James' girls are laying up a storm I have 3 dozen eggs to use up. Here are some of them enjoying a scratch around with the weeds I dumped in their coop. It's only taken Brent 2 months to tame Geraldine he can now pat her. She is also running at a waddle to me when I call her for lettuce leaves out of my garden. She is rather sweet & isn't at all nasty like Brent's first gander. She's a bit naughty tho & pulls the plug on her bath so Brent has out witted her by putting a big rock on the plug. Geese don't need ponds (there are one next door) they just need something to dunk their head into - we have a bath for her with a ramp & she enjoys splashing around in it - especially fond of being in it as Brent fills it & having a shower from hose.
A warm welcome to our families daily
blog. "Living The Good Life"
We are a family of four & I’m the
luckiest girl I know! Married to my best friend for over 21 years, raising two
wonderful children on our 3 acre farmlet in New Zealand.
I was a Bank Manager in previous life
(before kids) and now a kept women - home schooling our two kids. Brent
is a Service Projects Manager and brings home the bacon for the family.
We got
"off the bus" ie away from continual comsumption & accumulation of
material goods & find much joy in living a simple life.
I enjoy writing & sharing views on
living a simple life, menu planning, living on one income in a two income world,
home schooling, dyslexia, severe food allergies, raising coloured sheep, goats
& hens, quilting, reading, cooking, gardening and of course cats.
"It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”

The
best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes,
certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
