The early morning sun yesterday was a sight for sore eyes. And tired eyes. Immediately we were uplifted.
I opened all the doors in the barn and light flowed straight past me and into the gloom. 
Everyone crowded for the tiny warm spaces. 
Some are better at sharing than others.
The Duke of Kupa is very good at sharing. More like show and tell. 
So is Minty, though she was not thrilled to be sharing with Charlotte. 
Good morning. Today we are back to considerable cloudiness and a band of snow but the sun yesterday went right into my bones and will sustain me for another few days.
Today I am taking Tilly and the Blue Murphy into the local school to visit with a group of 6 year olds. It is going to be a rush as they want us there at 9am! So I had better get going. There is a lot to do before then. I will take Camera House and if our visit does not get too wild I will take some shots and show you their visit tomorrow.
You all have a lovely day.

Hope the visit goes well (mad woman!) The sun has come out here too today and we are painting outside (walls and woodwork, nothing artistic) and it’s a joy to be outside 🙂
It’s amazing how the sun and warmth can lift our spirits.
Have a beautiful week ahead C.

Enjoy sun and visit, but try and rest those tired eyes from time to time.
Love,

Hi do you milk your goats? We are thinking about either milking goats, or minature types of cows, does it take much work, or not too bad? xo
Beautiful peacock.
I’m sure the animals enjoy the sunshine as much as the humans do 😉
What fun those 6-year-olds will have. You all will be the hit of their day.
Snowing already here in southeastern Minnesota with up to 10 inches expected. So perhaps some of this is moving your way. The boy is supposed to travel by bus from Fargo to Minneapolis Tuesday evening and then fly to Chicago and onward to Boston on Wednesday morning. I’m praying the storm is over by then.
I know what you mean about a day of sunshine. We had that on Saturday and WOW, what a day of sunshine won’t do for a winter weary soul.
What do you think those dear lambies made of their first sight (not to mention feel) of sunshine??!!! How’s Mia today? I am worried about her…especially and somehow since she shares my youngest daughter’s name.
Mia is slowly recovering but she will never be a strong sheep again. Two very rough miscarriages may have been too much for her i am afraid. c
We had an awesome overcast and rainy day yesterday – most welcome after 15 straight days of 35*C (95F) +. Our mornings are getting cooler – we must be heading into Autumn. Love the picture of the rooster and cat sharing ! Laura
Kupa is certainly a guy who knows how to make the most of good light! Stunning!

Have fun! 🙂
what a gorgeous creature!!
Gosh, sunshine here too yesterday, although much colder and frostier than I would have liked. Some lovely crocuses and snowdrops out in the garden and everything was going along just fine till I started reading some friend’s blogs from OXON and realised they had blooming daffodils and wanted to move to France! Perhaps today I’ll paint myself some daffodils. Hope your visit went well and Tilly and the Murphy’s behaved themselves. 🙂
Yes I’m worried about Mia too.
That sun yesterday was fantastic, wasn’t it? I saw on the maps that there’s a band of snow heading your way. Hope it doesn’t make a mess of your roads while you’re traveling to-and-from the school. Kupa is such a show off! He looks incredible, though.
Have fun with the kids and a great day, as well.
We are just back from Denmark, and life returns to normal after all that a funeral involves. The house is still topsy turvey, and plaster dust rains (and reigns) over us constantly. Sunny here, too, which lifts the spirits. Hope your day is all you wish, c.
