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

I’m trying hard to learn the new names of everyone. It’s like learning a classroom of students names in a hurry. Everyone is cuter than the next.
To make it easier: Freya and Hazel are the Does who will stay on the farm. The boys Hans and Carl will go and live up on the ridge with their new owner – in a month or so
love these cute Kids!!! I think Miss Hazi is the cutest too! that’s a sweet picture of her!! looks like they’re having fun walking the plank ~ great addition to the farm! awww ~ little Miss Kitty! she’s all happy waving her tail thru the air to tip toe thru the sunshine! Are you taking a bunch of farm pictures for your program in Portland? have a great day Celi ~ supposed to be 80 here today!
Oh happy spring! 😀 Chloe says that the kids are too cute and loves the tail on the kitten (who is very quickly becoming a cat!). Brilliant. More farmy friends to love. X
Sheila’s going to burn her butt!
Spring is here! I see it in your photos!
My husband gave Squish a shovel, and I am going to buy him seeds. We may just have a garden this year. A six-year-old with a shovel and some determination can turn some earth.
You are greening up! I see sprigs of green here and there at your place. We are just starting to show some green here also!

A big fat does of wonderful cuteness today!! Love it 🙂
Dose…not does 😉
Maybe pumpkins for people dinners as well, or will that not translate onto local plates? (rhyme unintentional, I have not the talents of Viv!)
I LOVE roast pumpkin – translates for me!
Puffy ginger tail!!!! blah!
Hans the young gentleman, Freya the lady: perchance some matters are inborn 🙂 ! Carl Gustav so handsome: well, so was my paternal grandfather with exactly the same name [the only Estonian one] so guess whom I’ll follow 🙂 !
I love that your animals look so very content ! And I have absolutely no idea that cows enjoy eating pumpkins !!
When you feed pumpkins to milking cows the cream is Fantastic.. c
How about that !! ; o )
