This one is taken in the apple orchards belonging to the entire community - last autumn we harvested the apples to be pressed into juice and we yielded 40 of 2 liter bottles - yummy
The trees above are peaches from our private orchards - Sabine and Wolfgang have invested already 15 years of labour on their land and created several orchards which yield every summer and autumn many pears, plums, apples, peaches, oranges, bananas, persimons, figs, feijoa's, etcetera..
these are our watchdogs Jessie ( above) and Lily ( below) - Jessie is a good hunter and catches mice and rats - Lily is great in scaring of bigger birds away like hawks or pukeko's.
This is a view of our veggie garden and the Brynderwyn hills - extinct vulcano's - a view that I like the most at our place
Daisy and her little calf Diamond - taken a wee few hours after her birth - unfortunately Daisy died of milk fever quite sudden with no real symptoms for us to detect and so we missed the chance to intervene.
Taken from our porch - end of winter and start of spring also gives us many opportunities to enoy rainbows - I have never seen as many rainbows in one season as in NZ.
a snippet of the communual land - with a view of the creek and the communual pond where we pump out water for our veggie gardens and supplying the cattle beasts. That pond
also harbours a swan family - there are 5 cygnets this time.
the entrance to Samuel's wood workshop and his tractor
Samuel and Wolfgang are cything the grass along side one of ours pond - I think we have two of them
and then our ducks who gives me lot of laughs every morning when I feed them- they are just funny to watch
that's all for now folks - see ye later
