Yesterday I went back through some of our old shots so that I could compile an extra page that new people can refer to if they need to identify one of the animals or birds. It sits up there, (look up) right next to About.
It is The Cast of Characters Page. Do you see it up there under Kupa? Pop over if you want to see the whole page. It will give you an overview of the Lead characters in our little farmy Play. It is not quite finished – however I have a feeling it never will be. Life is like that. Fluid. Like old glass. Things change you know!
I was uplifted by the colour that I found in our previous pages. ( As The Farmy dives back into yet another Bloody ‘Cold Snap!’. I’ll give you Cold Bloody Snap!) So, it was a relief to look back and KNOW that things will change soon . Here are a few of the shots I came across. 
You will remember some of these old shots~!
Baby Charltte and Sheila.. Were they ever this little?! Not one of these photographs is from yesterday.
In fact some of these are not even from this year!! I have gone straight to summer so we can feel the warmth
! Remember that the bees come on April 13th! I hope it is warmer by then. This cold cannot hold on too much longer surely.
Soon it will be THIS hot!
There isn’t that better? Keep the spring faith.
Good morning. Yesterday and the day before the ground thawed just enough for us to get some heavy work done. We worked hard and fast. The old summer pigsty was removed and that little field (the salad bar field) was covered in compost for the chickens to spread around. This will be lightly tilled and sown in a mixture of red clover, white clover, summer rye and a fescue I have not grown before. It is a difficult field because of all the gravel below the thin layer of soil, so this is a hardy fast growing recovery mix. I will also add chicory.
Yesterday was funny. Was there a change in gravity? Everything I lifted seemed so much heavier than usual. I am used to time doing strange things but when gravity waxes and wanes it is a weird sensation.
After this next cold spell, and once the ground has dried enough to work, we will be ready to sow the seeds. We are re-sowing four small fields this year so we have our work cut out for us.
I hope you all have a lovely day. I really do. I have just realised that I have not added myself to The Cast page. Later I will go back and see if there is a shot of me we can use. I am always on the working side of the camera so images of miss c are as rare as hens teeth!
Good morning!

The new Cast page is wonderful – all the wonderful pictures – fun to review.
Yeah, it’s 80 here ( cooler front coming in shortly…but…). Don’t fret – the humidity is already much too high – soon we will all be escaping indoors from excessive heat and humidity while you guys are all outside.
And the tree pollen is making everything green ( just for St Patrick’s Day? I always wonder if Mother Nature has such a sense of humor..)
Oh, the heavy feeling? Hmmmm. Big sunspots released end of last week. NASA did mention it might affect the poles and disrupt cell communications…are they not telling us something?
Wishing you a light heart and sunny mild weather.
Even though I know the current cast of characters…I think…I must go check the new page. Meanwhile, so fun to see these shots again, and the no longer baby pigs!! Yesterday was a blue sky day here like the one in your first shot. Our first real day of spring, even this far south. We’ve been out all weekend enjoying the warm (74 degrees) weather, which will begin a cool down tomorrow, just in time for the equinox! Your spring is coming soon, so hang in there. Have a lovely day!
I actually took a deep sniff of that basil !! And the Sushi sisters look SO cute! Thanks for the cheery pictures.
We’re in for another winter storm starting tomorrow……..ho, hum, oh well, it will eventually melt.
Ugh, don’t remind me the heat is coming. At least the tomatoes are behind it.
Good grief, you have been so busy 🙂 I love the farmy cast page, and I can feel you willing the warm weather to you… possibly the forces of nature played around with gravity in response 😉
adored the photos; bobby blanc’s skin too lovely to ruin it with a cigarette; shame on your bb
Just what I needed to see, these splendid images of spring and summer. My husband received a blizzard alert text message this afternoon. That’s how far we are from spring here in Minnesota.
Those photos are just breathtaking! So glad you had a chance to resuscitate them (as another mintry mix bears down on us). Happy Day, Miss C!
Hi Celi
I love the new addition of your “cast of characters”….I love all the animals but have to say my favs are Thing1 and Thing2 cause I’m such a cat lover….so I am eagerly awaiting their entrance to the play!
Thing Two has gone at the same time as mary’s cat. which leaves us with an interesting question, should we include the principals who have already left us and even ones who we know will be leaving in the future.. i think yes. like white cat, and mary’s cat..hmm.. something to think about.. thank you nancy.. c
Oh, I remember the close-up bee photos!
Oh darn…lost my comment, Celi. I popped up to the gallery and lost whatever wondrous words. Y’all have come a loooong way, Babe! Even I sat murmuring, “Oh yah, I remember that shot.” And “I remember when she was only wishing for a peacock.”
I saw the sketch our blogger from Skye did of Ton Ton. Then the cat. So well done. I’m wondering if you received copies…
I havbe the one of Ton and I believe she is spoiling me by sending Big Dog as well.. that girl is such a talented artist! c
Much hand wringing Saturday when I couldn’t find you Celi. I even got up at 3 am to see if you had posted today. I think we need to warm you up a little. This cold weather drains one of energy. Come on spring. V.
Oh no, that is awful, maybe I should just post that i am not posting if I have another of those days.. i shall do that.. i missed it too .. c
[laughing] We are dependent on your posts, aren’t we? I have to admit, honest gal that I am, that I even went thru’ googling thinking perhaps my email address had somehow disappeared from your lists 🙂 ! And now you say you are on fb as well! Sugar, lady, how do you manage – I gave that up end of 2011 as my personal time management skills had deserted me and the virtual world was taking over . . .
with the FB I just pop up the page for the people over there and often any good shots that i come across that don’t go into the blog.. Most people are very forgiving of my time restraints, and are kind enough to visit me even though i seldom have time to visit them.. i am so lucky.. c
NO, Celi: WE are so lucky!!
I hear you about the weather, expecting another snow storm, hope the forecast is incorrect. I so appreciate the Cast of Players page.
Oh, dear, god.. we have the same Cold Snap.. I wish I could snap my fingers and be done with it!! I love your Cast of Players.. I thought I was such a simpleton because I couldn’t keep track of everyone.. thank you from this “somewhat older” reader:) xx
you are most verily welcome.. if you pop back – am I right in assuming you are close to canmore? I will be flying into calgary in july, to go up the mountain.. are you close to there, i cannot remember why i think this, your daughter skis up there maybe?.. c
