Boys Will Be Boys


Arctic air has hit Bee Haven Acres. It is frigid and windy here. Each morning we awaken to a new dusting of snow...a dusting that doesn't melt. All of the animals except the goats and horses stay inside their shelters most of the day (including us humans).

The barn kitties burn off their excess energy by wrestling.
Normally their days are spent out and about the farm and woods....exploring and hunting.
This week, however, they are sticking close to their warming lamps....rolling around and "fighting" with each other to pass the hours.
How else would two little boys spend their time?
You might notice that Ella Bella is not involved in this type of play.
She spends her days lazing under her own heat lamp.....hissing a "stay away" warning when one of the boys gets too close. "Boys will be boys", she says as she lazily grooms herself with her rough kitty tongue.

- Détente
All is well in the turkey world once more. After several days of Tom (the aggressor) being "sequestered"(placed on house arrest, actually),the boys have seemingly worked out their differences. You will notice in this picture, that Tom is all puffed...

- Sundays Are Fun Days!!
Yesterday morning we awoke to a light dusting of snow....we had had some flurries Saturday evening. It looks as if this will have to suffice for our White Christmas...as there is no more snow on the horizon. Since our Christmas preparations are complete,we...

- A Boy, A Ball, A Whole Lot Of Fun
What is it about little boys and balls?  It must be genetic...even amongst the animal kingdom!  I found an exercise ball and blew it up for the "Littles".  Each morning, when they go out to the dry lot or the pasture, they run and play...
