Daphne: "Is there no end to the indignities you make us suffer?"
I guess Daphne will be attending our party as a donkey.

We've reached that point in the winter when daily chores seem to take forever.While there are less chores to be done,the ones that remain take much longer...complicated by the ice on the ground. Because the equines eat so much more hay in the winter, they...

For weeks now, Daphne and Chloe have lived on a very narrow path from their house to their water and food area.Back and forth all day...refusing to go off the path. Unlike the horses, who trudge through the snow, no matter how deep,these gals will...
- Welcome March!
There's something in the air...barely perceptible, just a hint, a tiny reminder...that Spring is just around the corner. It is, you know, the first of March.By the end of the month, there will be bright green buds on the willow treesand all the rest...

October is here, and love is in the air.Yes, it's once again mating season here at Bee Haven Acres. Our male fainting goats, Chip and Fred, have turned into blubbering fools...pacing the fence with their tongues hanging out. Testosterone has gotten...
- Love Is In The Air!!
It's mating season at Bee Haven Acres. I thought I would share this year's pairings with you. I can hardly wait to see the adorable babies that these three couples make. March seems so far away. Our boys were so relieved to finally get to visit...

Celebrating
Did you hear that?
That was a huge sigh of relief uttered by
Myrtle....
Missy...
and her daughter Nettie B.
Mating season is officially over.
All that is left are the months of waiting....
waiting for Spring's arrival and the return of (our favorite time of year) kidding season.
While the does are quite relieved,
poor Chip is quite unhappy.
He stands in his pen crying for the does.
Obviously mating season was not long enough for Chip.
Well, Chip, you only have to wait another year for the next one!
Unaware of males, mating, or things of that nature,
the pigs were in their pigpen, yesterday, trying on costumes for next week's Halloween party.
Ginger was trying on various outfits while MaryAnn critiqued them.
(Note MaryAnn sticking out her tongue in disapproval!)
Obviously, the witch's hat is not MaryAnn's favorite!
I think she objected to the green spider on the hat's brim.
Chloe, our donkey fashionista of course chose a hat with flowers.
"How about you, Daphne....
would you like to dress up too?"
Daphne: "Is there no end to the indignities you make us suffer?"
I guess Daphne will be attending our party as a donkey.
