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,

Our old Griffon slipped into a cow pasture while on a walk. I called him back and he came through the water-filled ditched and touched the hot wire. Ever after when there were cows in that pasture as we walked by he growled at them. Guess he thought it was their fault!
I wanted to let you know that there is an online company called Zazzle that will let you upload your images to various items they have in stock. Then they will produce them on demand and they handle all the payments and shipping for you, for a fee, of course. I know other bloggers use it. It might be a way for the farm animals to earn some income without quite so much legwork from you. Zazzle.com, check it out. Glad to hear you’re feeling better.
Yes, i need to look at them again.. There is a lot of time in the packing and shipping! Thank you darling.. c
Ton never ceases to amaze me. As close as Tima and Tane are now, Ton probably knew right away who was missing. I wonder if he raised the fence when no one was looking. 😉 Nah. He wouldn’t do that.
Ouch! Poor Boo! Glad to read that the 2 kittens found such a nice home where they’ll be well cared for. This warm weather was such a treat, even if a bit wet. A forecaster said we were 24˚ warmer than one year ago and no snow. That’s fine with me. The longer that snow blower stays in the garage, the better. 🙂
Boo’s going to be figuring on that a while. (I can just see Ton Ton wagging his head over it)
We had an electric fence wire at the top of a tall fence when we had 2 large bouviers at the other house. One could easily clear it if he cared, but never showed any desire. The other was a rescue and not quite mentally tethered/recognizing a good home when he saw it yet.) “Raggs” thought about exploring fence leaping possibilities once ( it was on very low). He never forgot and would go stand in that spot and bark at the fence….he’d stop if current was turned off, but turn it on again, and he’d stand there and bark – heard something we didn’t.
Boo will decide something about that biting spot
Such a cute kitty pix that second one – Godot is quite a show all in himself ( and now you have me wondering about those tiny tail muscles…)
Sun for everyone! Merry. Merry we go
Glorious photos Celi! Give Boo a pat from me 🙂
will do!! c
