Charlotte is doing a lot of heaving herself about, snapping at Sheila, hogging all the food and has taken to lying on her side taking up most of the bed. Sheila is being long suffering. Charlotte is unrepentant. As you would expect.
I have chosen the site for this years summer pig palace but it is presently under snow. Yes it snowed. And you know how I love the snow. I do. But the Shush Sisters will have to wait in their Winter Quarters for a bit longer.
Queenie Wineti loves the snow too. The rest of them spent most of the day in the barn. Good Authority (Author) has a very sleepy cats-eyes look.
Very green.
Everyone has quietly talked me into opening all the barn doors to the pens so they can come back in. I will have to set to and clean the floors all over again next week, but the weather being so inclement, I feel better if they have proper shelter.

He is not a pretty rooster.
Now, I need you to help me. Here is a shot of the underside of Kupa’s tail feathers, he was sitting on a rafter with his tail draped down behind him. See that pink that is not quite a pink, I want to create a stain in that colour for the kitchen cabinets in The Coupe.
But what would it be called. Pink is so … well pink and this is blowsier, a faded dustier shade of something. I like it. Just the merest stain though, too much would be awful.
Good morning. I have no way of judging depth of snow as it blew up some lovely snow drifts last night but it seems we finally got a proper dump of snow in the night, a nice drop of precipitation for the fields. Excellent. It will warm up into the 40’s today, so they say, which means it will start to melt into the ground where it belongs straight away.
Good morning. This week is a big week for the Coupe. Today if anyone can get through, the electrics will be finished, tomorrow the man will spray the insulation, then the next day (hopefully) the doors and windows arrive, then on to cladding and dry walling.
Exciting.
I hope you all have a lovely day. It is time for me to put on all my clothes and find my way out to the barn through the snowdrifts. I have told John NOT to start scooping the snow out until I have taken some pictures for you. See you tomorrow.

Really sick of snow and what does a preggers sow crave to eat? 🙂 Morning miss c……t
everything apparently, well, except orange peels!.. morning miss t.. c
How about creating a faux finish with the color you desire for your cabinets? Maybe what you like is not so much the color alone but the contrast of the mixed colors and the texture of the feathers. When I lived back in the States, I painted my kitchen walls using the Tuscan faux finish in a light yellow and it made my whole kitchen bright and cheery. What colors are your walls in the kitchen? Are they plain or another color? I miss you and the farm and hope you are doing well. BAM
Why not call it “dusky pink” or even “a hint of pink” Do you have paint shops there where they can mix paint to match ANYTHING? We do and very useful they are too.
More snow….. and here we are fighting off squadrons of mosquitoes. How I envy you *sigh*
I know dogs can get morning sickness, but it’s usually over pretty quickly.
Even though ,y birthday was the first day of spring I didn’t deliver the warm e=weather we all feel ready to receive. So I apologize for this snowy stuff you’re enduring. It’s all my fault and I take full responsibility. And no, I will not seek the presidential nomination in 2016!
Remember what they called the color of Meggie’s dress in The Thorn Birds? Ashes of Roses. I love that…when I was 15, I went plowing through the fabric store looking for one that matched it in my mind’s eye…
Good that you got some more snow. Next time, try to keep it at your house…it’ll be here by tonight, and I’m done with it!
Good morning, Celi
Well, I’ve got 31″ snow on my deck and patio table…..and I live south of you guys. It’s a very lovely, heavy winter-wonderland snow, like living in a white castle since the tree branches are hanging so heavy….still….I do hope this is the last for us…I need spring!! Don’t get buried in a snowdrift!!
You cleverly make snow seem cosy. I think it’s cosy in pictures. If you have Photoshop you can find a Pantone reference to any colour in a picture. Just use the eye dropper on the colour that you want, bring up the colour picker and click on “Colour libraries”. This will give you a range of Pantone colour numbers that you could use at a paint shop to get a colour mixed.
I’m delighted for your snow even though I know you long for spring. And I’m sorry you’ll have to clean that barn again…that’s the worst of it! It’s trying to snow here but I don’t expect we’ll see much. Have a great day and I look forward to your “snow” pictures!
Poor Charlotte. I hope she gets to feeling better soon. Pregnancy is rough no matter what species you are!
Good luck with the coupe work this week.
You’re scooping snow and yesterday I bought a tomato plant. It’s going to have be under a cloche for the next couple of days, but it should be all right. Hang in there -spring is really coming!
As ever Roger’s advice is spot on. But there is one job I have always wanted to do and that is to name things – whether it’s bathroom suites or paints – the names they come up with are brilliantly awful. I could do that! Now as to your peacock pink – hmmmmhow about tailfeather blush, I could continue if you want…….
It was snowing all day Friday here too, but Saturday and Sunday were warmer so it melted most of the new stuff. Old stuff still has a way to go. Spring is in the air!
That is the most beautiful cat!
