“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

That series of images of Marmalade is fabulous. As she climbed, I worried about that barbed wire.
I love the photo of a hanging Marmalade and the rest of the crew. How to you carry your camera around when you work ?
In the crook of my arm..though often i place it on top of a fence post, or somewhere weird and have to back track half the day to find it again..
LOVE the Marmalade shot with the fence and the tail. Brent REALLY wants a ginger barn cat. We’ll keep searching…. I told him about Marmalade and little baby Marmalades.
Is that not one of Marmalade’s kittens learning to climb? I figured the instructions were coming from ground level. I hope Tima is taking note of how to be a dutiful mother! Virtual kisses winging their way over the pont to you Celi> XxXxXxX.
Yup, that is the boy kitten.. The Cadet named him but it has slipped my mind presently.. c
Calf and cow kisses are Terribly slobbery!

So they are, that is why Ton wants None of IT!
🙂
That Ton keeps his cool no matter what. And Marmalade is unbelievable! She’s really a beautiful cat–so furry! I too worried about barbed wire hurting her paws.
That was Marmalade’s baby boy.. I should have made that clearer for you- Marmalade just climbs straight up the pole.. funny having so many who are so alike!
I tend to get myself moving when there’s food around, too.
Maybe Poppy is auditioning for the show “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” and will surprise you at the end?
Now there’s a winner of the King of the Mountain game.
Oh I am in love with the pics of Marmalade – precious kitty. I would have love your risotto!
Have a beautiful love filled happy farmy day C.

I could kiss them all. And you for posting such wonderful photos. Not sure about the asparagus though. Will have to give that some thought.:)
smoooooch from the 3 of us! My sweetheart, me and our wonderous Korat Cat Lucy! Here’s a link from a few years ago photo of LUcy! http://katheworsley.blogspot.com/2012/12/its-bird-its-plane-nope.html
Gorgeous pictures. It broke my heart to hear that it was a couple 8le of kunekunes caught up in a local neglect case; they’re so lovely. 😦
Oh no, I hope someone nice rescues them.. c
Me too. I know the RSPCA was involved but I know nothing else. So sad. Thank you for making your lil piggies such happy lil piggies! Love and food make a difference to everyone, don’t they?! 🙂
As my Sissy Jo would say… “It doesn’t matter if the glass is half empty or half full. There is clearly room for more wine.” I love your photographs… and that is the first time I’ve ever seen Paw Paw blossoms. Lovely!!
I like Sissy Jo.. c
Those photos are hilarious!
Now I wonder who the puss climbing the leafless tree attempting to snare that wily bird a few days ago was: Marmalade or her adventurous son? Not that it matters: it is one of the best computer backdrops I have as yet pinched off you 😀 !!
