The hay stack on the back porch has provided Smooch with a welcome diversion this winter,
say nothing of a soft, warm spot to park her butt.
Her vantage point from high atop Fort Smooch
affords a strategic advantage against invaders on all sides...
...including me. I've panicked a few times lately thinking she's disappeared from the back yard,
only to find her sitting quietly atop the stack.
At the rate I've been feeding the herd, the stack will be gone in a few weeks
and I'll start pulling bales from the hay barn.
Smooch has asked me to leave what remains so she can hold down the fort.
Maybe she is part mountain goat?
ReplyDeleteSmooch looks so cute up there in her castle! She must feel REALLY TALL up there!
ReplyDeleteShe must have been watching Johnny climb up there!
ReplyDeleteSo cute
ReplyDeleteI love Fort Smooch. How adorable is this?
ReplyDeleteThis way she can have her fort and foe to ward off all in the same local.
now she can add mountain climbing to her resume..
ReplyDeleteIt does seem a shame to totally dismantle her fort! She's is so enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteWe would get bales of soil mix that we would stack. That was our favorite place to sit too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to hang out. I'd kinda like to be up there with her. Glad she made peace with the steer head. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaving Smooch's fort and eating it too.. ;D
ReplyDeleteFort Smoochie-Poo!
ReplyDeleteLove it! ha ha!
My best friend's parents owned a horse farm in So California and we had the best times making hay forts...until one day we discovered a Mama RAT and her babies. That was the end of two summers playing in hay forts! Poor Smooch is going to lose her personal hay fort. I feel for her.
ReplyDeletePlus it looks good, too! I would leave it all year round if you could. It does look like fun...but I'd probably fall in and get stuck :-O
