Really, really want these for my birthday. Hope the farmer still reads my blog...

Yeah, it's Crocs! Shoot me on sight. Lol.

Today...

... TGIF!
... Had a whopping February.
... We had our "pregnant" Bella dog at the vet for a scan, and guess what. There are NO PUPPIES. She's having a phantom pregnancy. Have you ever! I still need to phone 14 people I have on a waitlist to advise them.

Remember I told you how I am on a diet after packing on the kg's after I quit smoking...?

Enjoy your weekend!

Danger! #farmlife

Can this chicken NOT SEE he is knocking on death's door...?

Lucky for him, the owner of the bowl was snoring on the front porch at the time.

Valentine's Day

I am still in shock after yesterday. Just last week I complimented Reeva on her shoot in People Magazine and she still tweeted back. Now she is gone. Life is short. 

This picture was supposed to be posted yesterday.

Spotted... #farmlife

Here you can't leave anything open... Hopefully the farmer spots the chicken manure before he sits!

Have an awesome weekend!

Today... Yesterday and whenever!

... I think it was about 40 degrees. 

... Our neighbour caught a boom slang with his bare hands!

... the farmer had to manually pull a calf from a cow. Poor bugger was too big. Did not make it.

... There's a circus in town. Went to look at the lions. Not nice.

... We have a new puppy in the house.

... We also have a baby guinea fowl *sigh*
... oja. My brand new Blackberry needs to be replaced. *sigh some more* 

The above all happened in the last week, thank goodness, not just today!

You can see the hooves. Poor calf!

poor white circus lion

Tata!

I survived a Muscovy duck attack!

As in dead serious.

The above madam, had her babies, also featured in the photo, about a month and a half ago. The cuteness. The first month, she stayed clear from the house. But, as time passed, she came closer and taught her babies to eat the discarded dog pellets. So, the other day, I come home from town, and madam and her 12 babies are walking in Boerboel territory, right next to the house. So, being concerned, I walk closer to shoo them away. I won't be able to look if a dog grabs one of them. The babies are small enough, and all of them pop through the fence. Mother obviously can't get through, panics, gives a hiss and turns on me! She flaps her mighty wings, takes flight, and flaps straight at me. I nearly had a heart attack. Start running up the hill towards the house. Still screaming. Mother is hot on my heals. Hissing. Pecking. Hissing. I find a dry branch of a tree. Try to scare her off. It does not help, she is still coming. I run. I scream.

This went on for about 5 minutes, which felt like an hour, until she was satisfied that I was far enough away from her babies.

We have made peace, but trust me, I will not try and help her again.
