I love this time of year…everything is green and new and the darkness and hibernation of winter is a distant memory.
Our beautiful beech trees spring into life
and there are breathtaking colours everywhere you look
Even the most ordinary of herbs burst with colour
and daily I’m gifted bouquets of wild flowers that Interflora could never rival.
There are birds nesting, hatchlings attempting to fledge and new life all around. We welcomed some new chicks
and some gorgeous ducklings
and we are currently ‘homing’ these beautiful fantail doves
The most exciting thing about this time year is it marks the start of Cria Season.
Some very sunny days last week meant that Fenella took advantage and delivered her beautiful cria 3 weeks early. He has been named Aristotle and is an absolute dote
A few days later our second cria was born
After a quick check he was called Apollo…however a more detailed check later revealed that he was infact a she so Apollo has become Apollita!!
With many new arrivals due in the coming weeks excitement levels are understandably high.
Stay tuned for updates on more arrivals on the farm❤
Why oh why do animal and human babies have to grow up. You live in a riot of cuteness!
Thanks Gwen…..the baby stage of both is definitely a heart stealer!!
Every time I visit your blog I want to be transported to Hushabye Farm! Welcome to the world Apollita and Aristotle 🙂
Thank you and remember we are always happy to spread the Alpaca Love so visit anytime.
Next time we go to Kildare, I'm calling in!! Cuteness overload!!
Really hope you do😊, you must promise to bring that bundle if gorgeousness Anna with you tho' xx
