Anytime I was outside yesterday, puddling about with the children,
Sheila the Hereford pig was attached to my leg like a limpit, a really big limpit. Literally leaning on my leg as we walked about. She chatted and shared secrets, and followed me everywhere. Gossiping like a lonely country woman left too long in the hills. 
Mama let her have her day.
And LouLou looked on.
But no matter where we went that little/big pig just talked and talked and talked. And when I had to be inside the house or elsewhere she just laid at the gate with Hairy MacLairy and watched for movement. Though she did spend part of the day grooming and chastising Hairy as he had all kinds of hay stuck in his fleece and she does like things to be clean.
Today the Home-schooled children and I are going to have a go at making our candles and tomorrow The Matriarch and I are catching the train up to the city for a shopping extravagansa with our Guide ChgJohn. We will be going to his favourite markets, to find delicious baggage to lug home.
I hope to visit Chicago a few times and catch up with a few more of you before the spring lambs. Once the lambs are born leaving the farm is impossible for a while because next there will be chicks and in a few months maybe piglets! Then you will all have to come and visit me.
Mama has promised to watch the others for me for the day. 
Good morning. I am going up to warp speed. Come on! Keep up!
Have a lovely day.

How fun…a day in the windy city! I’m sure your sweet little pig (hog now, really) will be even more lonely. Soon her sister will be home and then it will be her turn. (?)

Everyone is a sweetheart on The Farmy. Happy Valentine’s day one and all Celi. V.
The new “roost” is coming along so nicely! And I am eager to hear how the candle making comes along, too. What a fun project. So much going on, I’m sure you’re running in top shape! 🙂
Bless little sheila, hope she enjoyed her chats with you. Are you meeting up with John or just following his advice…am super envious!
JOhn is picking us up from the train station and whisking us away!! c
How very wonderful!
I look forward to hear about your adventures with Chicago John!
Happy tripping
Wow, I love the lines of the Coupe! It really fits into the rest of the house.
Have lovely trip and don’t spend too much lol!
LOL indeed!! c
Love that roof on the Coupe, and to see it joining up with the house. It’s so exciting.
*left behind, panting*
Poor, Sheila. Her day will come, one way or another.
Well, the cat’s out of the bag now! Everything’s all set and you’re both in for a good time tomorrow. Enjoy the train ride!
Enjoy the peace and quiet now, we will be there tomorrow!! .. c
I’m thinking poor Sheila too, but at least she has you.
I hope you have a great trip to Chicago – you and John need to work on the venison smuggling plan 😉
SSSSssssshhhh! Whisper when you say stuff like that!! c
Oh my, wouldn’t I love to be a birdie on your shoulder tomorrow 🙂 ! Give my ‘love’ to Chicago John: hmmm, I’m still getting over the fact that he let me go on forever about Sydney et al when the dear guy had been here . . . very funny!!! Sure you are going to have a fabulouys day – hope the weather plays along!
The Coupe is coming along nicely. Sheila will probably be happy to have Charlotte home soon.
I do hope you explained to Sheila that Charlotte is coming back, and hasn’t gone Somewhere Else.. you know Where!!!
