Today is the last of the quiet calm days that we’ve been having recently.
The weather revs up again on Tuesday for the foreseeable. It was lovely while it lasted. Everyone thinks that and it is all anyone talks about at the moment. Not that I am obssessed with the weather, but I am, totally!
Having said that, it is still very cold and once the wind starts blowing, the temperature will rise – so that’s the plus side.
The old ladies enjoy being around the house and I trust them to behave themselves. Others possibly less so, but Fivla and Vitamin would never do anything energetic like kick out or destroy anything.
They have better manners than that.
And I secretly love having them around too. Fivla has been in our family for 29 years. We know each other very well.
Vitamin and I have an understanding. Basically, I do whatever she says. She bosses me around as much as the Shetland ponies.
The others are getting on fairly well without the old ladies in their field. I think Waffle is the boss of them all now.
Albie knows he will be alright if he sticks with Waffle. Albie always needs a role model around. Independent thought is not his strong point.
And Silver is staunchly refusing to mind about his enforced diet.
He looks like he swallowed a button in this photo – and that would be the only thing he’s eaten all day, though there are small pickings in their field.
I am determined to stay strong on this diet front.
Stay strong! Those faces could do one in!
It is very difficult, I won’t lie.
I have to smile when you allude to nothing much happening because just describing the life you and your loved ones (2 & 4 foot varieties) is fascinating to me. I have always loved nature, people, animals & you give us that daily. Your pictures are breathtaking. The vistas are amazing. I love how everyone meshes. My life has been so different & it’s been a delight to spend minutes daily seeing what everyone is up to across the pond. The blog is just magical!
Awww thank you xx
Random comments, love those ice shapes, have you any photos of Fivla 29 years ago and ‘not much really’ is the title of most everyone’s days- normality is a comfortable feeling
Fivla 29 years ago was black. Totally black. I can dig out a photo. But characteristic wise, always the same.
Wow ! How beautiful and shiny Waffle is …..a sign of good health.
Wonderful photos, especially the skyscape, the ice shapes and the ponies – oh, yes, that’s all of them!!!
The ice photos are marvelous! Such beauty in the simplest things…we just have to look for it.
