New arrival on the farm

Earlier this week a horsebox arrived and off loaded this beautiful horse. I 'm sure the resident [white] horse is thrilled to have company ! 

 The groom stopped for me to get a good photo ! 

  Off to the paddock ahead with the young [intermediate] calves  

 During the week, I noticed that spring is almost upon is. The Wild Iris (dietes grandiflora) was flowering prolifically in Colette's garden below her shop rail  

 In the garden below my part of the veranda rail, the arum lily (zantedeschia aethiopica) has just popped out
 In the same garden, my baby spinach are thriving. I have rocket growing here as well, but I had just cut leaves off for my lunch salad so it wasn't looking very photogenic! 
On the veranda outside Colette's shop, her white geranium (pelargonium spp) if which she is immensely proud,  is blooming 

I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here 

HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!
