News!

Our new Dutch Belted Mama Cow is on her way.  She is coming today! She is still tucked up in her truck travelling across Illinois so while we are waiting we will  have to amuse ourseves with cute kittie shots. They are awake a little longer each day now and have started to play.

Another smiling animal. They kind of push at each other then fall over backwards. They play as though they are in a gravity free zone. Pushing and falling at the same time. Marmalade is using a different voice when she is in with them, she is using a reproving tone as they swarm and tussle around the box.

I heard her calling to them to ‘settle down for goodness sake and just go to sleep’ and went into her room, she looked up at me and gave me such a beseeching look . Marmalade is an exceptional mother.

TonTon has taken over minding Tane. Tima has gotton louder and more demanding since he came. She does not to share.

The Clatter Box is a kind of highway in the barn, going up from ground level to the loft, the chickens and cats are often seen passing each other as they go up or down. Pushing pasteach other as neither will give up their track.

Now where is my cow?

I think I might go down and wait by the letter box.

Your friend on the farmy,

Oh and I meant to tell you. My experiment with crowd funding was a wild succcess and we have sold all 50 of Sheila’s T Shirts.  There are still four days left and you can still purchase one but now that we have reached our goal the T Shirts will definitely be printed and Sheila’s account will be receiving a cheque soon after that. Isn’t that grand.
