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.

No, but I know a calendar that has Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, if that helps? 🙂
Oh, that look of guilt! Maybe he had just put a call through to China?
The rest of the gang is as cute as ever.
Great shot of Blue! I’m sending it a couple dog-lovin’ friends.
That sun yesterday was fantastic and long overdue! I was able to get the flowerbeds finished and should be able to wrap things up in another day or two, weather permitting. Things are really greening on the farmy. Good to see the animals out with blue skies overhead. It will be nice when that is once again an everyday occurrence and not the least bit noteworthy, like it is now. 🙂
It makes me so glad for you to see that grass, and I totally agree that ‘animals on grass is a magnificent all-is-right-with-the-world sight.’ Of course it’s so much the norm here in NZ that we take it for granted.
Love the photo of that guilty little pup with the phone!
My new book has been launched! Take a look at my blog for a tribute to the bloggers who helped with the project, and a photo of a very Kiwi gift:

I just overdosed on cuteness. Don’t tell TonTon.
He’ll be on the phone whining about Blue before you know it! c
Oh, there’s plenty of pats to go around!
[‘Here comes the sun!’ Now I’m singing it: am really dating myself in saying I too remember 🙂 !] That look in Blue’s eyes is incomparable . . . accidental or carefully waited for? Think it may be a wee bit early to listen for Charlotte’s tummy singing a song, but it should be getting there . . .
Was Blue texting, or playing games? It does seem the leash is bearing his frustration–or puppy chewingness. The lambs have certainly grown!
That puppy steals every post. Midwifes used to use a hearing trumpet rather than a stethoscope, maybe they’re easier to fashion? 🙂
Love the image of the dawg and the iPhone. Love that you recalled that old Sunrays lyric! Blessings to you, Ms. C!
My sweet, you should know that my heart expands exponentially with calm happiness every time you describe your day’s journey around the farmy and your passion for all of it. Thank you. Happy Springtime to you and all of your company there! xo
