Words on a Wednesday …

for Friday Fictioneers

BGMy friend Rosey and I love visiting Farmer Fred. 

Once Rosey tried milking a cow and squirted herself in the eye.  Another time, whilst stroking a lamb a ram butted her back-side!  As for her five-legged horse…!

Last time, we drove across the fields.  I had the tractor, Fred, his Landrover, Rosey a 4×4 buggy.  ‘Race you to the barn’ she said shooting off into the distance!

Unfortunately, she missed the brake pedal and careered straight through the barn doors.

We eventually caught up to see her grinning head poking out of a heap of hay!

We are going again Saturday.

    Dear Keith,

    It sounds like you keep Rosey around for sheer entertainment. Cute story. I laughed at the ram butting her back-side.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    With her way around animals, she sure sounds like a real city girl !

    A fun story, Keith!

    I certainly hope Rosie’s head was still in contact with the rest of her body 🙂 Fun take on the prompt .

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 19, 2020 / 16:39

      If I can’t think of anything to write Rosey usually comes to the rescue! Cheers Susan

    Rosey is always available in a pinch, eh? She sure keeps us laughing with her effervesent joie de vivre!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:47

      She was a little embarassed when she realised her mistake! Thanks so much.

  6. Iain Kelly's avatar Iain Kelly February 19, 2020 / 19:01

    Farmer Fred must be a very patient man! 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:46

      He is, it’s a prerequisite of becoming friends with Rosey!

  7. Sascha Darlington's avatar Sascha Darlington February 19, 2020 / 19:18

    Rosey! I just noticed you animated her smile, which shows up in her story. I do love Rosey! 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:43

      I wondered if anyone would notice! Thanks so much Sascha.

  8. The Abject Muse's avatar The Abject Muse February 19, 2020 / 22:12

    Hah! Rosey is a laugh riot! Well done Keith!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:40

      She’s kept me amused during 10 years of writing about her! Thanks so much.

  9. Brenda's Thoughts's avatar Brenda's Thoughts February 19, 2020 / 22:33

    Rosey was lucky on two counts; getting the 4×4 and surviving it! Love your Rosey stories. I was a little startled by Rosey’s unexpected smile (and maybe a little creeped), but loved that too!! =)

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:37

      She’s far luckier than she deserves to be, time and time again! I’ll reprimand her for creeping you out!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:34

      I’d certainly fear for the animals if she did! Cheers Mimi.

  10. Christine Goodnough's avatar Christine Goodnough February 20, 2020 / 02:30

    Beware, Keith. Rosey may just get the notion to buy a motorbike! 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:32

      Heaven forbid. She’s dangerous enough on her pedal bike!

  11. Tannille's avatar Tannille February 20, 2020 / 04:58

    All’s well that ends well. Lucky lady she doesn’t spend more time in hospital.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:29

      Actually, she’s such a regular visitor to A&E that she’s got a loyalty card!

  12. Sandra's avatar Sandra February 20, 2020 / 10:01

    Sounds like a fun time. Love the creepy animation.

  13. Violet Lentz's avatar Violet Lentz February 20, 2020 / 11:07

    So glad I made it by on a day when Rosey is in attendance! Nice to see you Kieth.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:26

      Perfect timing Violet! Good to see you again too.

  14. draliman's avatar draliman February 20, 2020 / 12:48

    Well, she won! Has she always been animated or is that a recent thing?

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 20, 2020 / 17:24

      Oh, she’s been animated for ever and shows no sign of abating any time soon!

  15. Liz Young's avatar Liz Young February 20, 2020 / 15:26

    Your frined Rosey could lead you into all kinds of trouble – be careful, boy!

  16. Russell's avatar Russell February 20, 2020 / 22:24

    Sounds like Rosey is having the most fun of all!

  17. msjadeli's avatar msjadeli February 20, 2020 / 23:34

    You and she have some good times, which make entertaining reading for us.

  18. bearmkwa's avatar bearmkwa February 21, 2020 / 13:31

    Oh, that was a good chuckle this week! I can picture it… and her. Love it!

  19. angietrafford's avatar angietrafford February 21, 2020 / 13:53

    A fun little story, really enjoyed this

  20. James McEwan's avatar James McEwan February 21, 2020 / 15:11

    Country capers, I wonder who does the work?

  21. plaridel's avatar plaridel February 22, 2020 / 00:33

    she was indeed lucky not to get hurt. or perhaps just too embarrassed to admit it. 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 23, 2020 / 12:48

      Cats have none lives, Rosey many more! Cheers plaridel.

  22. larry trasciatti's avatar larry trasciatti February 22, 2020 / 02:23

    Rosey’s a bit too much Lisa Douglas for Oliver’s world. That’s such a very nice picture of her, and I’ve just noticed her smile is moving

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 23, 2020 / 12:47

      I wasn’t sure who they were so I Googled them and now I see the connection! Hope Rosey didn’t creep you out Larry! Cheers.

      • larry trasciatti's avatar larry trasciatti February 26, 2020 / 20:58

        I couldn’t help noticing she has such an exceptionally enchanting face

  23. davezart's avatar davezart February 22, 2020 / 04:05

    What a beautiful little story. Its short sentences remind me of children’s fiction. Do you write Children’s stories? congratulations.

  24. michaelwynnauthor's avatar michaelwynnauthor February 22, 2020 / 09:26

    I loved this Keith, it reminded me of the fun I used to have on farms

  25. susanmehr's avatar susanmehr February 22, 2020 / 11:08

    Sounds like fun times. Have to catch up with your Rosey stories. Great piece.

  26. pennygadd51's avatar pennygadd51 February 22, 2020 / 17:54

    Humour and happiness – what a winning combination! And heaps of hay are so erotic, don’t you think? A bit scratchy, but great fun!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 23, 2020 / 12:12

      Having been brought up in a farming town, I tend to agree! Thanks Penny.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 23, 2020 / 12:05

      Me too, she comes in very handy when I’m stuck for a story!

    Dear Rosie, she’s eternally optimistic isn’t she ?

  28. Nobbinmaug's avatar Nobbinmaug February 24, 2020 / 08:12

    Those horses have some long… legs.

    Every time I read about Rosey, I can’t help but think how well we would get along.

  29. GirlieOnTheEdge's avatar GirlieOnTheEdge February 25, 2020 / 03:05

    Delightful! I imagine there is never a dull moment when Rosey is around 😀

  30. Dee | Grammy's Grid's avatar Dee | Grammy's Grid February 27, 2020 / 13:20

    Fun take on the prompt!

  31. larry trasciatti's avatar larry trasciatti May 24, 2020 / 18:25

    Great Caesar’s ghost, I’ve just noticed that Rosie’s smile moves

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings May 25, 2020 / 09:06

      I don’t think many people noticed that! Cheers Larry.

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
