Do you want to know how tall Sheila my beautiful big fat pig is? Molly got to have Camera House yesterday afternoon. I am almost 5’8″, and Sheila comes up past my hip. 
That tall.
Below is Boo – Feigning tiredness to get more attention.
Watched carefully by the dis-approving masses – as you can imagine.
Though they got their fair share of the attention.
We thought we would let the peacocks out for a walk yesterday, which was all very well –
Until Mr Flowers flew up into the tree.
Then decided to spend the night up there – screeching about every 15 minutes.
The girls are going to visit Chicago today so Federico and I will try and get him back into the Peacock Palace. We have a new girl coming today too – although a woofer she lives not too far from here so is hoping to come down for day trips which might be really convenient – the animals and I will meet her today to talk about this.
Pania did not join the peacock walk as she was busy sitting on her eggs. Interesting.
I was Kitchen Mama yesterday and the girls were Miss C. They had a great time too. And everyone got feed, water and cuddles.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love your friend on the farm,

Dear Celi, I am the eldest of five children. (I just turned 70, so perhaps “children” is a bit of a misnomer.) We were city kids. Every summer we would visit an aunt and uncle who lived on a farm and unwisely named all the animals. One day my little sister Robin came into the dining room and asked, “Well, who are we eating tonight?” Love,Gayle in sunny Sacramento, California
This made me laugh. My sister was given a lamb to look after, it was one of triplets and the mother abandoned it. Her little girls called it Happy (after Pharrell’s song!), but it was a ram and as it grew bigger it started butting them and then they grew terrified of it. One day my 4-year-old niece told me quite matter-of-factly, ‘We had Happy the lamb for tea tonight!’
Too funny!! c
Lovely pics Celi .. Sheila sure is a big girl 😊 so nice to see you!
I am also 5’8 without the Kiwi hair. I’m so happy to see the Farmy being shared like this, and lovely to see YOU!
Mr F looks like King of the Castle 🙂 Lovely to see you in situ, and with your tall fat pig!
I don’t believe it: singlet tops and shorts . . . it is warm in central Illinois!!! So glad you all are defrosting 🙂 ! And please do pass the Camera House onto others more often . . . just loved the photos of Miss C, especially Miss C interacting with the four-leggeds. Did not realize I was sharing the Comments Lounge with a row of tall chorus girls – am 164 cms, which if I can still remember back to the 1960s equals about 5 foot 4 inches . . . gave me a chance to wear high, high, high heels and still be shorter than husbands dear 😀 !!
When I wear my heels I tower over my husbands – never mind!! ..c
Remember Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Kennedy? About a foot difference, if I remember 🙂 !!
How good to see you out from behind the camera. And Sheila! Ton is so attentive. Mr. Flowers truly thinks he’s King of the Farmy way up there! I hope you were able to get him down.
That is one big pig. If she were any taller you could ride her…though I’m sure that would be undignified for both of you! Love your hair!
