This morning, like every other Sunday morning, Maddie got the front half out of bed and then decided to quit. A big yawn......
.....and back to sleep she fell...half in and half out of bed.
There are no days of rest on a farm. Each and every morning the chores are the same....and throughout the day, also. Most days the dogs like to run along with me for chores. However, each week by Sunday, Maddie is ready for a day of rest. Here is where she will stay most of the day. I guess it is hard work being a 140 lb. Newfie. She did spend yesterday playing with her best friend Sipke, so it is understandable why she is so tired today.

- Blizzard!
Ok, enough is enough! We have had a total of 3 foot of snow so far this month.... and we are not even half way through February. Although it is beautiful to look at, it does make farm life a bit more challenging. Yesterday was a crazy day! I went out...

Looking at this picture you might be fooled into thinking that Maddie loves to be close to me. Well, she does love me, but in actuality she is just lazy and would rather ride than walk!I suppose it is hard work to be a 140 pound Newfie. At least Maddie...

Our poor flock of Campbell ducks has slowly dwindled down to just one lone duck. We have named her Methusela because she has lived the longest. I worry that she is lonely. We feed her daily and she spends her days happily swimming on the pond...often...
