All my city clothes were peeled off, stepped out of, abandoned and dropped in snail heaps on the bedroom floor as I morphed back into miss c. I will pick them all up later I promise but I was late for chores and everyone was calling. They knew they could use my guilt about being away to get more hay.
But not everything is always pretty on the farmy. I was away for 24 hours and what do I find when I get home? Someone is not sharing. 
Of course as I approached this milling bunch, I thought to myself; oh look, how sweet. Kupa and the kittens are sharing. 
What a lovely bunch of animals living on the farmy with me. 
Then LouLou and Good Authority got just a teensy bit too close to their own cat treats and BAM! Notice that the cats do not leave the table. 
Peacock Peck to the Head. Poor Author. I sent Kupa off and with a good deal of nonchalance, and in his own time, thank you very much, he condescended to leave the cats table and without a moment wasted the kittens were back to scoffing their food.
Usually they get chopped up meat so this dry nasty dried fast food is a treat. 
Kupa is unrepentant. Peacocks seldom are.
Early to bed for me last night. 
And early to rise this morning. Good morning. It is 11F (-11.5C) degrees outside, clear and still. The house is freezing, I guess the fires went out while I was away, we are very low on firewood now and John was out in the woods gathering more dead wood from old trees. It takes a while to warm it all back up. I am wearing all my farm clothes one on top of the other.
But thats OK. We are on the far side of winter now.
Daisy was perfectly well behaved for John when he milked her yesterday so that was a relief and when it warms up today I shall take Sheila out for a walk. She is a one woman pig that one. There are noticeable changes in Mama’s udder too which is interesting and a bit early! But you know what she is like! She likes to tease.
I will be playing catch-up and feasting on a fridge full of deliciousness for days!
Have a lovely day.

Love how you lay out the cat food on the picnic table! It’s like they’re really having a picnic!
Those peacocks can be selfish and nasty. Too bad they’re so pretty, otherwise they’d have to work for their friends.
you are so funny! I never thought of it that way!! c
Hahaha! Never a dull moment . . . 😀
Such a wonderful story, I really do enjoy, Thanks for the sharing!
Have a great day, Cecilia! 🙂
Oh Kupa! He put those little kitties in their place. I wonder if they would have jumped down at all hand you not shown up. I always think it’s funny when the typical order of the food chain is reversed. I remember once our cat smacked a very large dog across the face, multiple times, until he got “his” seat back on the couch. The dog was just stunned. Loved the photos!
I know that feeling of trying to warm up the house after even a short absence. We haven’t got temperatures any where near as low as yours, but we’re using firewood at an alarming rate. It’s balancing the cost between electricity, paraffin and wood. Wood wins every time.
HILARIOUS!
When the mom’s away…the peacocks will play! Love the Kupa cover shot!
