“Come on, TonTon – Wanna calf kiss?.. I can give you a special slobbery one – Aunty said you would like one! She said to come play with you. She is tired.”
TonTon is deeply unimpressed. Aunty Del giggles with her eyes closed. 
“Hmm … the world is a very flat place from down here..
Yep, pretty flat from up here too.”
“Be careful, remember what I said about using your claws. Don’t fall on that pig. And remember about not using claws when standing on pigs, if you do fall on a pig. Watch out for that cow. Oh mercy! Stand still when I am talking to you.!” Marmalade is beginning to shriek.
“Not my brother!”
“Not my brother either”, says Poppy, keeping an eye out for falling cats.
Poppy is showing absolutely no signs of pregnancy at all. However neither is she showing signs of NOT being pregnant. Is that a glass half full or half empty?
Unlike someone else we know who is showing no signs of even moving, she is growing so wide. 
Unless there is food about of course. Then she gets her fat arse into gear and trots along at speed.
Here are the paw paw flowers for you. They must be very sweet. The flies like them.
Charred asparagus, crunchy on the outside green and juicy in the center. We had it in an asparagus risotto for dinner last night. Life is a joyous thing. Don’t you just love it!
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Come on – Give us a Kiss!
Love your friend on the farm

Perhaps Sheila tipped Poppy off about the joys of celibacy 😉
When I’ve stopped laughing, you shall have your kiss.
love,

dee-licious… all of ’em … especially spunky Marmalade.. what a climber
Half full! *mutters to self, ‘don’t let me down Poppy’*
Tane is a good Kiwi lad, eh? Just got on with it. He is still my farmy fave. No fanfares for that boy.
Naomi looks like she wants to wash Ton’s ear out for him!
Surely Marmalade knows that it is hard to herd cats, almost impossible actually. Points for her for trying tho. So exciting about the pigs even if it is a waiting game. Still, Poppy not banging about and knocking down gates surely must be a sign, so I vote glass half full. Great shots of the climbing cat, reminds me of that poster that says “hang in there, baby”. The asparagus looks delicious. I love asparagus. Seems like everything is going well on the farmy and that is a good thing. Have a wonderful day.
MWAH! ❤ 🙂
XXXXX. There you go, several. That should hold you for a bit. What kind of mum is Tima going to be, do you reckon? I think the mini-kunes are going to be taught all kinds of naughty tricks by the Tomato Thief. I have visions of her leading them up the steps and into the house, where they will lay waste your kitchen and terrorise the humans… Naughtiness personified, with an air of spurious innocence, just like their mum.
Lets go with glass half full 🙂 The pictures of the climbing cat are wonderful …. so much more interesting to climb a fence (that they could probably walk through) than curtains and furniture like in the city: xxxx for everyone on the farmy today. Laura
Hey, we’re having asparagus at the same time you are 🙂 The glass is always full of something.
OH, hang in there baby!!!! Old 70’s ad had a cat hanging like that. Very cute images today….. The asparagus looks divine. I love fresh aspargus -> I just toss it in good creamy butter, salt and lemon for a very few seconds. I could eat it every day!
Love that picture of Marmalade hanging mid air. Looks just like my Milo, bless his soul; I miss him. No cats now, so I shall live vicariously through yours.
Speaking pig is the only reasonable answer to the pregnancy queries Miss C. Sit them down, ask the girls and listen carefully to their replies. Perhaps, as first time moms they are as confused about their supposed conditions as everyone else.
My neighbor has paw paws and raises bees, and he still has to hand-pollinate if he wants any fruit. Do you get fruit from yours?
Oh this si the first year they have flowered, i better get out with my paint brush if that is the case, no bees, but lots of insects creeping in and out..
Yes…life is a joyous thing!! Love the pictures as always!!
