Nanette (my memory) made sure that I made our month in pictures for July. So here are my highlights and lowlights. I can’t believe how much we got through last month.
These cute little chicks
turned into these
and they have two more weeks to go.. yikes
Poppy and her Aunty Sheila just laid about enjoying this wonderful cool July. 
The rake broke (and was fixed again) and we still got the hay in.
And it was cut again yesterday. The calves continued to grow. I was told yesterday that this little guy is worth 2.30 a pound. Almost a thousand dollars offered for him. Naturally I said no.
Our Mama died surrounded by her girls. I miss Mama. But it was her time.
Marmalade got naughtier.
The Plonkers went to the abbatoir. 
Tima and Boo slept some more. Yesterday a man came to see Tima and after a search we found her with her head in a bag of chook food so once again she is on the diet chain and I have to talk to my people about returning the bags to the locked up feed area. That pig is Such a PIG!
The red rangers went to the freezers. Though they were a little small. Next year I will grow them for longer. 
We began to make the essential oils for the soap making.
Daisy had her unfortunate accident. Standing on her teat. Nasty. Nasty injury. It is healing. Slowly. We are going forwards more often that backwards now. Hopefully I can save the quarter so she can be a nurse cow next year. 
Aunty Del gets more beautiful every day. 
Wine and honey mead bottled.
Now that the plonkers are gone we have more milk for butter and cheese.
Skunk Dog.
Skunk pig. My favourite shot of Poppy so far.. this one is going in the Christmas Calendar. 
The rooster wars slowed down.
Old Dog slowed down too but still manages to keep up.
I hope you all have a lovely day. There was so much that happened last month that I did not capture. I wonder what will happen now! Now that it is August.

Apart from Mama and Daisy I would declare this a productive and satisfying month. I do hope that the hay field with the rake will make the calendar too! May August only be onward and upward for you and the Farmy. Laura
Great month of photos -many thanks.
What a month! August is going to bring GOOD things–no more sadness!!! I declare it! 🙂
An exciting/worrying/happy/sad month, I suppose the norm for the farmy. Those red rangers: what breed are they? They look like Rhode Island Reds, which we used to cross with Light Sussex, making brilliant layers. But yours are for the freezer, so I guess I’ve got it wrong.
Celi, I read all your posts. They’re my morning ritual- coffee and Celi”s Farmy, but I like your month in review the best. It reminds me how attached I’ve grown to all the creatures on your farm. Even the plonkers (I had to look up abbatoir, but such is life on the farm, right?), and the frozen roosters. That wine-honey mead looks wonderful, and give all the pigs a pat for me, I think they’re my favorites. Much love and luck.
So much done and so many happenings.some good some bad ug all part of life, s pattern
how about a picture of Birgit
Gosh, what a lovely look back. 😀 I must confess that I went back over my old photos yesterday as well. So much has been happening and only a limited amount of web space to talk about it. But I do love coming over every day to catch up with you and so miss the occasional day when I can’t, (or you can’t). Hope your day is lovely and warm with all wonderful happenings in it.
You’re so right; Aunt Del is a beauty.

Photos help keep great memories.
Thank you Jon.. have a wonderful day.. c
I still love that red ranger image. The light, the perspective, the content…
Beautiful all. Today, my favorite is the one of Sheila and Poppy. Poppy looks so happy with her nose up in the warm air, sunning herself with a smile while Sheila is zonked out beside her. The green, green grass. The other Poppy picture makes her look sly which she is definitely is as well!
Good morning to the farmy, two legged and four legged creatures one and all.
Wonderful pictures. They capture the essence. Have a lovely weekend C!
I often wonder how you would cope on a day with nothing to do? Each season has a reason and I wish you a good one for august!
Lovely pictures, Celi, touching one of Mama, especially. And I love the previous ones of the sheep asleep, was that Marcel on the roof? : )
Yes that was our marcel.. he is getting to be a big sheep!.. c
These photos have made my day even better…lovely and wonderful “family” Cecilia.
