And This Little Pig said Farm Day 6

Well it's Day 6 or evening, and we are waiting on one or our old does to kid. This will more than likely be her last kidding, we will have to wait to see how she is after this kidding.

Busy sort of day, we ended up having to go back to Ag-Quip, we left behind a pair of hoof shears we had brought, silly us.

It had rained over night, which made parking in a paddock fun, it took us 20 minutes to get from the front gate to park, slip sliding all the way, it was very greasy.

A view from the back door, up to the sheds and poultry. The rocks were what attracted my parents to this place, the goats love them.
Our Buff Sussex on the roost this evening.
The menagerie has been added to today, pheasants! A ringneck, with the wrong hen. 
Golden Pheasant, please excuse the pen, but when they arrived this morning, they had been in their travel boxes for 36 hours. Food, water and freedom, where higher on the list of things to do, they had arrived a week early, and an extra pair, we had two pens ready, but not three.
Golden Pheasant hen, we have to move them tomorrow. 
And a very pretty, Ringneck, mutation blue, he looks like a peacock. He at least has the right hen, even though she was hiding.
Our LGD, Molly, she is a Maremma.
My Meah.
Normie was getting upset that the puppies were getting all the attention. You can see how stressed and put out he is, simply inconsolable. 
Cheeky.
Paw on macro.
Nose on macro.

And This Little Pig said Rabbits and Intros

Okay, some Intros and Cross Stitch.

First my baby, well she is 2, but she is still my child, Meah is a mini foxie, and came to me by way of a friend. I'll leave her story to another day. But here she is sitting on my washing, when she has a perfectly good bed!
Next is my Quincy, miniature Dachshund, chocolate and tan, she is a half sister to Tatty's pups, same sire.
His Royal Highness Normie, Mum's cat demanded to make an appearance, he is a mistake mating, Cornish Rex father, Burmese mother. Normie is quite confused at the moment because up until Tatty came home in the family way, they were best friends, and now he is not even allowed to look sideways at the puppies. He was so glad when Quincy came home for a visit... Long playmate.
My current cross stitch project is a rabbit in mirror image, I have an idea on how I want to finish this, just whether it works. 

Raw linen 30 count, over 2. Dark Rabbit DMC 3371 finished and Lt Rabbit DMC 3864 nearly halfway done.
Plus my mystery piece, can you guess what it is? This has been put to one side, because I have to finished the Rabbits they are off to America, to live with a non-crafty friend, have to be done and gone by mid-July.
