Where has the sun gone?

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.
