Honeybee and Loveheart are in the bath. Myrtle is standing at the back and Daisy is standing on the right. It’s a funny little family. The duck dynamics have changed dramatically since Myrtle came to live here, it’s all for the better. For now I’ll leave you with these photos taken yesterday and circle back […]

  While I might not post on social media everyday, I still take a  photo everyday and this Series is very important to me. It is lovely to hear how many people are enjoying it too. Day 14. Monday. 14th July 2025. Snow Clogs, planted in the garden for Michael, they remind him of his […]

Day 13. Sunday. 13th July 2025. Making Berry Jam. Blackberries, blueberries and raspberries all tumbled into the big saucepan to make a quick jam while cleaning out the freezers. It was one of those lovely productive days and in the middle of it all we sat down for a home cooked family Sunday lunch. You […]

Day 12. Saturday. 12th July 2025. This is Fennel. Tomorrow he embarks on a new adventure and is going to live with a lovely family in the Huon Valley. So today we spent some time together. I thanked Fennel for being such a sweetie, it’s been a pleasure to have him in our care. I […]

Day 11. Friday. 11th July 2025. An inside kind of day. Wind, rain and muddy underfoot. After lunch and in between rain showers we feed the little hens extra grain since they aren’t foraging outside – we don’t want them getting wet and catching a chill. Our reward is cups of tea in front of […]

Day 9. Wednesday. 9th July 2025. Dusk. Like tiny fairy lights, this sweet blossom. I’ve written about this darling tree out our lounge room window. You can read about it here. ~ A Moment in the Day Series. This will be my third year. Midwinter and I’m craving the everyday beauty that isn’t in your […]

Day 8. Tuesday 8th July 2025. Mexican Hawthorn. These mustard yellow coloured fruit almost glow on a cold Winter’s day. As I walk up to the Back Orchard the squish of the fruit underfoot reminds me to watch where I am walking instead of looking out to the sky and what is beyond the garden […]

Day 7. Monday. 7th July 2025. Feeding the hens and Honeybee some left over bread roll from lunchtime. Miss Polish (aka. Zinnia the Polish hen) was hatched in an incubator and raised by Lil. When I sit on the garden bench she more than likely comes and sits underneath the bench and pokes her head […]
