I will also show you something in here that you might not know.
A part of the big trees has been cut down, and you can see the stumps next to the road. We actually came here to have a look if the Century plant's flowers were blooming, but no such luck as the strong sun has wilted the flowers already, so we were too late to see them and now the plant is busy dying. But there was much more to show you from the entrance to the farm.
As you will see below.
Tons of wood chips from the big trees that were cut down, were banked next to the road, and I caught a swallow looking for bugs.
But this is what I want to show you.
Now why do you think this haystack has water sprayers on it?
We have had some very hot days here, and to prevent the hay from combusting, or flaking in the heat the sprayers are necessary. An ideal moisture for the stack should be between 10-20%.
A tractor was working the land around the haystack.
And whenever a tractor works in a land there would be predator birds high above to collect scurrying rodents.
There were two Kites up above keeping an eye out for a luck.
We had a 6am-8am power cut and we arrived at this farm very early this morning. So, we had the whole place to ourselves, as the visitors will only start arriving after we were gone.
Of course, I have some other photos to show you in another post later on.
They say that the early bird will catch the worm, meaning that if you are the first at something you will stand the best chance of scoring. It is also meant for early risers. Well, we were here early, and we certainly caught some worms, be it birds with worms, goats eating beans, bunnies also eating beans, and some other sights.
There are many ways that one can spend the dark hours without power, but this is the way in nature that works the best for us. Our recent new Covid experience was not very pleasant, and in fact it was a bit unnerving, as we did not have any Covid the first time around. Fortunately, it did not last long and we have both recuperated after a short period. These are the unexpected things in life that can derail everything that a person works for. So, we find our solace in nature, and we simply carry on.
I hope you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.
