Tree pruning

The girls have been doing a bit of tree pruning today. I went to check on everyone and give Heidi her bottle at lunchtime and found Ursula climbing the fence to get at a tree! We have a few girls that love pruning, mainly Ursula, Geena and Imala.

I thought I would offer a little assistance as, A, I didn't want Ursula to slip and hurt herself, and B, break the fence. I bent the tree down slightly and then got mobbed, or rather the tree did. Princess Mallika took a real fancy to it and was pushing her way to the front.

I have noticed an increase in the hay consumption over the last few days which is a sure sign that autumn is approaching. I can't believe it is October next week and we already have two girls in the second trimester of their pregnancies.

Not a lot else to report, I've been busy knitting again and have almost finished my first ever lacy pattern; I usually get mum doing the garments with holes as I never plucked up the courage to try them. So far I'm really pleased with my scarf, I will get a photo of it and put it in the shop in the next few days so you can let me know what you think.
