SHEILA SHOCKED BY RUMOURS
… of her disappearance. Actually she is quite chuffed that you noticed that Miss C and Camera House don’t get down the back to photograph her often enough.
I went down for a camera catch up and caught her in the bath. Can I have a minute to clean up, she said. 
Oh she said – well maybe another minute too. Well, on second thoughts, maybe not today. Come back yesterday.
This shot I took the day before yesterday when everyone got a little pumpkin each.
See that tree down in the background of this shot? (below) That is where Sheila and Poppy have spent the summer.
Yesterday I had a series of meetings and phone calls to begin my project for bulk whole GM free grains to farmers. It is going well. There is a lot of interest. But like every idea it is still just a germ of an idea and needs work to flesh it out and fill it in and make it into a real project.
Seven duck eggs yesterday. And one of my meetings scared up a market. I will send off my egg selling license application today.
More guests arrived last night into the Airbnb. I will see today how involved they want to be on the farm. You can always tell by their shoes! The weather is going to be perfect this weekend. They will be going back to the city on Sunday replenished, after having absorbed a good amount of Vitamin E and breathing some good fresh air and eating farm fresh eggs.
I hope you have a lovely day – the light is rising.
Love celi
The weather won’t load this morning. The internet is SO SLOW. Suffice to say it is fine and sunny and mild.

Oh, that last photo is priceless, with all the duck backsides in various poses, particularly the one in the tub! Lovely to see Miss Sheila looking so sleek and healthy, with her lovely mud high-water mark. She is *such* a glamour-queen!
She is looking better than ever this summer. Bless her.
I think she’s slimmed down a good bit. Either that, or her legs have grown!
yes – she has been sharing poppy’s diet both are looking much better.
Yes! It is easy to see that both Sheila and Poppy are keeping their girlish figures!!! Often a very difficult feat to accomplish with pigs!
Well done!!! 🙂
Simple delights… water, mud, a little pumpkin, grass, sunshine and a few good friends to keep one company. A little slice of heaven, isn’t it? Good morning, C.
Morning Miss Sun
Fabulous photos! Sunshine here today, we’re rubbing down old Pine doors and waxing them in our little garden ☀️
That sounds like just the job. So satisfying!
Sheila modeling her summer outfit!!! And all the chooks joyfully eating their breakfast with the piggies!!! Tane
sharing his pumpkin with Ms Chick!!!! And the priceless last shot of duckies – butt in the air – dive in!!!!!
Though Wai does not share easily! He gets huffy!
She’s every bit as cute as the piglets!
She is a beautiful animal really.
I would have thought Sheila and Poppy would be far more concerned about the rumour someone is hiding duck eggs from them😁 Laura
There is that!
A wonderful set of photos today showing busy days on the farm! My favorite is Tima the Tank plodding through all those chickens.
she is a bit of a tank!
Yes, you can always tell by their shoes!
They are going to come and help with chores this afternoon – bonus!
So wonderful for them too! And so important, especially for city folk who don’t often have the opportunity to touch the earth, breathe fresh air and connect with other living species on the planet! 🙂
“–the light is rising” here too as i read and look.
Lovely time of day.
Is that Wai Wai front and center stage in the one photo? If so, that little one is looking superb, huffy punkin’ ‘hogger’ and all! Loved these photos!
Yes. That is Wai and his pumpkin – he LOVES pumpkin- you will remember he lived on that and watermelon when he first came
Lucky Air BNB visitors! Wish we lived closer!
Love the farmy pics today ☺ The weather won’t load here this morning either… nothing to do with the internet. The past few days spring summery sunshine is stuck elsewhere apparently. Back to clouds and late winter temps for us for a few days.
Soon soon it will warm up for you!
It’s so nice to see Sheila, grand dame of the Farmy. Enjoy these lovely days with the comfortable weather and sunshine.
They are lovely
I didn’t mean to insult Sheila— missed her, that’s all. Her two-tone outfit quite high fashion. She’s probably reading Elle in her free time.
She was thrilled to bits!!
Am singing the ‘Dr Doolittle’ song as I laugh at the ‘backside in the bucket’ photo and count the happily foraging chickens who produce truly organic eggs with, I bet, vey yellow yolks . . .
Very very yellow yolks – almost orange!
Sheila is looking to be in excellent health! What a darling pig.
So happy to see Sheila, she always puts a smile on my face. And especially when she’s enjoying her pumpkin treat!
