I was thinking, as I was working in the barn yesterday on the Winter Quarters, Bills Camera snuggled safely in the White Box where Things Live, at hand for that shot, that you follow wherever I am on each day. You cannot wander off and look at stuff that interests you. 
So if I am focused on lambs or cows or the barn and pigs that is what you see that day. I know this seems like the logical conclusion. But wheras I see the whole farm all the time and look into everyones eyes every day, you my darling readers only share the focus of the day. I need to try for more wide shots. Maybe there is a long shot I can take every day that would show you the daily changes. The slow seasonal changes. One you can just glance at. Is there a shot from the verandah that you would like every day? Well, think about it and let me know. There must be an angle that would work. We need to choose a spot that I can get to in all weathers though. 
TonTon had to sit on the naughty chair because he would not stop herding the guineas to me yesterday. The Bobby was thrilled.
Sheila is a filthy piggie. 
But enjoying snuggling in her clean fluffy straw.
Charlotte has a double chin but don’t tell her I said so. I had them in the barn while we were working, they were very helpful, lifting and pushing stuff about for us, running off with hammers, carrying our clothing as we discarded it in the warm afternoon, spreading out their bedding, and leaning, lots of leaning on miss c. 
While we were restacking straw the Bobby Blanc decided to climb the bales and attempt a break out. I think he is getting better. 
The Big Dog has gone to that Quiet Place in his head. 
Thing One reminded us that firewood is not only for burning. It is also good for a cat manicure. No sign of Thing Two or Mary’s Cat. But there are rumours of a nest of kittens in another barn looking for a home. We will see though. 
Good morning.. Today we pour ourselves back into the cooking oil car and drive up to the city. So I need to roll through the morning chores at speed. Off I go!
You all have a lovely day.

What i was writing about a year ago. OK this is a really funny story. That one about the fire alarm and the rubbish collectors. A great laugh for the weekend.

So funny you should mention a daily long shot…I’ve been playing around with the idea of a 4pm daily photo off the back porch (West-facing) to show the changing light and foliage. Great minds, eh?
Love the pic of Big Dog…Sweet Cleo gets that look, too. Not unlike some older humans I know 😉
I think i would like to see your daily shot, it would also extend the extreme tedium of winter but in a stoic kind of way. c
It might…
The link for the tomato jam recipe is in yesterday’s post, just in case you have the time and tomatoes!
oh well done and thank you. i do still have some.. c
You know this former magazine editor loves her an establishing shot!!!! But I think it’s all right for us to see the world through your eyes and with your day’s focus. After all, I spend all day seeing the world my way; why not relax and see it someone else’s way? Have a happy day.
Morning natalia, your mention of the establishing shot in a previous comment has been running through my head and may well have led me to this idea. It would be like a link that we glance at as we read .. c
I definitely see that; and of course we are all hungry for more views and perspectives of The Farmy!
I was thinking lately that I spend far too much time reading blogs. But, Miss C, it is never a waste of time reading YOUR BLOG. It has become part of my morning ritual. Thanks so much for enriching life in Morristown.
Oh my God, what beautiful, beautiful photographs. It feels peaceful today. The light has changed…pensive.
I find you posts very comforting.
I am happy Bobby Blanc is healing. Safe travels.
A shot from your front porch as you enter the day..??
Morning C…have a great weekend!
Whatever you and your camera lens want to give us is OK by me: I get a thrill every time your email notification pops into my box every day just after lunch. That cat/log picture is sublime.
I’m more than happy to be taken along for whatever ride you choose for the day.
Love that picture of TonTon and Bobby. I like that we see the day from your perspective but it would also be wonderful to get a vista from time to time!
I love every days’ adventure just as it comes …. the Barn and the critters being my favourite. Hope Eldest Son has a safe trip back to his home. Laura
Lovely shots, Miss Cecilia. It is interesting that you call her Bills Camera. I have always thought she was a girl. Of course, my D300 is a big, stubborn male. Not certain the gender of the new camera. I will take it out today and find out. (Female cameras like to take shots of things that live, and love; males seem to focus on wide shots of buildings and empty spaces.
Now, I know people will suggest it is we photographers who decide what to shoot, but you and I both know that is not the case. A stubborn lot, are cameras – especially Nikons.
Your first photo of the flowers reminds everyone it is autumn. What is the white blooming plant that doesn’t seen to have been effected by your hard frost?
Lovely photos today! The last one with the sun streaming through the clouds was a nice catch. I would love to see the wood stove you cook on in the winter. I’ll be patient for winter though, so I can see something baking in progress. 🙂
“Sheila is a filthy piggie.” Yes, and Charlotte is so very prim and proper, clean as the driven snow. 🙂
You are right, though. You do carry us with you so long as you have a camera in hand. I really don’t thank you enough for doing so. After all, it’s not as if you’re just standing around playing with a camera. You’ve work to do. Make that plenty of work to do. And yet you manage to take the time to photograph, organize, and post the photos daily. So, Celi, thanks for taking the time to take us along. 🙂
Such a beautiful morning! I hope you get some time to enjoy it.
