Get a ha’y cut

That is probably the lamest title I have ever written but you will remember that the rule on titles is to write down the first thing that comes to my mind and there you are. We got the hay cut ..

and then this morning we had a thunder-storm but no rain with it
man splitting wood

although we do not talk about the F word or the W word, we are always preparing for it… so the firewood splitting has begun..

.. i do not have the energy for capitals this morning..
piglet

.. it is now almost impossible to get a decent shot of the piglets as they run for me in a clamour every time i appear.. they especially love my boots – tasty!

I hope you have a lovely day. We are moving up to warp speed for the next three days, we have Josh coming this evening (he is going to take over the gardens I hope as they are sorely neglected)and we have four Day Girls (as opposed to borders) coming for the next two days after that. And a farm is a dangerous place for children so we are going to have to be very careful.

Lots of love

Have a lovely day

your friend on the farm

  2. I love it when you have helpers. Warp speed on your own isn’t a good thing but with many hands… and a nice dinner from Kitchen Mama it’s doable. And F and W are also doable with sufficient prep. I’ll probably wander around all morning now mumbling “get a ha’y cut” and laughing 🙂

  3. Oh and I meant to add, our woodshed is full to the brim and there’s almost enough stacked drying outside to take us through next W. On top of that we have almost enough hay in the barn for the next year. Yep, all’s right with my world!
