Sun Gods

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
