I leave at lunchtime today. No, you are not coming Tima. Put those dogs down and behave yourself. 
So I will do a fast change after the lunchtime baby feeding and off we go.
You and I – to Portland Oregon. I have never been to that part of the country before so I am looking forward to seeing it. Naturally I will be blogging every day. We will see what we will see. At the very least it will be a bit warmer. But rainy evidently. My plane gets in at dusk there so hopefully there is still enough light for a few shots as we cross the country. It is a four and a half hour flight.
There is a list on the kitchen board for baby feeding. And Jake is back to run the weekend. The Dutchies are looking settled. 
Poppy is bonkers as usual. Sheila is already sulking in her room
and the chicks are being watched closely by Boo.
who are watching him closely back.
Tomorrow is the conference but there is a two hour difference between here and Oregon so I will be up super early. Plenty of time to bring you up to date from my lovely hotel room.
Good Morning. Thank you to all of you who have already signed up to listen in on the talk for Press Publish. Live streaming will be interesting. I have had to change a few of my photographs at the last minute but you have seen them all before so that won’t make much difference to you.
After this weekend we will settle down to some good solid farming and writing about it.
Have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farm and in a plane,

Ah, an umbrella! No, you will not need one! The weather is supposed to be beautiful in Portland this week-end! Because I said so!! See you soon!
Managed to open my own account and anxious to hear your speech. I think I should tune in at 3:45 p.m. tomorrow. Hope that’s right.
Yes 3.45, tomorrow. I am first up after lunch and will be speaking for 30 minutes.. so maybe tune in a little ahead just to be sure.. can’t wait.
Have a wonderful time Celi .. You will be terrific! Hugs
Boo seems rather too interested. Have fun – we’ll be cheering for you.
I am sure you are well on the way now, safe journey and have a ball! I will crack open a bottle tomorrow night as I listen to my own personal after dinner speaker! You wow them, girl>
Safe flight and good luck in Portland (not that you’ll need it); you will knock their socks off. I shall be listening in.
Twenty-one hours and I hope to hear your voice from Australia! All of us in the Down Under contingent surely hope to! And Madam: I’ll get up very early on a Sunday morning just to clap and clap and clap!!!
These kitties are royal 😀 Love them.
All the best friend, very nice pictures
I’m behind on my reading again so you’re probably back by now. I hope you had a great time in Portland and got some great things to eat.
I’m behind, too. I also hope video turns up somewhere for those of us who missed you!
