Yesterday was almost 40F (4C) and the sun was shining like a wide open smile so I walked between the barns, my stride lengthening with every step until each of my winter bones had settled down and warmed up into that hot liquid streaming canter. The dogs and I were in heaven, after a while our feet barely touched the ground going faster and faster as we took the long way home.
Alex is not as short as she is pretending to be. I hope she is pregnant though – she will have such a tiny baby.
Poor old darling Tane with his underbite and bad hips. Such a lovely boar though.

Yesterday was a great discussion. And you outstripped me with all your comments. Thank you for all your comments. The Lounge of Comments is my favourite place to pop into during the day.
I hope you have a lovely day.
love celi

Just gorgeous. I’m so glad you’re not having the winter from hell like last year. We are in the grip of a monsoon, but it’s not cold, and everything is budding.
Lots of love,

It is a wonderful respite – c
There’s nothing more welcoming than winter sunshine. So lovely! I hope your weekend continues to be a joy.
The comments on yesterday’s post were so interesting. I’ve read them all and it took me quite a long time. So I was wondering whether you would have the time to read all our thoughts on the subject you brought up, Celi. And I was wondering whether there’s a tradition in US to do the de-cluttering especially in January, as so many of the Fellowship said that they were about doing it right now. This caused me to revisit that “Apartment Therapy”-Site again and there it was: The January cure 2016. Loved it. January is gone now, but I think one can start that cure whenever one wants, no? – If somebody is interested in, here’s the link (forgot to add it yesterday): http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/collection/january-cure-2016-895
With love to you all, Irmi
I always read the comments, more than once most of the time but sometimes I do not get the time to answer every one – and every time a new comment comes in on Any page i am notified so i read the late ones too! much love..c
So you had a hard day, yesterday… 😉
Good night, Celi.
No. A good day! night night Irmi
Wouldn’t it be a godsend to have a mild winter altogether! We deserve one considering last year!
Oh what a beautiful morning- Oh what a beautiful day!
These past 2 days have been incredible! Hard to believe that we’re in what should be the very worst of winter. I can almost see your cavalcade traveling between the barns. This would have been impossible in the recent winters. Now, though, with the sun now setting after 5:00 pm, spring seems to be closer than ever. I hope you get a chance to enjoy Sunday, too, Celi.
Winter sun is the best sun of all 🙂
Although I live in Sacramento, California now, there was a time I spent 13 years in New England, so know from snow. And when you were describing your steps I remembered the “winter walk” and how careful one has to be to avoid slipping. I’m so bone-deep happy you are having a respite. You, of all folks, deserve it!!! Lots of love to the fellowship and the head, Celi.
It was beautiful here today too, dripping all over the place but we still have quite the snow cover. It gives a chance to scurry around and do the extra stuff that gets shunted aside or hastily done when it’s so cold. I am steadfastly ignoring the weather guys who are blathering about and BIG STORM with MUCH SNOW that’s going to hit Tuesday and Wednesday.
Good weather for loading a big truck with household goods to go to storage. Good friends to help and uphold. I just hope I can move tomorrow. It would help if the rain holds off tomorrow too, at least until we’ve unloaded. Glad you got out for a good walk, it’d be nice to be able to do that again.
That sky is so much bigger than mine.! but I’m not complaining – – just saying. And happy to be here as well as there.
