Red Rober

Yesterday we got about 12cm of rain at Farcical Farm.  It poured for 24 hours straight, and I got to wear my new red robe for the first time this season.

When David’s folks were in Tasmania they sprung for a family speedboat tour of Bruny Island.  Everyone on the tour got a long, waterproof cape to wear as protection against soaking by sea water.  As we were zooming around I realized that such a cape would be perfect for rainy day farm chores, since my knees always get wet in my long jacket.  After the tour I asked the company’s owner if I could buy one, and he sold me this for $85.  It would have been a bargain at any price.

Goodness! We won't lose YOU in a snowbank, will we, dear?

In such a pose, you look like an evil cult member, getting ready to light candles and lead incantations.

And more importantly, you look very dry!

Nobody expects the Squamish Inquisition! Is your chief weapon surprise? And ruthless efficiency? And fanatical devotion to the livestock?

I mock only out of envy, of course.
