There is always plenty happening at Mt Tiger Llamas.
Spangles has not learned that he is not allowed in the house and I found him eating my hat. He had to be lured out with treats. There has been a lot of orgling activity- so most likely some cria in 11 1/2 months. The hens were very appreciative of the totara branch...
Cut up in tiny pieces, celery is acceptable! I’ve been making more Limoncello and I’ve had to call the last lot Citrus Vodka as I’ve been experimenting with mandarins and oranges as well as lemons and limes. It’s getting mild enough to sit outside in the evening. And...
Usually the llamas love celery but I’ve discovered that if I don’t chop it up finely enough they are not keen and try to eat the plastic container or nibble my dressing gown. In the meantime Spangles is pleased to be back home although he seems to think our bedroom is...
Star Spangled Banner, magnificent suri stud, came home yesterday. Spangles has been on holiday up the road at The George with Kudos and Simon after he was being a nuisance trying to mate birthing llamas. We are ready for another mating now Neptune has gone to Dairy...
Ducks in puddles, wet and muddy dogs and llamas, bored cats and a lot of debris in the gutters have been pretty consistent, in between the gorgeous sunny days. It has meant that everything in the garden is growing like crazy. I am still picking sugar peas every day...
There are a host of pukekos nesting in the bush behind the hen house and I’m always surprised I don’t run over a few on the driveway. This morning Simon got the gun out to scare them off the grass in front of the house as the llamas weren’t there yet. They looked...
It’s finally dried out enough to get the vehicle crossing from the road to the driveway sorted to the satisfaction of council requirements. It’s needed a lot of planning and heaps of gravel. They are making an alternative driveway so we don’t get stranded when the new...
I have always loved Limoncello so when I was given a big bag of lemons - and remembered there was a bottle of vodka somewhere in the garage - I decided to try making some. It was absurdly easy and an incredibly delicious result. I can’t wait ti invent some lemony...
It’s wonderful to be able to pick bunches of freesia from the garden. The hens are laying well, four eggs today. And I’m sitting outside in the sun to have my coffee. Sorrel still thinks it’s a bit chilly. She is very snuggly at night and jumps on my knee at every...
