We have a lovely little glass house attached to the South Side of the house.
It is designed to warm that side of the house as well as growing the greens and herbs for the winter. But where is the light? Where has the sun gone? It feels to me like we have had less sun than usual this year. Do you think?
Yesterday (as you know) started with a good solid rain, that soon turned into snow, then spitting ice, then alternated snow and rain and spitting ice blown by a good strong wind.
And no sun. 
So I worked in the barn, (I should have been working in the house but you know how it is – I will work in the house when it is too cold to work in the barn). Yesterday I shifted some bales of hay and straw, opening up the middle pen, joining it with Sheila’s bedroom, so now she and Poppy can just zip down a wee corridor pen and hang out in the central area where there is more light and hopefully today, sun. This area is usually reserved for sheep and their lambs, but no lambs this year.
The pigs still have access to the field, of course, where the last of the pumpkins are thrown for their breakfast each day. Between the pigs and the calves Across the Way we have managed to dispose of an impressive number of pumpkins.
Tima and Tane.
Not a pretty sight really, but it always make me laugh when they run inside and jam their noses through the gate hoping for a hand out.
Boo and Marmalade are job sharing.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
I think there is sun forecast for today, so I have high hopes.

I do hope the sun comes out for you today. As I have gotten older, I seem to be more solar powered and after a couple of days without the sun, I really notice it.
Tanes teeth just crack me up!
Boo and his sweet little buffed colored kittens, & Marmy Jr. lovely photos as always.
I think I could handle the cold and dark if the wind would let up. Try & stay warm.

Toss up here on cuteness factor today – Boo and Kitties or the two Kune noses 🙂 Hoping the sun comes out and the wind goes elsewhere today. Laura
I feel really guilty, when I look at your beautiful guineas: we just got home after a bistrot lunch and it was pintade au cidre (guinea fowl in cider) – delicious.
Sorry you’ve no sun – neither have we this week – it’s very dreary and wet.
Love,

Another haiga here http://vivinfrance.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/tima-and-tane-haiga/
here comes the ti…me of thick woolly jumpers, thick woolly socks, warm knickers( not woolly) do not know wher the sun has got to but it’s not in my part of the world……Come on ,,own up! Who has the sun.?
Lovely pictures of Boo and Marmie and those kitties are so cute, what a wonderful pair of carers they make.
Tima and Tane look so sweet peeping through the fence, I do hope that they got a good reward for being so cute.
Elsie is looking fine and seems to have settled well.
Ok Miss C have a lovely day, keep warm…I send some hugs to help youthaw out!
I do! In Australia…..40* celsius of it some days…..you’re welcome to a little of it 🙂
Yes please, parcel it up and send it to Bulgaria xx
Job sharing…that’s very funny and they seem to be cooperating! Tane is really growing as his nose is now level with Tima…little underbited Tane, very cute. Elsie is a beautiful cow. Hope for sun for you today. It does make all the difference, doesn’t it. I am shopping today for food stuffs for the biggest food day of the year, healthier sides this year, but I have been told that I must make my stuffing…it is mandatory and not up for discussion. A compliment in there somewhere. 🙂 Have a wonderful day…pets, belly rubs and kisses for all the critters.
Checking in from dreariness here as well. I do a bit better with light, have to admit. Elsie looks lovely…as if she’s wearing a diaper. A very fashionable diaper. Dear girl.
Fingers crossed it comes back. It’s light grey here with lots of rain forecast 😉
Love the tima/tane snouts! regular snuffleupaguses! (not sure of the spelling on that) or Snuffies.
Boo has such soft, sweet eyes! So glad he is helping Marmalade with her fiesty brood……but of course we knew he would…he couldn’t resist 🙂
No sun in Minnesota either, so I can’t send it south and east.
Gearing up for a snow storm here, after a day that hit 70 yesterday! Had the windows open and the back door, which the dogs loved, but will have to batten down the hatches today. I am sure we wont get hit too bad as the mountains tend to keep bad weather further to our west.
Love the photo’s today, especially the kitties with Mum and Nan!
No sun here either. 😦 And non for probably the whole week. Oh well, that’s winter here on the Wet Coast. I thought that photo of the little piggy noses is the best, I loved seeing them like that, and those little teeth! But then I saw beautiful Elsie and now I can’t decide. 🙂 Mind you, Boo and the kittens are terminally cute. Looking forward to more Boo-kitten interface as they grow a little bigger.
I hope you get some sun! We don’t have any today–just lots of rain–but we’ve actually had more than usual. A lot more. And warmer temperatures, too. Weird.
No sun here either! Very dull and grey. I also love those teeth on tane soo funny 😃 X
