I love having children on the farm.
Just having fun.
After the mandatory swim, this fellow gathers eggs, feeds the cats, (Egoli was found at his house so he always brings him and Tiba a little pot of food each). He picks tomatoes in the gardens then settles down with a little jar of dried apples. 
He is amazed at how fast the chicks are growing. Then he played with the dogs and The Matriarch read in her own verandah and the afternoon sunk into peacefulness.
Good morning. Today Boo is off to the vet for The Little Boys Visit. He will be a wee bit annoyed with me. He is being kept inside this morning so he does not go out into the sweetcorn and help himself to breakfast. If his little operation goes according to plan I can pick him at lunchtime. Otherwise it is full stem ahead.
I hope you are going to have a lovely day.
your friend on the farmy, celi

Kids and pools! They’re a joy to watch! And poor Boo, he WILL be sore.. 🙂 Have a great one, dearheart! x
Poor Boo! all mine have been done including hub
Good morning Celi; poor Boo! I always worry about kids near pools cant stop myself. be a blessing mike
Fabulous water photos! There are days when I wish we had a pool…And that last shot is a super-winner, calendar material, for certain.
(If Boo’s sulking now, he may not speak to you for a week after he gets home! 😉 )
Brilliant photos! Good luck to Boo – he’ll be a better “man” for it 🙂
Well, Boo may go ‘boo-hoo’ for a day or two, but just look at all these fabulous jars of food all ready for the dark and cold months . . . must feel so good to walk past them . . .
Such warming wonderful photos C.
Poor Boo – e can have a double breakfast tomorrow.
Have a beautiful day.
🙂 Mandy xo
The little boys visit,made me laugh 🙂 have a great day Ms. Celi..
I didn’t know the farmy had a pool! You can teach the piglets to swim! Cuddles to Boo.
I see you have dried tomato slices? May I ask how you plan to use them? I am very new to dehydrating. But I love the little glimpses of the Coupe. I can just imagine how nice it must be to sit on the screened porch and have a wonderful, home-grown dinner. Hope everything goes well for Boo.
We eat on the screened in porch every evening, and it is glorious. I intend to make sundried pesto today with the slices, some will go into good californian olive oil with a few cloves of garlic and others will stay dry for topping pizzas and my shepherds pie which i am making tonight as well.. I don’t think i can ever have enough of dried tomatoes in oil though! c
I dehydrate nice firm crisp red apples. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar mix..dry..yummo! I can’t dry them fast enough to suit everyone in my family. For some reason I have not tried tomatoes..yours look wonderful…so they are next on my list. My sister dehydrates sweet potatoes for a treat for her dog! He loves them.
Wow, Boo would love those he is into vegetables! If you see another apple tree going to waste let me know, I could do apple chips forever! c
I have a source. Maybe I can bring you some. I need to bring you a pear tomorrow and you can make a judgement call on if they are ready to pick. A few are turning really ripe.
excellent.
Lovely action shots… shame are we off for the snip snip???
Snip Snip, Boo Hoo.. Oh, they said at the vets, what a well trained puppy. Boo and I smiled at each other.. Hmm..
haha! He has them well fooled then 😉
Beautiful photos in today’s post, Celi. Sounds like the Boy had a wonderful visit. And then there’s Ton, ever-ready with a stick in his mouth just in case the Boy changes his mind and exits the pool. In the long run, Boo will be happier. That’s what I told Max and I’m not going to change my story now. 🙂
Have a great day, Celi.
Your photos this morning are especially fabulous. The light seems beyond perfect.
He looks like he’s having so much fun. I bet we could have fun together playing in that water. I love to blow bubbles in it through my snout – snorts. XOXO – Bacon
It’s a might chilly for a swim in these parts, but then again kids can take the freezing temperatures and swim till their lips are purple! Hope the operation goes well.
