While the pigs get to play in mud and Boo lies by the fire (with incredibly ill grace) Ton and I are shifting fences and working on the West Barn Poppy broke out last night forcing gates and breaking through the electric fences then when she saw my truck coming up the lane she ran all the way back to her food bowl in her new quarters breaking through everything all over again to get back in time for dinner.
Plus the electric fence is just not chargng right over there and the water thingy is leaking. So there is even more mud over there.
Lots to do. But first I gave myself an extra hours sleep until 6.30 – I am on my break now (no second breakfast in the winter) and back out the door the moment I send this to you wonderful people.
Talk tomorrow!
Love celi

That Poppy is a stinker!!! Gonna have to punish her!! A spanking like us Kids got!!
Have a good day!
Gotta love the livestock 😄 I’ve never figured out why they can’t cause trouble in broad daylight – always seems the most inconvenient time, like when we have to get to work.
I swear, if it’s not one thing, it’s another thing.
That Poppy! Always up to no good and making sure you get no rest. Hope the rest of your day goes better.
Poppy never changes, but at least she’s a good mum 🙂
Poppy is a real character just like Sheila but Sheila does not do naughty things..love em to pieces

Goodness… just when you had a plan and things were rocking along nicely. I usually say that the weather is what sets the precedent for the day but today Poppy took the reins. Ha ha! Never a dull moment, eh?
Naughty Poppy. Hurry and get well, Boo – your charges are running amuck. Good morning to you all!
Frustrating when you can see things happening and nothing to do about it until it’s over. Hope everything calms down. I hope the rest helps Boo. Good luck with your day.
Poppy! It looks like she thought she was just going for afternoon tea at the West Barn and not to stay. 🙂 Laura
Good luck on the rest of your day. That Poppy is a pip and a half. It’s always something. I hated it when the pigs went through the electric fence, I didn’t want them to learn that they could stand the pain for a little freedom!
I certainly want to wish you and all the readers of this blog, a Happy Thanksgiving! I also hope that my girl Sheila had a little extra to eat yesterday. I put Sheila up as the Star of the Farm. I am thankful for this blog that I read daily. And, Celi, you never shared a photo of your new truck! God Bless all of you.
Have to laugh at Poppy’s antics. Even when you were slugging through the mud!
No second breakfast? I hope you keep some little snacks for yourself in your pockets to keep you going!
oh my- don’tyou need that 2nd breakfast? Bad Bad Poppy. Hugs to all especially you and Boo!
