Do you remember the year I spent taking a picture of the Daily View? Every day.
Here it is again. A lot has changed since that year. I need to go back and see what year that was. But it is getting late and I have already spent to much time making my To Do list this morning. As you can imagine Lots to Do.
So much has grown since the year of the Daily View too. I am into the fifth year of blogging now. (Four years in July) The Fellowship of the Farmy has grown to 4,812. I have created 1,491 Posts in that time. You have created 90,625 comments. We have had 1,271,101 visits. And (once again let me remind you) I have NEVER been Freshly Pressed. We did this all on our own you and I.
Not bad for the wee Farmy and her Fellowship.
Blogging every day (except for the odd day off) has become part of my fabric. You have become part of my landscape.
Maybe I will reinstate the Daily View and the Daily Temperatures. At one time I even posted at dawn every day. Have I become lazy or just more organic. And delightfully things are slowing down enough that I can think about these things again.
The other thing I have more time for now is hanging out in the Lounge of Comments with you all. I love the comments lounge. I read every single comment and now I will have time to answer you all again. I almost always go visiting From the comments lounge, to see what you are doing too, so if you create a blog page you would like to share leave a short comment here or on my FaceBook page (see below). This summer was so busy I lost touch with much of what has been happening. We need to bring me up to date again!
GET TO WORK CECILIA! NO more sitting around chatting!
Love, love

Love your pictures and life there on the farm. Oh, and I can’t forget my first love – the beautiful Sheila. She was my first piggy crush and will *always* have a place in my heart. XOXO – Bacon
She does that to a fella! Our beautiful Sheila.. c
It’s so much fun to interact with others around the world. Great photos! Your land is beautiful.
It is! We are such an international fellowship. c
Okay, am I seeing a plonker with an intact cajone (pronounced kauhonee)? Is that one that missed the knife? ha Time chugging along, Tane sniffing the air. They all look great. Have a good day on the Farmy.
Yes. It hid. So now he is going to be my experiment with Boar Taint. It is not as prevalent as one would imagine.. and not in all kinds of pigs so we will see.. c
I remember the daily view as well, and as dianeandjack said that awful storm that hit you and changed your tree for ever. But as always things keep moving and changing.
That was a lovely tree house – such a pity we lost it.
Temperatures! Yes, I love weather. (here: rain, 15C) >
We are 18 as I write – a lovely evening. c
Isn’t it funny how we feel “left out” if there’s no time to read other blogs? A bit like being out sick and missing all the school chatter when little)
We’re expecting a unusually cold wet winter which means plants will suffer. Looks like Mother Nature has decided to redecorate.
Daily view is always fun. Enjoy the day!
Wet and cold – that does not sound like fun at all !!
That last line got a good chuckle this morning. Thank you.
Ha ha – I had to zoom back up and see what i wrote! c
I am not a farmer in real life–but that is always a dream and you make that dream come true everyday for me–
I started a quilting blog and one day a couple years or so ago found your blog and now I do read it first every day–
so thanks for taking time from your wonderful farm to write a daily post and let us who are not able to be farmers–
still do some farming every day!

Ps I do more photography now than I do quilting I think- so I do share that with you–
I would love to be able to quilt though – maybe one day! c
I always enjoy your pictures !! It is so fun to see how you live on your farm , something I have never done, a different world from mine !!
Thank goodness we are all different! Makes life interesting.. c
I do remember the Daily View! Yesterday I visited .”The Cast”. It would be wonderful if you would put the new arrivals ‘ portrait on there. I think it would be such a fun album of EVERYBODY who’s ever been on the farmy. Nostalgic too, of course. Like I wouldn’t mind seeing the goats again. Mr. and Mrs. Flowers, etc. I know it’s a lot to ask!
Winter is coming – soon i will be doing that and the calendars and the picture books for kids and the book.. there will be time! c
I just saw the two goats yesterday they are FAT and happy! c
I”m so happy the goats are doing well! I think of them and you every day as I milk! Goats do need lots of attention though, and would prefer to be following you around and hanging out on your porch. But they do get into mischief if not watched carefully, as seen when ours broke out of their enclosure recently and ate our newly planted apple tree! 😦 But they bring such pleasure too! 🙂
Celi, could you tell me a bit about the calendars’s background? Do you sell them on your markets? Or give them to shops for advertising? Or do you make them just for fun and family and friends?
Just for fun, family, friends and the fellowship..
Changes….I know that one! I came home from Phoenix to beautiful fall weather and woke up to winter?
Maybe it will change bacK?
I love popping over each morning with a coffee to see what’s happening on the Farmy, with you and the Commenters Lounge. Things evolve… organic works 🙂
Yes! A smooth organic movement up and down would be nice.. c
I love the lounge of comments almost as much as the blog… I don’t often comment myself, I should do better, but I love reading through everyone else’s comments. So often someone will comment on something in one of the pictures that I have missed, and I go back and enjoy a second look at them 🙂
I find myself doing that too! – the days seem so long i can’t remember what i did this morning sometimes let alone the pictures.. c
I LOVED the ‘Daily View’ and being a meteorology ‘nut’ now have to look up the Illinois temps on my ‘favourites’ courtesy of the Chicago Weather Bureau! Sugar, one of the first posts I remember is the back of you in the yard with a very small Sheila and Charlotte being taken for ‘walkies’! Hmm, 2012 or ’13?
I remember that one- Sidney too that shot.. yes.. c
