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.

Well, I have a bias because I’m passionate about marking seasonal change. And so the shot of the flowers gave me a feeling of warmth, and the glow of late autumn. I’d love a wide shot of your choice, from time to time, that speaks of the changes in the vegetation. And of course I love your blog anyway, and find the animals fascinating.

I love the photo of Big Dog dreaming. So peaceful. I enjoy all your photos and never grow tired of the animals. I suppose I have a special delight in ‘big sky’ photos. Or sunsets. I know you’re a morning gal…but sunsets are my favorite time of day, and living in a more compact space it’s difficult for me to see the skyline at home. I just enjoy the seasonal changes around the country and all over the world. We have so much in common, yet experience daily life differently. I somewhat exult in that! D
Poor naughty Ton Ton. Reminds me of our cat Morgan who dragged a corn husk from the kitchen counter to under the dining room table and I caught her with butter all over her silly, sea anemone whiskers. Funny. 🙂
Celi: you know exactly which way to point the camera for us to enjoy the farmy each day! Today loved the perfectly contented look on TonTon’s face on the naughty ‘chair’ and lovely ‘dirty’ Sheila being just where you caught her 🙂 !
The “cooking oil” car doesn’t sound as though it would have the reliability for a trip to the city. It sounds a bit like the tin man:)
Gorgeous piggies! Well, gorgeous everything – and whatever you want to show us is good by me 🙂
The Big Dog and cat pix are today my favorite picks. But I would love to see, as you suggest, some broader shots of the farm, even if they make me homesick for my native prairie. I can only imagine the stunning sunrises and sunsets you experience. When I see the overall shots, I get a real sense of place.
Have a lovely day in the city! All looks very well in your world, Celi.. 🙂
I love your animals and your photos capture their moods and personalities so well! 🙂
That last picture looks as if someone’s peeking in and keeping an eye on you and the farmy
