Early, one morning, just as the sun was rising....

So goes the song that I remember so well, dreading having to sing it at school, for I have no singing voice.
But here are some pics of the other morning, my usual routine, get up and go out and feed hens, ducks, geese and goats.
This month`s weather has been fairly fine. And though it was cool the other morning, it was what the Irish inspiringly call a `soft` morning, beautiful and pearly and mellow with the promise of summers end.
Been making the most of this weather, doing what I can outdoors...mowing grass and working hides, cleaning hutches and clearing paths. Keeps me fit but also sunshine helps fight depression, and I admit I do feel a lot better having been outdoors for a few good warm hours work, than cooped up indoors on a wild or rainy day.
Long may the sun shine on your heads, good people.
Enjoy each day for it never comes again.

"Bring me sunshine in your smile, bring me laughter all the while" Oh for those hazy, lazy days of summer....

A lovely pearlescent contrast to Island Thread's sunrise. What a nice little steading you have there HL.

Flying Cat from an admiring glance


HL, that's the way, out and about and not moping. You are so right about enjoying each day! Tonight I will produce a crayfish party for me and Ms. Barney - and the sun is shining here also, at any rate just now (14:05 UK time).

Barney from Swithiod return greeting


I'm a bit worried about Barney's state of mind...it may be to do with the overuse of the b****e word, but he seems to have returned to Swithiod greeting...
