Yay, the chooks have started laying.

Great eggcitement this weekend!!!!

The girls have laid!

Yes, our lovely Isa browns have earnt their keep and produced their first eggs.

their first eggs are a bit smaller than usual but not as small as the silkie egg on top.

They are also a pretty speckled colour at the moment.

All those scraps, the loving comments and garden rambles have paid off at last.

It really is a great system.

We give them our scraps and a bit of chook grain, in return they produce lots of lovely chook manurey hay and gorgeous eggs.

Collages for the love of spring.

I have read all the blogging do's and don't s that say you should not really post more than 5 pictures per post. 

So I thought long and hard and decided that if I made collages then that rule might not apply.

Rules Shmules, 

I think these pink blossoms want to be seen.

And I couldn't possibly have cut down on my shots of the girls having a scratch around in the garden

Or these moody blooms.

And, spring is about colour.

And softness and the promise of fresh new life.

So that is what is happening in the garden today,

and in only 60 six photos.

Stay tuned for Monday's giveaway from Mr M's 

Moerkey Etsy shop.

Our chooks have started arriving.

Yay, happy days, our chooks have started arriving.

The first two have settled in.

Our two little silkies. Yet to be named.

This greyish white one is a bit feisty.

She squawks and clucks and protests when she is picked up.

The little gingery brown one is very friendly.

She loves a cuddle.

This is fortunate, because they have been on the receiving end of hourly cuddles and pats.

It's been 40 degrees over the weekend so lots of checking was a good idea.

Welcome girls.
