Hopefully today will be calmer. I still have a couple of teenagers and their baby staying for another week or so. But the Frenchmen and I are hoping for a calmer day today. Something nice and ordinary would do the trick.
We got all the hay in yesterday morning. Stacked up into the barn working hard to beat the rain that never came.
Here is yesterday in pictures. Then I am up and onto it. 
I have the second wave of meat chickens arriving today or tomorrow morning. The Post Office will call me. Today we are back into the neglected gardens that need water. And I am pickling beetroot. I love eating beetroot in the winter.
I hope you have a lovely day.

Morning Kathe! c
Favorite shot of the day: the barn and the hay wagon.
and an empty hay wagon – even better.. c
I just went outside to move the water sprinkler only to find that it was raining. Never fails! Glad you got the hay in. That’s one less thing to worry about – until next time. The sun has returned and it’s shining brightly. Here comes the humidity! Stay cool, Celi. 🙂
We only got the smallest sprinkle so our watering programme is still working its way around the garden.
Lovely pictures! I love beets. I put some up earlier in the summer. Need to do it again to have them around in winter. Funny how fast canned beets fly off the shelf. 🙂
Oh you love them too – yes and they are so good for you! c

Talia is beautiful little heifer 😊
yes she is – and super strong.. c
I agree with Kate, your little red calf is very reminiscent of a fawn, so beautiful. Good news to get the hay all in, now let’s have some rain. We really need it too, And it’s so hot here, predicted to be 30 to 33 and with the humidex figured in will feel like mid- to high-30’s. Ugh! So I expect you’re also getting hotter than wished for temperatures. How do all the animals fare in the heat, with fur and feather coats on? Almost too much here. Hope you can find a little respite from it all. Have a great day! ~ Mame 🙂
We have been hot but not too hot yet – most just hand out under the trees or in the barn waiting for it to cool off.. c
I love that last picture!! She’s so adorably small! Looking at the outside world with a little trepidation. Aren’t we all so small and vulnerable compared with the big wide world…
especially if you are a tiny calf – thank goodness they can walk minutes after being born!
An empty hay wagon has to bring a good feeling. In an earlier photo I was wondering if it was the serving table for your big party. Either way, empty is good.
The amount of work, organisation and just stuff you get through… and great pics. I love your Instragram pics… and Instagram… so, errr, instant.
You have the sweetest faces! And that wee calf is adorable!
We had beet and onion salad ith pur dinner, quite delicious
I could be a pig for a day.
