BACKWARDS –

Back – Wards. Usually you follow my day, my yesterday, in pictures going forwards but today we are going backwards because that’s just what happened.

So we are starting with a sunset. Out to the West.

The West barn gets beautiful diffused late afternoon light.

I tried to get Wai closer to Jude using food. But Wai shies off the moment he is finished. He is more afraid of pigs than he is of humans. Which makes no sense considering his history. And Jude is so small. How could Wai possibly be afraid of Jude. Was he once attacked by an ant?

Poo Bum Jude spent a good part of yesterday playing in the sun filled straw. And will again today I think. Even when it is very cold the animals and birds gravitate to the sun.

Jude is happy as a clam. Though I have never considered clams particularly cheerful. He still has a runny bottom. I don’t know how he is surviving with this endless leaching of nutrients but he is lively and hungry for his rice and vegetables every time now.

I started early feeding Jude and am writing to you this morning with my morning coffee(s) – one is never enough!

Time to go to the Other Side!

Have a lovely day.

  1. Such beautiful pictures, all of them. The steer with horns, in the straw, makes me think of Christmas Eve.

    I was told many years ago by a nurse that bananas can be constipating in large’ish quantities and they should never be a gift to a new mother in hospital (they have enough to worry about). But I have used bananas for myself and my daughter (when she was little) to help solidify things when we were “off” (as well as a cat once or twice). I’m guessing it is a combination of the potassium and the fructose/sugar, which is good for healing. I know you’ve balanced Jude before, but I wonder if a small bite of banana once a day with his veg and milk would help? And it could be phased out fairly easily once he is regular. You’re brilliant when it comes to animals and the foods they need, but thought this might be a consideration.

    Good luck little Poo Bum Jude, Miss C will fix you up.

  2. Aunty Del has such a sweet, interested, loving look. She’s a beautiful cow. I think you’ll get little Jude settled again. He looks like he was having a lot of fun in the straw, typical little one, doesn’t take much for them to have fun. It would be wonderful to be someplace where there is so much sky all around.
