Winter Sun

Today was a beautiful day! This morning was freezing until the sun hit then it was just glorious l headed outside to do odd jobs about the place. One was to pick up the cow poo that collects under the Macracarpa Pines. The cows sit under there a lot,most of the night and any cold windy day. It's too easy to head out there with a wheelbarrow and a shovel and within half an hour l have 3 huge loads of poo!!  To save me constantly opening and closing gates l opened everything up and let the animals intermingle! Great fun they thought! Places they had never been and grass they have never eaten!Toggles headed straight for the top of the baby chook pen! !! Typical!
The sheep just loved all the grass in the chook pen they had never tasted before!
The goats made a bee line for the chicken shed and munched into the hay in there like they hadn't eaten for a week!
And the chooks ...feeling invaded headed off to the Macracarpas and settled down amongst the cow poo l was about to remove!
Mrs and Mrs Mother Hen and baby however didn't venture that far afield and watched all the comings and goings from a safe corner of the paddock
 As did Treeka!
The cows just basked in the sunshine. Blue giving Auntie Jack a lovely face clean with her coarse blue tongue!
 Then went to sleep in what l considered to be a rather precarious position!!!!
Poppy and Auntie Jack slept and dozed in the Winter sunshine.......
 What a perfect day!
