Morning stroll

Well, I say stroll, but it's more like morning routine of feeding chickens and ducks, only this morning I took my camera along for the ride ( Note to self ~ not a great idea as it now seems to have rather a lot of mud on it)
I must have looked a fetching sight in my jammies, huge sweatshirt over the top, pj bottoms tucked into Lloyd's huge wellingtons, camera stuffed under one arm and a couple of eggs under the other.

I know there are blossom pics all over the place just now, but this one is a bit special. It's Wee Pixie's tree and it was planted just as we had the biggest drought Northland's ever seen. We did water it, but I was worried it may not do that great. So it was so lovely to see blossom on it this morning.

Then I went to feed the chooks, they love kibbled corn as a treat.


and to repay me for feeding them so well there were 2 eggs already.

A wee wander over to the orchard to see all the plum blossom



And finally something for Ms Lottie
the elder cuttings I stuck in the earth for you seem to be taking! They all have flowers and wee leaves!  whoo hoo!

    Lovely photos of your morning Laura.
    I am often similarly clad on the morning walk! Not often with a camera as well though. Your girls look very happy and healthy - don't they just love corn!!

  2. Hmmm, my plum blossom is pink! It's a decorative plum, quite edible but with large stones in small fruit. Lots of little dark red leaves peeking through now, too. I love spring and all the flowers, my daffodils are out and the tulips are looking hopeful :-)
    Lucky you, having an orchard-full of blossom to walk through.
