Remember how I painted all the Jacobs sleeping together on the right side of the barn in the Christmas card? They really do all tend to sleep there. There actually being the aisleway stall...which is the furthest to the right in real life.
Blossom is sleeping in there with them right now. She picks a spot for awhile, then moves to another spot and then when she's tired of that spot she moves again... I should keep a note of how many days she stays each place, just for curiosity. The "T" in this picture is not actually a "T". That's Clover Belly.
Clover Belly stayed with her mom, Baby Belly, her whole life, the way Muffin did with Mrs. Pepperpot. After Baby Belly passed, Clover Belly just sort of drifted. No one ever picked on her (Baby Belly saw to that early on ;-), but she didn't really seem to have any close friends.
I'm not sure why that was and I don't want to speculate on all the reasons that might factor in. I'm just happy to see six T's now, whether out in the field or napping together in the sunshine.
Don't get excited. It's not sunny here. I took this picture last week before the weather changed. Sigh...
