had brought the Golden Rain trees out into full bloom. So beautiful and as we didn’t see a trace of yellow last year due to the late spring norwest gales, so unusual. Just goes to show that even with the impending El Niño event this summer – we are in a better position than we were at this time last year.

Our Animals

As far as the livestock are concerned Ruby (the Jersey cow) has been mated again last week – we hope that this time she will get in calf for next years milk supply. She and Dora are enjoying the spring feed supply – i wonder if they actually remember the dry hay they had to eat last summer?
