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.

Celi, I would love to see photos that show the changing seasons on the farm. All the shots today are so good! The last one, of the sun breaking through the clouds, is magical. I love the changing seasons, period, and if I had a “vista,” I would surely photograph it.
What happy pigs – I’m sure they have something to do with that new stall in Smithfield 😉
Just as most all of the other readers have said…we are happy to go wherever you take us….although I’m sure they might all agree…we would love to see more shots of Miss C. doing what she does and loves everyday around the farmy…even from a distance and then we could tell easily by the change in her clothing what season it is!! 🙂 Short skirt…long skirt!! 🙂
All the photos and stories are lovely and we all look forward to them…..everyday!!
Aw! Look at that face! Still looks like TonTon was having fun in his naughty chair.
Don’t be daft! We all visit your blog because the things which you do and see interest us too in some shape or form; the animals, the skies, the weather, the cooking, growing things and of course the stories! Things are perfect just the way they are!

I was reading your blog this morning and thinking words like – comfortable, comforting, companionship. They’re in your comments too. I also read back to the beginning. You are under my skin Celi. Have a hugely excellent week-end. Virginia
Thank you for the wide shots. What a lovely world.
I love all your photos – the flowers are amazing! Wow…
I love the picture in my head of piggies leaning on you. I’m happy to look at whatever pictures you decide to post. 🙂
Darling Celi, it’s your life we’re peering into, savouring and enjoying. So whatever you see and do is our little treat. And lovely pics today, flowers, sky, piggies, doggies, cats and calves… thank you as ever for the joy of it all.
Love the pics but especially the last one with that ray of sun coming through the gloom. We’re finally done – well Michael is bringing the last pick-up load this evening – and it’s time to get in high gear for winter preps. Have a great Sunday, Celi! There’ s post up when you have time to pop over!
Ton looks stressed in that photo. Is he okay?
Good morning, c, and a happy weekend to you and the farmy. 🙂
I love the images of the pig. She looks so happy with all that fresh straw. Isn’t she fortunate to have a happy life where she’s free to do what pigs do best and not suffer in one of those intensive piggeries which should be banned xx
Lovely to catch up, and a vote from me for a single shot. fab shot of big dog, I think I have a soft spot for him. But I must be a bit behind as I hadn’t heard about Thing2 ….
What about a wide shot looking out your front door?
