Animals I used to have in my small farm

This picture was taken a few hours after her birth 

I had to make sure she could drink her mother’s milk properly  

Make an antibiotic injection to both of them ....

 Today, some pictures from the farm animals I had when my children were young. They liked so much to look after them I think it’s part of children’s education.

My daughter has given me a lemon tree last year for my Birthday

It has spent the summer outside and in December I had 19 lemons, but I had to take it inside in a cool room  and not to give it too much water! I have been struggling for it to survive and last week I noticed it had flowers!

As soon as it is hot enough I will put it outside again.

This year, my daughter asked me what did I want for my Birthday in April ( well if the lockdown allows us) I would like some fruit trees to make an orchard in the field behind the house.

Before we had apple trees and I loved their Spring flowers so beautiful , but they were too old and we did not renew them

Because we had goats and donkeys and too much apple would not have been good for them.

We also had a peach tree and a vegetable garden.

So this year my present will be trees certainly after the lockdown

As we have a new one for four weeks beginning tomorrow.

My daughter and her husband will plant them for me.

I am very happy with this idea of planting new trees.

And at the very end of the field I have three oak trees to plant.

The two were Alpine goats big ones.

This one was the smallest one

They are very tiny legs, so cute!

In fact the small ones came through my fence from my neighbour who did not look after them and finally I bought them to stay with us. The first one with his mother was born in the snow and I rescued him finally this one my neighbour gave it to me.

I only have a dog now, but I use to have cats and rabbit too.

I hope we can plant our orchard soon!

I wish you a good day.
