My 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
Yep, she brings a lot of joy my way! Thanks Rochelle.
With her way around animals, she sure sounds like a real city girl !
She’s certainly no country bumpkin!
A fun story, Keith!
Glad you liked it Sadje
🙏😊
I certainly hope Rosie’s head was still in contact with the rest of her body 🙂 Fun take on the prompt .
Thankfully it was Linda! Thank you
Ha ha – always enjoy your Rosey stories, Keith.

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!
That is one funny story!
…as I hoped! Thanks so much
The five legged horse!? What the … Good stuff, a right caper.
She was a little embarassed when she realised her mistake! Thanks so much.
Farmer Fred must be a very patient man! 🙂
He is, it’s a prerequisite of becoming friends with Rosey!
Rosey! I just noticed you animated her smile, which shows up in her story. I do love Rosey! 🙂
I wondered if anyone would notice! Thanks so much Sascha.
Hah! Rosey is a laugh riot! Well done Keith!
She’s kept me amused during 10 years of writing about her! Thanks so much.
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!! =)
She’s far luckier than she deserves to be, time and time again! I’ll reprimand her for creeping you out!
It sounds like it’s a good thing Rosey don’t live at the farm.
I’d certainly fear for the animals if she did! Cheers Mimi.
Beware, Keith. Rosey may just get the notion to buy a motorbike! 🙂
Heaven forbid. She’s dangerous enough on her pedal bike!
All’s well that ends well. Lucky lady she doesn’t spend more time in hospital.
Actually, she’s such a regular visitor to A&E that she’s got a loyalty card!
Sounds like a fun time. Love the creepy animation.
Mmmm, it is a bit weird I admit!
So glad I made it by on a day when Rosey is in attendance! Nice to see you Kieth.
Perfect timing Violet! Good to see you again too.
Well, she won! Has she always been animated or is that a recent thing?
Oh, she’s been animated for ever and shows no sign of abating any time soon!
Your frined Rosey could lead you into all kinds of trouble – be careful, boy!
She could and she has! Cheers Liz.
Ooops! Friend!
I quite liked that word!
Sounds like Rosey is having the most fun of all!
She usually does! Thanks Russell
You and she have some good times, which make entertaining reading for us.
We certainly do! Cheers.
Oh, that was a good chuckle this week! I can picture it… and her. Love it!
Delighted she amused you! Cheers Bear.
A fun little story, really enjoyed this
Country capers, I wonder who does the work?
I wonder? Cheers James.
she was indeed lucky not to get hurt. or perhaps just too embarrassed to admit it. 🙂
Cats have none lives, Rosey many more! Cheers plaridel.
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
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.
I couldn’t help noticing she has such an exceptionally enchanting face
What a beautiful little story. Its short sentences remind me of children’s fiction. Do you write Children’s stories? congratulations.
Funny you should ask me that!

Thanks so much for your kind words.
I loved this Keith, it reminded me of the fun I used to have on farms
Me too! Happy days. Cheers Michael.
Sounds like fun times. Have to catch up with your Rosey stories. Great piece.
Delighted you enjoyed it, thanks so much.
Humour and happiness – what a winning combination! And heaps of hay are so erotic, don’t you think? A bit scratchy, but great fun!
Having been brought up in a farming town, I tend to agree! Thanks Penny.
Love Rosey!
Me too, she comes in very handy when I’m stuck for a story!
Dear Rosie, she’s eternally optimistic isn’t she ?
Always was, always will be! Thanks WWM
Story made me smile! 🙂
Thanks so much Jade
This made me smile.
I’m pleased! Thanks Dawn
Those horses have some long… legs.
Every time I read about Rosey, I can’t help but think how well we would get along.
One’s bad enough but two of you?
Delightful! I imagine there is never a dull moment when Rosey is around 😀
Too right!
Fun take on the prompt!
Thanks Dee
Great Caesar’s ghost, I’ve just noticed that Rosie’s smile moves
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!
