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.

That pig is craaaaazy! 😉
Your blog is so refreshing!
Charlotte can come and live with me if she wants! So glad Dale enjoyed your post and the comments yesterday 🙂
I wish you were down the road so i could do just that, she would be very happy sleeping under your lemon tree! c
Oh poor Charlotte…….not looking a picture of piggy sartorial elegance is she.
yes, pigs and elegance do not go hand in hand!! c
Did you speak to Ton in the last photo yesterday…..when he’s looking directly at the camera? It captured him beautifully.
I said, See Dale. Which means Find Dale and he was like what? I found him already!! c
Please could you send some of that love summer weather our way, we could do with lots more heat and sunshine! :))
All looking good on the farmy 🙂 Freezing and very dry here. Enjoy your day. Laura
A sense of peace prevails now that everyone is back home where they should be. Particularly Dale and Kupa!
I think it’s marvelous that you’re teaching Dale to cook his favourite meal. There’s nothing like a bit of “enabling” to make a person happy. I think I’ll “enable” myself into the kitchen, and make myself happy eatin some of the bread that just came out of the oven. Good morning to all, and peaceful wishes on the farmy.
Oh fresh bread.. yum, which reminds me I had better start some loaves myself! c
Now, you can laugh at me. I thought you made up that word, “flerd,” so I looked it up. And, surprise, it is an actual word. I was about to applaud you for your language genius. Instead, I will applaud you for once again presenting us with another entertaining post, even if some of the Farmy animals seemed to have an “off” day yesterday.
Enjoy your cooking lesson with Dale. I hope you will share your rib-making tips with your bloggy friends. Hint. Hint.
Oh no.. here is where you get to laugh BACK at me! I thought I had made it up!! (laughter.. kind of) I am not as clever as i thought! c
Enjoy the cooking lesson! Looks like you are having a lovely day there indeed.
Lovely farmy walk, C. Good luck with the hay.
Eggs. Eggs are always good for dinner. And fast…
yes, good thinking maybe an omelette! c
Loving seeing how everyone is on the farmy, Mama and her ears are captivating, always at an angle, kind of expectatnt, expecting what I don’t know, but they are up to something!
She does have the most amazing ears that sheep.. morning claire.. c
Maybe Charlotte is looking that way deliberately so that no-one will WANT to buy her! Yup, full complement of sandwiches there I think! As for Mama, that poor wee face – and I’ll bet the look on Kupa’s face was something to behold when that pig reached her target!!!

I laughed out loud as he closed his fan with a snap and scarpered!
Having Kupa in the hen house with the Roo had to be rather upsetting!
Have a great day, Ceciliag!
