Sheila was napping in the newly filled wallow. I was afraid she might drown.
So I gave her a brick and she wedged her head in behind it and went fast asleep. Not Poppy though. Poppy is never still for long.
Our opportunist hay cutting gave us 41 bales of perfect hay. How many is that now? I have lost count. It is already loaded into the barn. Thank goodness for the Clatter Box. Winching hay up one by one was torturous, the little hay escalator is one of my favourite things in the summer.
Daisy’s cow bells. Only being rung once a day now. We are settling into our once a day routine.

My neighbour came to visit and brought treats for the animals. 
And at last the tomatoes are starting to ripen. Big beautiful red tomatoes. Soon I will begin to make the sauce. 
Tima loves to sleep with Boo. Boo loves to sleep.
I hope you have a lovely day.

Sheila’s block pillow. She needs a pebble filled adjustable pillow for her wallows….too funny. I’m laughing at the thought of it. Glad the tomatoes are ripening finally. In deep south Texas where I am at the moment, it is hot, hot, hot, and humid.
Sheila just looks so tuckered out, yet peaceful lying down there.
There’s nothing quite like freshly baled hay. Oh, the scent, the visual loveliness of it all. Well done, C.
Doughnuts for animals….the human kind eh Miss C…..
mud for the piggies and sleep for Tima and Boo….hay all done and Daisy sorted.
well done Miss C….no…VERY well done
I made my first salsa and sauce last weekend. Probably not on the same scale as you! Also have some gazpacho and fresh pico de gallo made up. I have plenty eggplants and peppers too. I have pickled some hot peppers, put some in the salsa, and will make hot pepper jam. Any ideas on eggplants? everything I have read says not to can them. So far I have made roasted eggplant parmesan and frozen it and then sliced, roasted and frozen the slices. Will see how the latter works out.
Very happy looking pigs in that wallow. I saw the pic of Boo Nanny and Tima on FB. Just adorable and makes me smile every time I see it. 🙂 Well done on getting that hay baled and put away. Maybe you’ll have enough of your own for the winter, I hope.
Oh, I just love your hippo-pig. She looks in her seventh heaven 🙂 Talking of strange hybrids, I own a cow-dog that’s addicted to grazing on couch grass, as well as posh ornamental grass!
Love the photo of the kitty! We had lots of rain …it was so slick out there Terry fell into ditch!

I love that you took action when you thought Sheila might drown in her wallow! It does look plenty deep. Must have been the big rain from last evening. We sure needed it. Oh and I forgot the kitten named Egole! I’m always thinking about Marmalade. They’re similar color.

Mmmmm junk food for Sheila? A sweet treat once in a while is good for the soul.
After looking at the last image, I am at peace.
something about Tina and Boo asleep like collapsed bellows fills me with warmth; a relaxer indeed; great photos! adore your animals
Hard to have favorites amongst the Farmy Cast, they are all amazing, but the cats always warm my heart, so love the pic of Egoli looking so regal 🙂
