Though they spend most of their time in their sheltered winter quarters, if the weather is nice, The Shush Sisters still come out each day for a walk. Sheila has dressed up for her outing and put a bow tie on her tail!! 
No, it is TonTon behind her. Though Ton appears to be wearing a brown top hat so this shot just gets worse and worse. 
Both Charlotte and Sheila are growing up into very nice looking piggies. For those of you who are new, these are Hereford Pigs Charlotte has the white face and sticky uppy ears. Sheila has brown smudges on her droopy ears. Charlotte is in more shots than Sheila because Sheila is almost always walking right at my heel like a well trained dog. I need to call the swine herd and make an appointment for Charlotte with the Boar. Not a very delicate thought is it.(?) Does a rhetorical question have a question mark?
Minty is also difficult to get a shot of as she is almost always standing on the other side of me, at her own heel. 
And what have we here. (?) A chook escaping back INto the chook house. Which of you chickens was playing with a ball inside, even though we have talked about this before and who broke a window? I will have to fix that tomorrow. Two more eggs today! Joy.

Good morning everyone. Today is shopping day so The Matriarch and I will take her big jeep into town and fill it with supplies for the next few weeks. We always start at the feed store and finish at the grocery store. The list is long. Not my favourite way to spend a day as you know but it is not as cold this morning and most of the ice has melted off the roads, so it is a good idea to just get it over and done with.
Have a lovely day. And if you are in Aussie I hope you find somewhere cool for the next week or so. The temperatures there sound scorching.

The sun is right on the spot where the blue crumply car was !
Those shush sisters have a special place on the farmy ..
Thank goodness that got towed away while I was gone..well remembered nanster.. c
Great Shush picture and 2 eggs!
They are a beautiful pair…
Now that you mentioned…visiting the Boar, I think I know why my childhood memories of what papa, and the other men called a “Breeding”, don’t include the presence of a “Woman” around…of course, Papa, nor the other farmers watching seemed squeamish at all…
Had I raised any question…they would probably have answered something similar to the answer they always gave to someone who said…Eeeewww, how can you stand the smell of those pigs everyday?
“Smells Like Money To Me” they’d retort…without even as much as a hint of humor in their voice.
~Happy New Year~
I grow more fond of pigs, the more I see of them. Our daughter keeps her pony, for the moment, with some others at a nearby smallholding. They have a pair of Gloucester Old Spots there that are as charming and seductive as your two Hereford girls:).
TWO eggs WHOOP WHOOP
I love feed stores! Especially in the winter.Enjoy the day
They´re looking gorgeous and hurrah for the 100% increase in egg production 😉
Knock, knock.. Smidge here.. Charlotte and Sheila look so endearing.. and I love how they traipse around with you.. Your skiff of snow is similar to ours here in BC today. We’ve a view of a lake, though:) xx
A wintery day for The Farmy. How I love to visit. To admire the lovely Shush sisters. Share the excitement of two more eggs, and look over Celi’s shoulder as she writes her long, long shopping list. Have a most excellent week-end Celi. Hugs V.
Sheila has a wisp of Nureyev in her delicate lifting of what I assume to be a hefty paw – she must feel that tiny black bow and her sturdy tail curling around it in love; oh the wonder of points of view! adored the post; sorry for the heat in Australia, have 2 young women friends in Adelaid, and my best friend, their mom and her husband, moving there in the future. Best to all
I know how you detest shopping, so I hope it is not too painful. You really ought to show us your town sometime. I would like to see what surrounds the Farmy.
Also, that chook in the window image is such a great shot with those jolts of red in an otherwise colorless scene. Excellent work.
My mum always said, ‘Let’s fly this coop” so the photo with the chooks made me smile. Good morning, c.
What a gleaming day.
The Piggy sisters are beautiful!
The grandkids would simply love your furry/hairy/feathery friends! I don’t think they would like the temperature, though. Although today it was a little chilly for swimming after a late coldish front. (Still shirtsleeves and bare feet with open window at 22h47, though!)
good morning and welcome,,and welcome also to your grandchildren.. this blog has many little followers who love animals!! c
