Marcel has taken to spending his entire day in this box. 
I think he may have been bullied by these two.
Though I am sure butter would not melt in their mouths.
It may be time for Marcel to join the flock. 
Here is the angel who keeps me safe from lightening storms.
With his little tucked up feet.
It was Kim’s last farm stay day yesterday. I told her she is doing so well with everything I could go to town and leave her in charge. We will miss her. Now remember, if you want to come and stay you can do this without being mentioned on the blog at all. It is your choice. The Coupe is a wonderful space for a retreat or as a writing space. There is no need to be involved in the farm at all. 
Though Kim literally jumped in boots and all. She is fearless and has done so well with her charges that her chicks are laying themselves at her feet trying to make her stay on.
The trailer is ready for the next batch of meat chicks. Watch out Post Mistress there should be chicks in the mail today! 
I am going to have to tidy my work bench now that I don’t have a pear tree to hide behind.
I put another super on the bees hive a week ago. My very quick look Yesterday showed that this hive is growing at a massive rate. Russians are a bit untidy with their comb making but there is honey and brood. I think I can put my first honey super on in a couple of weeks. I am feeling cautiously optimistic about getting honey this year. Honey and chickens are an important currency around here.
Note my new gloves. They reach up to my elbow! Very posh.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy

I have finally caught up on what happened at the Farmy while I was gallivanting and getting up to mischief for a week. Everyone looks healthy and happy. Pity about the trees. I still have my fingers crossed for your book editing etc.
If Kim is making the rounds this summer, perhaps she’d like to try a stint on the east coast…there;s plenty to learn here, too.
Well, I have skills now…let’s talk! ha 🙂
awww – what a cutie!
Poor Marcel – perhaps he’s just realised he’s a sheep and not a cow (or dog) 🙂
I actually think that is his problem. I have put him out with the big sheep and he is now quietly grazing with them, much better..
He is having an identity crisis. Poor guy.
Bless 😉
Oh bless him in his box!
Awww, precious Lambie 🙂 Look at that lovely white wax! I couldn’t imagine coming to the Farmy and not being involved with the animals. Laura
Marcel almost looks like the captain leaning over the bow of a box ship there in that photo. Poor guy, I’m sure he felt protected there and am glad he’s out amongst his own kind now. I know you’ll miss Kim!
Yes, bless Marcel for sure. Such a pitiful sight. I’m glad he is now with his own kin. Who was it who mamma-ed him? Not Mama, I know. Not Tilly. Meadow!! Yes!
Minty, yes you are right and she is the one in the shot touching noses .. they have been together through the fence for a few days so now is a good time. He is big enough now.. c
I secretly wish Kim had been an all-thumbs kind of gal, so if I came along I wouldn’t seem so bad.
Everyone has a talent for something, I am sure you would fine your niche very quickly.. Do keep it in mind, you wold be most welcome.. c
There were many times that I was all thumbs, for instance, I think I might have accidentally pulled up almost a whole row of baby kale during a weeding session.
Oh I don’t think so.. (she says rushing outside to check!!) .. phew.. no they are still there!! Got me that time.. c
Love the gloves – my kind of blue! And up to your elbows – they certainly ARE posh, almost like evening gloves of old!

OOOH ! Minty! Thank you, Celi. You’re very kind.
Those bees are just going to town with that honeycomb! How lovely.
Wow, look how Marcel has grown! Must say, your gloves are very posh C.
Have a beautiful day.
🙂 Mandy xo
Elbow length gloves! How elegant you are on the farmy!
Good morning, c. I think you should put 4 wheels on that box, and see where Marcel goes.
