Sunflowers are not for sissies

A cheerful scene. Not autumnal at all. Though I am very fond of that word   – autumnal. Sunflowers are not for sissies.  And judging by yesterdays comments there are no sissies in our Fellowship. sunflowers-054 sunflowers-042

Of course flowers would have been enough for a Sunday post.

But the morning light was so beautiful yesterday. Our light source is getting lower in the sky.

Good morning.

It is Sunday here, though this means very little to the farmy animals. Queenie has come down with a nasty dose of conjunctivitis (pink eye) so the lady vet is sending over an antibiotic spray for her eyes which I will collect today. Queenie-044 I have brought her into the barn so that the direct sunlight does not hurt her eyes while she is being treated. Plus she needs to be separated from  Daisy as this is very contagious and if it runs untreated can result in blindness. We are going to have to watch out that Daisy does not get this either.  It is spread by flies and flies we certainly have in the summer.

You all have a lovely day.

your friend on the farmy, celi

  1. Oh my gosh your sunflowers are stunning, c!! Puts my little store bought teddy bears to shame. I now have sunflower envy! Oh, and pig envy too. I’ve gone on about getting a new dog, a french bulldog.. but I’m getting nowhere with my husband. He won’t have another dog and that’s that:P Maybe I should just buy one..

  2. It was a beautiful Sunday. Sorry to hear Queenie has to deal with pink eye. That’s no fun! I’m glad you noticed it quickly and treatment is on the way.

  3. Don’t know whether it would work for other creatures and other things, but when cats and dogs get those messy eyes that leave brown runny channels running down their faces or noses- bathing them in cold tea for a few days clears it up…
    Cold tea is also brilliant for washing off mud and grease from a messy windscreen in winter !!!
