His answer: You will know, when calm, you are …..

Now to achive inner calm and peace.

Any tips on short cuts to inner calm and peace most gratefully welcome.

We were looking forward to a great crop of Bowen mangos from our tree this year - it was loaded with a great crop…..but the wild storm yesterday blew most of them off the tree.
Oh well, we will have to make Yum Mamuang (thai green mango salad) instead.
These are the disappointments and joys of urban farming.

This is Agnus.
Agnus is ‘broody’
Agnus is trying to hatch unfertilised duck and chicken eggs as well as a lime 😂
Agnus is VERY cranky that I remove the eggs and limes from under her every day. 🥹
Post script ….. this has been going on every day for a week…. and every day I find she has gathered the other hen eggs and at least 1 lime into her brood…..sometimes 2 limes 🤣😂

We are excited to be hosting the Moorooka Food Growers to our tiny farm on Sunday.
I need to remind myself that a food producing garden is a messy organic ‘thing’ that shouldn’t look like a display in Better Homes and Gardens!!
Perhaps i should sit down and have a coffee instead of worrying about how unprepared it all looks. 🐓😳💜

We made some new garden ‘art’ in the vegetable patch this morning. 😂
We had these mannequin legs for a couple of years, and they sometimes turn up in all sorts of strange places!
This installation will serve as an instruction to the tiny farm workers about what will happen if they fall
asleep on the job……😂🤣😂🤣

I found this cabinet on the side of the road yesterday - we have turned it into a nesting box for the chickens to lay their eggs - “a place to get laid”..!!
I hope the chickens enjoy the joke as much as it amused me 😁😂😂

The new chicken shed is almost finished.

This was a poly water tank that we have recycled into a ‘bali hut’!
It has been insulated; ‘whirly bird’ installed to help with air circulation; covered with bamboo screen and covered with thatch umbrella for a roof 😁. I want to cover the internal insultion with straw cob….. I think - I’m still working that bit out! 😂

The chickens and ducks are enjoying their upgraded home which has now been officially opened as “Feathers Resort”! 💜💚🐓

Higgledy piggledy farm is a little more chaotic than normal. Farmer Ollie has busted, smashed and generally stuffed a finger! She is home recovering.
Popcorn is in my ward, aka my office nursing some injuries - thankfully she is recovering well.
I am taking bets on what you think will be injury number 3.
