Baby swallows and bees.

The past couple of days I have noticed lots of little baby swallows poking the beaks out of their nest, high up in the farm buildings.  This time last year, my grandma would be telling me all about them, be telling me were to look and to tell him what I had found. He told me lots of funny stories, and now that they are back I feel so sad that I can not go back to him and tell him. He's be so excited to hear all about them. I am however, very great full I got the time with him last year to learn about the wildlife down the farm. Other wise I'd probably not really known or paid much attention this year. It's funny how things work out really. I do miss him. But I hope I'll continue to follow in his foot steps and keep his memories alive by watching the wildlife. 

A Rainbow // FARM

spent the evening down the farm mending some fencing. It was such a lovely evening, i even saw a pretty rainbow. Think ruby and the Sheeps enjoyed it too. 

Baby chickens

ONE WEEK OLD // CHICKENS

After a horrible wet and rainy day yesterday it was nice to see a bit of sunshine today. This morning was lovely- felt the nice autumn winter feel in the air. No wind, not to cold and but crisp autumn atmosphere with yellow leaves everywhere. It's starting to look rather pretty down the farm today but I'm not so keen on the fact that winter is on its way. :(

Still no sign on the third chick- ill just have to accept it is gone. Just can't think what would have happened to it though and why? Never mind, I guess it's all nature and a part of life.

Missing chick

Am totally gutted to find the the little Blake baby chicks which hatched Saturday is gone :( totally utterly vanished and gone ;( I knew I should have taken it out but I just don't know much about chickens yet. I think I've got a long way to go too.

Baby number 3 // chicks

I am so excited to announce that there is another baby chick this morning. Funny as last night, my dad was saying we wouldn't get any more eggs hatching. This morning i went in to feed the chickens to find another cracked egg- bit baffled as I couldn't see anything to start with and thought the chickens had been eating the eggs- then to my surprise I found another little black baby chick :) so exciting.
Had great fun watching it fall over and try to love around with it's siblings. I think it's needed another day before it will be able to run with the other two.
