It was warm and sunny most of yesterday and even though there was a little breeze we all crawled out, shedding layers and lay about, played or worked in the sun.
Actually the humans worked and the animals lay about and played. But plenty got done. I shifted Kims Hen house again. Do you remember when I told you that Dad said to my Mum (who collected large rocks – really large rocks) that he would place a rock (read boulder) for her Once and the rePlace it for her Once. After that she was on her own. Well I guess Our John has the same rule. But me and the tractor and my muscles made it. 
On the left of the hen house you can see a pile of composted straw. I will stuff soil into the gaps and plant pumpkin seeds. Pumpkins love growing in compost. And there is a lot of waste water from The Milking 0ften with a little milk in it from rinsing the buckets. So this year that water will be poured onto new barn gardens to grow food for the animals. Cows love pumpkins.
Layabouts.
More layabouts. I told Sheila that laying in the sun will cause premature aging. That pig never listens.
Carl Gustav. This goat is such a Goat. If I were to draw a goat it would be this fella.
As you can imagine the cats were first to find the best sleeping possies.
I gave the Kids a plank to walk on. Freya decided it needed some cleaning. I guess it is a goat thing.
Hans very sweetly did not stand on Freya’s head just because he could.
Hazel’s ears are bigger than the others. This is normal for the La Mancha breed. You can have little ears and littler ears. Both are good. She is such a sweet girl.
I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday. And I also hope you have a lovely day today!
Much love, your friend on the farm

The absence of snow in your photos is beautiful! What sweet kids you have – all of them!
I see spots of green too, I know the cold will be back but I think that we are on our way to spring! c
Baby goats! Too cute! All that sunshine there…….and warmth, everyone must be loving it. Hard not to become absolutely mesmerized with those goat toddlers!
I’ve never seen such a big fat bottlebrush tail on a cat!
your posts always make my day good, even if it started out wrong…..Thank you for the lovely pictures
It’s so nice to see them all enjoying themselves outside after all the cold and snow 🙂
You are having fun photographing the goaties. I am having fun looking at the goties. The markings on Carl Gustav’s back are wonderful. Little spots of white. Pairs of pigs laying about, enjoying the sun. Soon, it will be warm enough to have mud pies and mud baths for Sheila and Poppy! Great idea about the pumpkins. Tima will have to be told not to eat the leaves. 🙂 Have a good day!
The goats are adorable. What is it about goats? I just love them. Everyone looks so happy to be in the sunshine with no snow laying about. I think we are all relishing that at the moment . Fingers crossed no more snow.
Hazel has the cutest ears! Ours have the tiniest ears, close to their heads. Everyone looks so fat and sassy there on the farmy in the glorious sunshine!!! xo
Can I tell you a secret…I have to admit that I am rather partial to Hazel with the ears above all else. Goats and droopy ears are magical. Freya is lovely, but Hazel is decidedly going to be my favorite when it comes to my shallow judgement regarding appearance.
Love that shallow judgement!! She is beautiful.. c
Spring is arriving and you have kids. The girls and I have wanted to come back out to the farmy for quite some time and now we REALLY want to come out. Your little farmy is growing.
Send me an email Deb and lets make a plan! They won’t stay this little for long! But we need warmth.. a nice warm day.. c
I’m with Deb, Hazel it is, the others weird me out a bit, they look unfinished somehow. Lovely to see all the Piggies soaking up the rays again. Laura
We are lucky to have her then! c
Gorgeous goats
all get my vote,
Pumpkins for pigs
and cows
May they be good and big!
to make us wow!
Sorry, I’m feeling silly today.
On Countryfile last night (BBC TV) they were herding a large number of Galloway Belteds up on to snowy moors in Cumbria. We were told how tough they are – not turning a hair in the face of a blizzard, while the two presenters were shivering in their puffa jackets, hats and scarves.
love, ViV
I love it when you feel silly Viv! c
There is nothing better than having fun in the sun after a long winter. Sheila and all the others are getting their much needed vitamin D.☀️
Lovely photos. There’s a definite feeling of spring about them. The kids look adorable. And I do like the ‘layabouts’ enjoying the sun – quite right too.
It looks like a pet day after all the winter hardship. I want to wander, then find a sunny spot to sit and listen to all the tales the animals tell!
