• My Wind Socks.

  It was windy yesterday. Bendy tree windy.  Trouble standing up windy. 40 mph (65 kph) It was like living on a ridge in Wellington! You guys in Chicago must have had a wild day. After I took this shot I struggled back inside so Camera House could rest in safety then  came back out and…

• Daisy’s Naughty Face

  Daisy is not always nice. But she is slowly increasing her milk production again.  Ever so slowly. She was smelling sweeter yesterday too.  I personally think she has been a little off colour.
