Need to be sat on soon! But not today. It seems i will be flying by them for a few days yet.
Here is a little of yesterday though most of it was spent cooking. More today. Cooking that is. I am looking forward to tomorrow when this dinner party is over and I can settle back to just farming!
Naughty pig. She is such a big girl. I have felt Molly’s piglets move about but Tahiti is still too restless to lie down for me. 
I need to check their dates but they should farrow next month. If all goes well. And they are so round it scares me.
Today is McKenna’s last day on the farm. She has been here for most of the summer season and I have come to rely on her. She and the Frenchmen will help me with the special dinner at the Farmhouse tonight and then they are all going up to Chicago to see her off.
Someone is waiting for her milk.
I hope you have a lovely day. I am not a very social person so these kinds of occasions actually make me quite nervous. I am happier in the kitchen.
And I had better get the animals milked and fed and get back into the kitchen or I will never be finished.
Love celi

You are such a skilled juggler that seat-of-pants flying chez Celi is bound to appear calm, organised and natural as breathing. All will be well, the Farmy is looking fabulous, Miss Talia is growing like crazy and soon there will be piglets to enchant us. See you on the other side of Sunday…
Those kind of things make me nervous also. I’m more happy outside.

Unlike other commenters here, I would rather be at the table with the guests, having a great time chatting and sharing jokes and the like. Today, however, I am going to see two rooms for rent. Gotta move again. Landlady can’t afford rent and is abdicating her apartment. Sigh. And it’s in my favoritist neighborhood in Sacramento. One room is located in this neighborhood, so I’m hoping…once again. Much love, Your Gayle
You’ve got this. Maybe they’ll all have their mouths full too often to socialize much.
I didn’t realize how tall Aunty Del has gotten. Piggy faces looking for you are always inviting, too.
Relax, Celi. All will go off without a hitch and your guests will be more than pleased. I’m sure of it.
Let them eat. Cake! Er, sorry, got carried away. Great pictures and best of luck with your feast. I’m sure it will be enjoyable and provide more good memories for everyone to take home and for you to share with your farmy family.
Good luck with your dinner! I am much the same. Sometimes I get so caught in between because there are so many things to take me away from working our little farm and dogs. I’d give up housework and cooking in a heart beat. https://haveadanehilldanes.com
I always enjoy reading your posts and I love your photos.
Your animals always look so happy. Love the first pic of the pig, so cute! I’m sorry to have read of your loss of ViV, I didn’t know her but have read some of her blog posts. It’s obvious the blogging community made a positive impact on her life.
She made a big impact on our lives too .. all of us.. c
by now your party is most likely in full swing! I would love to see food photos please! Big hugs to all your helpers and you too!
Hi Celi .. magic photos lovely. Your special dinner will be wonderful 🙂
I always enjoy reading your posts and I love your photos.
