"Hey there Grammie....you're looking a little worn out!" Thanks for the vote of confidence, there, Daphne! I guess when your animals start to look at you this way, you know you are looking a little haggard! I typically think of myself as a...

You might think me odd when I tell you how exciting yesterday afternoon was for me.But then again, if you know me, you won't think it odd at all! Yesterday afternoon was Super Duper Pooper Scooper afternoon! After a month with snow on the ground...

- Cat Tales
It has always been my impression that cats are at least mildy afraid of water...or perhaps just averse to it. That doesn't seem to be the case with TomTom or Bobby. Both of them are always right there with their faces in the buckets as we are filling...

H2O and Snow, Snow, Snow
I am sure by now you are well acquainted with MaryAnn and Ginger,
our Kunekune pigs.
These two girls are so full of personality,
and have so many funny little habits.
Every day, on one or more of my trips to the pigpen,
I clean and refill their water buckets.
As soon as MaryAnn hears me outside her door,
she runs down the ramp from her stall and meets me at the buckets.
Here she waits for me to start pouring the water....
She sticks her little piggy lips out and gets a drink of fresh water...
as if out of a drinking fountain.
She makes little slurpy noises as she sticks her tongue out....
the water running over her nose, lips, and chin.
She drinks and drinks until she has had her fill.
Isn't she just the sweetest little piggy girl you have ever seen?
I had hoped that construction of our pavilion would be done yesterday.
At sunrise, it seemed possible....
but by mid morning, work had ceased.
By afternoon, this is how the farm looked.
I reiterate... PA weather is so variable this time of year!
Never fear... I would bet that this will be melted in the next day or so.
And the guineas are praying that it does!
