Mr Flowers – the long awaited display.

And all is right with the world.  Just for that moment of yesterday afternoon in this corner of the world.

Both my guest worker and The Cadet spent a considerable amount of time yesterday standing in the loft looking across at Mr Flowers. Open mouthed. This display lasted more than an hour. man gardening

Then they both went back to their respective tasks. Help has arrived.

The Cadet had endured such a hard day at school that she literally lay down and went to sleep in the straw cuddled in with the calf, Naomi. I can think of no better place to recover, so let her sleep.

I hope you have a lovely day.

  1. What a gorgeous fella Mr. Flowers is! Cadet’s experience reminded me of my childhood. The best way to recover from a bad day of school was to come home and cuddle with our wire fox terrier. Hope Cadet has a better day today.

  2. SO beautiful! There was a peacock at the Inn we stayed at this weekend. His hens were locked up in the hen house nesting some eggs…. They are hoping to have babies in a few weeks time. In honor of Mr Pea (that is his name) -> we went to the James Avery corporate office and store on Saturday. In his honor – because they have a 60th anniversary piece engraved with a PEACOCK!!! And Mr Avery himself talked me into purchasing it…. He told me the story of how he designed the piece and it was sold during his first year in business. It is a very lovely piece of silver that I will cherish forever.

    I would nap with Naomi in a heartbeat. The cadet is going to really help you with keeping that calf happy around humans, which is a very good thing for a dairy cow! Now if Lady A would just do the same.

  3. Thank you Mr Flowers, my most favourite colours in your tail. I looks so delicate, yet so strong. May your displays lead to a fruitful future! Oh the comfort in that photo of Naomi and the Cadet. It made me relax the minute I saw it.

    • The males display their tail feathers to attract the females.. The fact that he had it up for most of the hour of have no idea, maybe they were ignoring them.. he has had it up and down all day today too.. Love is in the air.. c

  4. I can just imagine our Cadet sighing into the hay. My daughter is planning a move to Nebraska, and I am crossing my fingers that she finds a farmy to embrace her, too.

  5. Mr. Flowers is so handsome I just had to post his pics on my facebook page for all my friends to enjoy! He is a truly handsome “Dude”…….Lady Peahens, beware …..LOL!

  6. Wow, Mr Flowers’ display is stunning. Exquisite colours. The interaction between humans and the Farmy cast is heartwarming, Mr Flowers appeared unfazed by the attention, Ton happy with new company and The Cadet & Naomi happy with each others’. Happy sigh! All that was right then and there has now been felt across the globe 🙂
