The four kittens left are wilder than ever. As though the lightness of their numbers has lightened their thoughts.
I almost caught Godot in flight. We are getting closer to that perfect image. His wings are so glorious.
This is a very long away shot of Godot raising his tail. His unfinished tail. A promise.
Yesterday was so warm and so still I brought the tractor over and started cleaning out a corner of the barn. Where there are animals there is manure. 
The kunekune were out walking about. I lost Tane at one point and send TonTon out to find him. Not sure if he would be able to put the name to the new pig. But wonderfully Ton looked at Tima, kind of nodded and then raced off and found Tane in one of the vegetable gardens. He knows they have different names. And recognises them. Isn’t that amazing?
The dogs and I were working over at the West barn in the afternoon.
I decided to shift them to a new field, with this warm weather the grass is looking green again.
Ton and I had begun to walk around to the new fields when we heard a great dog scream and in a flash Boo had leapt back up into the truck. As a rule he leaps the top wire of the electric fence, soaring up and over with ease. But I guess he misstepped this time and the electric fence got its own back.
Boo stood in a silent fury,on the truck bed glaring back at the fence. The whole time Ton and I worked Boo sat. Refusing to budge lest the fence bite him again.
Poor BooBoo.
Of course The moment he hit the deck of the truck Ton brought me a stick. Boo hates to let Ton play. So Ton dropped the stick at my feet and sat. He won’t be back for a while, he smiled. He got a fright. Ton snorted.
Today, after I take Marmalade to the vet, TonTon and I will do the draw for the childrens picture book. I have a plan.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy,

The kittens are looking excellent. Our new kitten, Molly, has turned out to be a boy….changed from being very pretty to extremely handsome. Hope Boo’s undercarriage is recovering from the shock:)
I love the randomness of Godot’s tail! Very unique and beautiful!
Yesterday was wonderful and sunny here too, so I spent the day mucking out the goats’ section of the barn…… with a pitchfork, shovel and wheelbarrow! No wonder it took me hours! We lust after every tractor we see, and fantasize about owning one. They are just so expensive! We keep a lookout for used ones, but they are super hard to come by too! So we attack what should be tractor chores slowly and steadily, just like the tortoise in ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’. xo
no sun for us yet, it has been so long now that it hink it will never come back but the warmer temps are a gift..
What a handsome boy, our Godot. Goodness me. Love to the farmy!
TonTon is so well trained, will Boo learn from him?
I don’t think so. I trainn the seperately or Boo gets very dominant with Ton. This is why Boo is trained to sit on his chain and wait when necessary.. Boo has different strengths. c
Poor Boo, losing two of his ‘fosters’ and then an electric shock. I stay quiet if it happened to me. Ton is a treasure beyond gold and he will do a great job at drawing a winner for the book. You are sounding so much better today, onward and upward all the way to full health. Already I love Godot’s lacy tail. I warn you, I’ll be stealing a photo when you manage to capture it fully open sometime in the future. I have often wondered if a fully grown Peacock’s tail was heavy. Do you know, Celi?
When Kupa had a full tail and I collected all the feathers as he dropped them in late summer, the full sum of feathers was not so heavy. What I wonder is all the tiny muscles that must be needed to pick the tail up, spread it, then shake it all about (literally) .. we need a peacock anatomy course.. c
I think you have the weather that my mom has in Germany . She told me on the phone that it was warm enough for her to go outside for a little while. Lovely pictures of all the animals.
Good to hear your Mum is getting outside and pottering about.. c
Godot’s tail looks like fireworks. Those kittens are too much….maybe Nanny Boo should stay home with the kids 🙂
Boo’s reaction isn’t much different than our own would be! I’ve been bitten by electric fence myself and I have a bit of an attitude for a while! Godot is just beautiful in flight! I love your header shot… lichen is beautiful wherever it can be found!
Luckily for me I’ve never been zapped but I can imagine the pain. I hope Boo’s privates didn’t get the shock–so very sensitive. I’m sorry for him. No one so sweet should ever suffer such pain.
And TonTon! He is an amazing dog–like someone else said, we don’t give them any credit for the intelligence they so obviously have. It kills me really. (I have to brag a bit: my Border collie BJ was very smart!)
And Godot–I’m wondering if his display is like The Northern Lights.
Peacocks — hella fake.
Have a wonderful day, Miss C!

I wrote a comment and lost it. Today was rather tricky for me. My blog was hacked overnight, but thanks to my Toyboys, I am back in the land of the living again. Now what did I write…
Poor Boo, losing some of his foster kitties and then getting a shock. I’d certainly sit still if it were me. Celi you sound mush better in yourself today, may the improvements increase with each day! I love Godot’s tail feathers and have to tell you, I’ll be stealing a photo when it is fully grown. I often wonder if a Peacock’s tail is heavy when full grown. Do you know?
There’s a calm beauty in the wintriness of the photos today 🙂 At least Boo had the good sense to hop back on the truck where it was “safe”, away from bitey fences! And good on Ton for making the most of the opportunity, clever dog for that and his ability to find things.
Oh Boo! Know how you felt but was a lot more stupid!! Was on the phone in the Northern Rivers x number of years ago thrilled to bits by the call from a guy I was head-over-heels with. Huge thunderstorm above! So? Next thing light all over the room, a huge crash and no phone in my hand!! Disintegrated!!!! Methinks I thought the ‘thrill’ came from 800 kms down the road, ’cause I walked across the floor to PU the kitchen phone and carry on the rather steamy conversation 🙂 ! Did not have Boo’s very good common sense!! Friends could not believe I could be quite so silly!!! As far as the beautiful kitties go, I guess 1-2 are due to get their ‘marching orders’ soonest and the others to find living quarters perhaps do not consist of living room sideboards 😀 !! Fingers still crossed re your miseries . . .
Good Gof! What an experience.. an electridying relationship! c
Four years Milady, four years lucky 😀 !! Electrifying . . . but am I ever so careful now 🙂 !
