- On Dressing Dogs
With Winter's early arrival,I have had to start putting dog coats on the dogs in the morning for chore time. Oakley and Sam are used to this routine. Oakley was oblivious... Sam, mildly annoyed... Annie, spastic (at first)... It took a half hour...

Everyone loves traditions. You know, those things that we look forward to at specific times. Dogs are no exception to that. They, too, love traditions... rituals, if you will. Each morning, our dogs are used to the same ritual. "Viteyum time" we...
- You Can't Keep Them Young!
This morning started much the same as every morning on the farm. Our alarm clock is the first "wake up!" song of Mr. Cardinal (Mr. and Mrs. are year-long residents in the tree outside the farmhouse). Without fail, each day he sings the first stanza of...

It's Coming!
Autumn.
It's almost here!
The nights are cool now.
The days are finally bearable.
Everyone on the farm is enjoying the cooler temperatures.
Energy abounds.
Each morning all of the dogs come out for morning chores.
Hickory leads the way with energy not typical for a 15 year old.
Even Maddie has a spring in her step.
(Hot weather is tough on big gals!)
Oakley is happy to have so many friends
along for morning fun!
"What? What are you looking at us for??"
(say two very innocent looking goats.)
Bobby rides along in the gator
and keeps watch over the watering cans.
He will soon begin to grow his fluffy winter coat.
PS: For those of you who read this blog on a regular basis....
I wanted to let you know that Rod's last tail feather is gone.
His poor behind is naked....
Poor, poor Rod...
That has to be a bit humiliating!

The goats are quite comical in cooler weather.
They are heading into mating season,
so everyone is "twitterpated!"
The boys enjoy head butting...
but stop what they are doing when I appear with the camera.

Another sure sign that Autumn approaches is this....
The tree swallows have started to flock.
Each morning they sit on the electric wires.
Soon they will be leaving for warmer regions.
I love this time of year.
Almost as much as our animals do!
