I think there is. I was humming it all day long yesterday. It was bendy tree windy but we had piles of sun. Sun-Sun Sun-Sun.
I could not find my phone for a while – apparently someone had been going through my jacket pockets! Puppys nowadays will only settle for the very latest technology.
Everyone was out in the sun yesterday, the whole farm fell into a quiet doze.
Do you think Charlotte is looking fatter? If I got a stethoscope and listened to her belly do you think I would hear a multitude of heartbeats – itty bitty hearbeats?
The summer pig palace is almost finished. I shall put a wall on the side of their new little house and finish their fence then today I hope to move them into their nice big outdoor summer space.
I know that Sheila will be thrilled.
The haymakers field is growing at a fantastic rate. I am so glad we did not take a third cut last year. It looks to me like we may be baling hay in May. Just imagine.
Daisy hung over the fence watching us work on the summer palace. I am cutting down on her extra feed and when she gets down to 10 pounds of milk per milking (she is at 15) I will try her to milk her once a day again.
As we were working with tractors and post-hole diggers the pup had to be kept in one place. He took it out on his leash but was quiet. He is walked on his leash as often as possible now to help him learn to come the moment he is called and to walk with me as opposed to in front of me. Blue Heelers will try to boss people about and this would not be acceptable so these lessons start very young. As you can imagine he is practicing giving me filthy looks when the leash comes out.
The sheep were given a couple of hours in the potato field. The sound of them munching was fantastic.
I honestly think that animals on grass is a magnificent all-is-right-with-the-world sight. Though they were not there long I felt heartened. Summer will come.
Here is a shot across the loft to the Peahen Penthouse. A flock of barn chickens and Author (the kitten) have joined them in there. They are creeping in and out of the gaps in the panel.
Evidently it is quite the happening joint.
What a lovely day we had.
Good morning. I am hoping for a lovely day for you all. Today will be blustery and I am lining one side of the pig pen in corrugated iron I found in the barn loft, so they are sheltered from wind and afternoon sun, that will be interesting to manage in the high winds!!
Have a lovely day.

here comes the sun, in word and deed. the energy and beauty of your your barn ad pasture animals is so meaningful to me. country life is always to work hard, the benefits though, are compelling.
these photos and words brought tears to my eyes.
thank you so much for sharing!
sending happy Monday sun your way.
I am thrilled that you enjoy reading, we certainly enjoy the doing, could you give me a name so i know what to call you? any name will do, you have come up as Someone! But writing ‘good morning someone’ does not sound right!! have a lovely day.. c
Would you just look at that face with a little wet nose on your phone – hard to be angry with such a cutiepie.
Have a beautiful SUN filled day C.

Glorious day! Quite the sideways look from the iPhone thief. Now you have me humming the song.
I am so sorry, and it is all cloudy and windy here now so i am humming the wrong riff! c
Hullo ! My first visit to your bloggy home. Beautiful critters and pictures. You must be close to me–raining here (gently–a soft rain, mostly, as the Irish would say) and cloudy after a gorgeous Sunday that allowed me to hang the clothes out on the line to dry. We only have a tiny bit of land, enough room for gardens and chickens, but utilizing every inch of it. I want to get my hives back up, and so am going to look for a bee club/classes…the Irishman did it before and says he’s not doing it now, too much work. (not my recollection of them). Anyway…lol Do you sell your honey, and where are you ? I’m near Alton, Edwardsville…one hour south of Springfield.
good morning annie and welcome! I will be selling honey again just as soon as i establish the new hives, we lost all of ours this winter – awful. We are 100 miles south of chicago, a wee way from you but not TOO far! wasn’t sunday glorious..but the rain is good too, have a lovely evening! c
I’m so happy for Big Dog in his good warm coat. And he is such a Lover-Boy to properly thank you. The Matriarch has a good heart. And so do you, Celia, for giving her the credit.
I can’t wait to see how The bees arrive. Can’t imagine.
Gorgeous sunshine here too. Maybe Blue was checkign the online weather report?!
When we have sun I always hum—“Sunshine, beautiful sunshine, there is sunshine in my soul today.” Of course I can’t remember the rest but just that little bit makes me happy.

Yes, we’re all going to be humming the Beatles tune today…especially the du dn du du part! 🙂 Loved the Farmy photos today…specially lil Boy Blue trying to make a call with your cell phone. Too cute!!
Loving your captures of the animals – pup already knows how to take control of the smartphone – ha! Happy Week on the Farmy:)
Wouldn’t you know? Our first authentic, genuine spring day and I spend it with an obnoxious, head-bending, totally unwelcome cold. Ahchoo, cough, cough, cough, ahchoo, cough, hack. I hope we get another one soon.
PS. Love the new puppy. And the older ones, too : )
How wonderful to see that everybody is doing great and that the weather is cooperating 😉
Blue is such a cute dog…
Charlotte definitely looks fatter. Watch out for the phone – it’s an expensive chew 😉
How funny, even in exile the naughty peahens have not been forsaken by the other farmy cast, but then the Peahen Penthouse, as you say is quite the place. Charlotte does look a bit filled out, and very in the moment in her patch of sun sun sun here it comes… 🙂
Snowy wet cold day here in Colorado..we are trained to say…”it’s ok we need the moisture”
I will say it, although my inside voice is screaming ARRGGGG..!! BRRRRRRRRRRRR
Charlotte …adorable and growing….Looks as if LBB is going to have tons of
personality …Have a wonderful week !
