John's avenue of awanui cherry trees are coming into flower here at Struan Farm. As the trees have matured their spring show has become quite spectacular. The bees and tuis love them too.
At the moment this also happens to be the paddock where a number of ewes with their lambs are hanging out. It's fun to wander and see what's happening in the late afternoon.
I stumbled upon two lambs absolutely zonked out napping in the snow bells. One looked almost dead, so I won't show you those photos, but the other was quite adorable. They have pretty good radar when someone gets too close, I did manage to wake one up, who then woke the other.
And on the walk back up to the house I bumped into one of Rosie's new twin ram lambs, he's quite a cutie. Because she's always coming up to the house for apples her lambs don't seem at all fussed by me.
