Surprise, surprise

Last Sunday was an early morning for me. The farm stay guests had a bus to catch and there was a deadline to meet. They were travelling on to catch a ferry to Moreton Island. Driving in the early morning mist was beautiful.  The mist covered the countryside like a thick blanket. The tips of the trees just breaking through the cover. Exhausted but content, I arrived back home to a cosy house, everybody was either rising or outside doing something. Michaela was cleaning Caramel’s cage and all of a sudden I heard shrieks of delight coming from her.   Two babies were born overnight. One caramel colour just like Mum and one white and grey. They appear to be females to my untrained eye but will have to make sure as Guinea Pigs multiply rather fast and I do not want any further unplanned pregnancies. We had no idea she was already pregnant when we bought her from the supply store.  For now I guess we will be thinking up names for the two littlest additions to Pine Haven. What a surprise to come home too.
