the occupy movement...in our part of the country

It's been a while in the works...
but our new barn addition is totally finished...
and as of yesterday...
occupied!

 
Yesterday was moving day.
The cattle that had been making their home in our neighbour's barn...
came back to the farm.
They were soon lounging in their new comfort stalls...
and having their backs scratched under the bright yellow back scratcher.
No protests from the farmyard whatsoever!

I had planned to go document things on moving day...
but had little visitors here yesterday...
so this reporter stayed home.
But I did send my camera.
So I now have a few photos...
and a camera that smells like the barn.
We'll have to find a way to remedy that.

Have a wonderful weekend!

  2. That back scratcher - is it available online?
    Hmmmm - no idea of a solution for the camera afflicted with parfum du ferme....that's got to be a first!

  7. Quite a cozy space for the cows. Do they get a Christmas tree or at least a wreath somewhere too?

    Glad to see that your addition is completed and I'm sure they are all so enthusiastically milking just in time for Christmas.

  11. I love these posts that cause me to pass the notebook over to T. Oh I would love to bring some little ones over some time. What a beautiful barn.
    congratulations to you. It is a big undertaking and lots of planning.

  12. Your hubby won't need anything under the Christmas tree now. The milking barn looks very efficient. Judy my daughter had already visited the Christmas Market and loved the experience. Thanks for the info!

  14. The cows are sure to appreciate their new home (and that back scratcher) by giving even more milk!
