Don’t be fooled though. Manouchki has been observed sleeping with dogs and also with pigs. She and Tima appear to have an arrangement whereby Tima lies really still and Manouchki lies on her back kneading all the knots out of those little pig shoulders. True. I am stalking them today to try and get the shot. But it is almost impossible to sneak up on a pig.
Speaking of Tima she was banished back to her own quarters, and out of min,e yesterday afternoon for breaking a red bowl, sticking her head in the rubbish bin, then running off with a potato from the pantry. 
Do you see Godot’s tail growing? He is still a very shy bird, it is hard to get a decent shot of him. But he is growing.
The handsome hay-man came with his teddy today and tedded the hay. They should just call it a fluffer as it fluffs up the hay. But I guess tedder is better. The ground is very wet and rain is threatening to fall again on Saturday. So now my hay field looks like this, in the hopes that it will dry faster.
I will decide on Friday when to rake it.
Dinner. Do you like my new kitchen table? The Matriarch found it for me on a garage sale. I love it.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy,
miss c

What a nice old fashioned table. The hay man and his ‘teddy’ – I thought he must regress when he does the hay and have to clutch a bear. But I see my imagination ran away from me, and ‘teddy’ in the USA means something different. Fingers crossed for some fine days.
Oh, Tima!
What a mischievous little Tima. Similar to when a toddler does something “naughty” and you try not to laugh but can’t help yourself. Ha! I love the new kitchen table. Your kitchen is relaxing and cozy, even from all the way over here! 🙂
