Now that we've doubled our flock of geese from 2 to 4, we thought we should upgrade the Day Spa facilities in their enclosure!
We now have 2 boys and 2 girls.
They do love to have a good wash and it usually leads to a bit of ๐ฆขโค๐ฆข in the bath!
Geese naturally mate in water, so we needed to provide adequate space instead of having them line up in the old kids 'clamshell' bath for their daily... errr... 'wash.' ๐
By the looks of this, I think they are happy with the new arrangements... we just added some rocks to help them get in and out.

We've been waiting (im)patiently for the lambs to arrive...and here they are!๐๐
So blessed to witness this little cutie just minutes after mum has given birth. She tenderly cleans up the little one, as strong instincts are at work urging the lamb to get up and suckle. The legs are wobbly, but the bond is stronger!
This is nature at its finest... and one of the reasons we just love living on the farm.๐
Can't wait for spring time, when there will be lots of lambs frolicking in the pastures...๐
And this little one just happens to share it's birthday with our amazing grandson Jake, who is 11 today! Double celebrations!๐ฅณ
Happy birthday Jake!๐

A winter staple in our household is a Thai twist on a classic favourite โ pumpkin soup.๐ฒ
This paleo friendly Thai Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Soup is bursting with flavours of the Orient. ๐ถ A perfect winter warmer when the rainy weather keeps you indoors.โ๏ธ
This soup is ideal to batch up into individual containers for ready-made delicious lunches for the working week ahead.๐
The recipe is the brainchild of Irena Macri, a qualified nutrition coach, whose website is packed full of healthy and delicious recipes such as this oneโฆ

2-cm turmeric root piece (or 1 tsp turmeric powder)
4 kaffir lime leaves, optional
2 tsp coconut oil
4 cups peeled and cubed pumpkin (sweet kind like Kent/Jap is best)

"I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!"
-Dorothea Mackellar

Little did Bill know when he was taught this famous poem in school long ago, that it would resonate so deeply with him today...

With Australia Day coming up, we can truly be thankful to be the caretakers our little slice of this 'Sunburnt Country.'
