.. Who could NOT love faces like that. 
Yesterday we had another lovely sunny day on the farmy. By afternoon everything had thawed out enough for me to scoop the poop put of the cows loafing pen and fill all the water barrels with the hose. 
The Shush Sisters went for a walk with me and ran around checking on everyone. They were puffing like blown horses once they finally got back to their own field.
Just gentle quiet in the Daily View.
And just average in the temperatures. But if it warms up in the afternoon I can take the averagely terribly cold mornings.
Good morning. Thank you all so much for the outpouring of good advice about my poor miserable cracked finger tips. So from now on I shall put a good moisturiser IN the glove basket and then I will remember to moisturise before I go out during the day. As I am in and out frequently this should make all the difference. And I will find a good moisturiser. Thank you for your suggestions. PLUS I shall make a jar of beeswax salve when I have finished the writing.
The other suggestion is to moisturise and wear little gloves to bed as an intensive treatment, so I shall go about finding a pair of thin gloves for that. Won’t John be surprised! I told him if the bedroom gets much colder I will be going to bed in my hattie, just imagine if I go to bed in my hattie and gloves!
Ah well. At least they have stopped bleeding. I typed my chapter very slowly yesterday. Today I am on the last chapter which is a doozy so I will have to tell my brain to slow down so my fingers can keep up.
You all have a lovely day.

Those piggy girls are gorgeous! so glad your fingers are beginning to respond and the pace of the writing is easing off. Here in the winter I sometimes wear a possom-wool beannie to bed at night, and together with bed socks on my feet I am perfectly cosy.
Oh those adorable faces – I miss my pigs!
I so envy you your pig and I so miss my late lamented potbelly! I’ve been seriously considering getting a Kune Kune pig (a New Zealand native!) as they’re smaller, docile and good grazers and don’t seem to root but it would have to live in with the mini donkey and the two Nigerian dwarf goats which wouldn’t be a problem I think but I do worry about the two ducks and my chickens. I’d hate to find the pig has eaten any of them! Have you ever had a problem like that? I have a window open every night year round, combined with the fact we have a woodburner downstairs so the furnace doesn’t run much, the upstairs bedrooms get pretty cold even without an open window. My John grumbles that he has to pull the covers over his head to keep it warm but I’m thinking it wouldn’t matter much if he had a bit more hair there!!!
I hope your cracked fingertips heal themselves quickly!
I do love those piggy faces! It sounds like they are getting a daily workout keeping up with you. Is that Mama above the daily photo?
They are probably the happiest pigs alive and their faces show it! They make me want to have a pet pig 🙂
That first shot is an adorable postcard waiting to happen!
Gorgeous piggies! Look forward to following your daily photos too!
