The expressions are delightful, Margaret! Back to full sunshine here today, though our fields are a little swampy. Got the washer on. It’s Monday, after all! Have a happy one xx

Especally the older pigs. The turkeys were manic. Perhaps they knew ….

Oh Margaret – a reminder that a visit to the farm is a breath of fresh air, where the simplicity of nature reminds us of life’s true treasures.

Indeed. This one’s especially pleasurable, because it’s all so small-scale, with the personalities of the animals they keep allowed to sing out.

How nice to see your farmyard shots after I have just posted on farmyard animals! I have discovered that I have a particularly soft spot for photos of poultry, and I love the chicken’s fluffy feathery derriere!
