TonTon, stop posing. You are supposed to be choosing a winner. Three winners actually to win a package of farmy postcards. Pick a winner TonTon.
TonTon. Each folded comment has a name. Now take a wee paper out of the Pom Pom Hattie and bring it to me. Gimme TonTon. TonTon Gimme
TonTon this has to work you are supposed to be choosing the winners. (sigh) Get my hattie TonTon, Where’s My Hattie!
Gimme TonTon, Gimme. No, the paper. TonTon. Gimme paper. You know what that means, we have been practicing.
oops. 
Oh you brought my Hattie and dropped all the papers. Well. Hmm. Good Boy.
Thank you for my Hattie. Yes, I will put it on. No, we are not going outside now. Now Ton see where I am pointing. Try and act like a clever dog. Gimme Paper. 
Gimme paper. Good Boy
Now gimme. Good boy. Winner Number One is annashortcakes. Fantastic! ! She has fish on her pages today Ton. Did she send you some as a bribe?
Now another one TONTON! Oh he has it already.
No, that is for me…. no chewing on the family! TonTon, gimme. Wait, let me see. Oh this is Spree!! cooking spree you are winner Number TWO! Spree is making Sugar Snap Peas with Shitake Mushrooms for Valentines Day, so I am fairly sure there was no bribery there. That is way too healthy. 
Now Number Three TonTon. Gimme paper. TonTon gimme paper! 
TonTon you are supposed to lay it at my feet like a good dog, not eat it! But I suppose you brought it to my feet before you began to gnaw on the Third winner. Winner Number THREE is bridgesburning. Chris you WON! Though I have to admit that your comment has been a bit chewed but that better than being eschewed I suppose!!
There now. Congratulations to the three winners. Email me with your snail mail addresses and when the postcards come back from the printers I will send you your gorgeous bright packages of Farmy Postcards!
This morning has again dawned clear and cold. Not too bad, we are at 15F (-10C). You will not hear me complain about the cold. I am just so grateful for the mild winter so far. I knew we had to pay for it sometime!! It is winter after all.
I must tell you a funny thing that happened the other day. Quite by mistake after a certain tractor went through a certain gate and a certain tractor driver forgot to close the gate, the gate to the wee meadow that houses Queenie and Hairy was left open for the whole night. I only noticed it when I looked out the kitchen window the next morning preparing to go out to feed. As I raced to the barn I saw evidence of them wandering about the garden together, gazing down the lane, walking through the empty field and then returning themselves to their pen and obediently standing at their feeder waiting for their hay as I rushed in that morning. Saying very loudly to me, in a sanctimonious tone” We were good. We went nowhere. We never ever would go through an open gate, because that would be bad!! We are a good Flerd. Where’s breakfast!”
Good morning and congrats to you all for joining the fun!

ps. A Flerd is a cross between a flock and a herd.
pss. If I point and say Gimme, TonTon will pick up the first thing he sees and give it to me. I trained him to find paper by name all week in preparation for the draw with varying results. Before we go outside I say Gimme Hattie and he goes and finds my PomPom Hattie and brings it to me. Then I send him for gloves and usually he will bring a pair one after the other. But straight gimme is whatever I am pointing to and it is not a game. It is a very useful command when my hands are full. I can say Gimme, he will pick it up. Then Bring it and he will carry it and walk with me. Of course all this is so that he can do the housework and I just walk about the house pointing!!
psss. I have a growing list of people who would like to buy postcards, so if you want your name pencilled in let me know in the comments anytime. Readers will get Mates Rates. I have also been asked if a few of the images can be sold as prints. I can certainly discuss that, so send me a message.

And oh we FINALLY got to see the infamous pom-pom hattie.
My day is complete 🙂
Yes the PomPom Hattie is certainly something to see. It used to have a PomPom on top too but Daisy would not leave it alone so I had to cut it off.. John has made me swear not to wear it off the property but it is so warm!! morning Claire! c
Laugh’s at the thought of you wearing your pommie in town 🙂
That Ton Ton is one smart poochie!!! And he’s absolutely adorable! As are you!!!
