Taking stock on a lovely summer day. Kupa was inadvertantly locked in the chook house and after spending the whole day in with the peasants he had to have a wee lie down.
Then he went to have a stretch and adding insult to injury his display attracted the wrong attention, I fear that Kupa was in for a rude surprise!
I think that in yesterday’s post I may have confused some of you with my wording. TonTon is the farmy dog but when we visit with the Old Codger he becomes Dale’s dog. In fact he will often lean on Dale, looking back at me, quite clearly saying – See, Dale loves me MORE. Naturally the Old Codger encourages this.
I have shifted the sheep into the Rat House Paddock because it is going to get very hot this week. We have a forecast of 102 on Thursday. They are allowed in the root cellar when it is hot. But Mama is not impressed with the feed in here…
and is making her disapproval known to all.
Probably not the photo we should use when we advertise Charlotte as for sale. 
I am afraid this little piggie looks a sandwich short of a picnic.
Daisy and her flerd are comfortable under their trees. 
This rooster has seen better days. 
Yesterday was not one of them.
Good morning everyone. I left the comments section alone yesterday so that Dale could read them all without interruption from me. He loved your comments. You are all brilliant. Thank you. What a wonderful welcome home for him, so much generosity from the farmy blog family. Haven’t you and I gathered a fantastic team. Everyone is alone in different ways and I find it almost ironic that our computers with their little screens and funny whirring noises are also the means of assuaging this loneliness.
I just wish I had a fast enough connection so I could visit you all and thank you personally. 
The hay is raked. Today is going to be very hot and very windy. No good for anything other than drying hay. Tomorrow afternoon will be in the 100’s and way too hot to be baling after a full days work and then thunderstorms threaten on Friday. So this afternoon, after John comes home from work, we will be baling hay and stacking it in the barn. I hope it is dry enough, we will see. The Tall Teenager has gone to visit his mother, and our neighbours are still away, so we will be bringing in the hay by ourselves.
I wonder what to have for dinner in amongst all that! There will not be a lot of time for the kitchen today. The Old Codger and I will be cooking ribs at his place this morning. He loves them but does not know how to prepare them. So we are having a cooking lesson.
You all have a lovely day. Promise.

Oh! is a shame I wasn’t around yesterday… I hope you have a wonderful day 🙂
Charlotte looks like she is enjoying her life!
Great photos as always! P.S. My dogs love me more than um, you know….
Is there a way we can spread “the farmy word”, I wonder… Much as you weave your magic in the aged persons’ facility, I wish you could take it to the world. Warring nations could see how everyone lives together no matter breed or creed. Kids could learn about the real world. People who don’t appreciate food could see what real food is and what to do with it. We could all do with the reminder you give us about good community… Nobel Peace Prize maybe?
You can teach everyone to cook, then take turns preparing dinner. 🙂 I think that’s an adorable picture of Charlotte! I’d take her in a minute if she wasn’t a pig. Poor Kupa, hanging with the peasants. Too funny. Hope you were able to get the hay put up.
I’ve tried commenting but my comment keeps getting rejected. Will have to hold back and try again tomorrow.
Might take Kupa a long time to get over hanging with the peasants!
I love coming to your farmy to see all the animals and what they are up to every day – and to see what you are up to as well! 😉
I want you to know how much we appreciate you taking the time to write about it all, for we know how busy you are. You are a little gem.
Just catching up. How could you part with that funny pig?
Laughed when you said TonTon hangs out with Dale and obviously says “See Dale loves me more.” Dogs are just so like that. (and he knows it means a lot to Dale)
It’s hot here, too – may be the summer of all creatures learning to take naps to stay cool.
Enjoyed the visit
The pig has “personality” and Daisy look all grown up now.
Even though I am late, it’s great to see everybody on the farmy.

I’m so enthralled by your peacock pictures!
One of my fav movies is Babe In The City. I am shameless with attaching human qualities to animals. And why not! Many are far more amusing than many humans. “That will do pig” definitely applies to this wonderful blog . Virginia
I just love your posts and especially your pics of the animals on your farm!!
We just bought ribs today to make for the 4th of July. Coincidence and taking advantage of a big sale.
