- It Was Another Chilly 4th Of July!
I took a day off!Yes, I took Friday off from blogging...and it was totally unplanned. Hubbs was off work on Friday which totally threw me off.So, I thought that Thursday was Friday....and so on.Sorry! How can I describe our Fourth of July holiday?In...
- Chicken Infirmary
From time to time the barn becomes a chicken infirmary.Hens are quite unforgiving when one of them has a malady, or is just plain old.They gang up on the weak chicken and in no time can peck her to death.I suppose nature intended for this to be a survival...
- Friday Smiles From Maddie And Her Piggies
It has been a perfectly perfect week on the farm.Cool nights and warm (but not hot) days have re-energized me.It is so much easier to harvest and put up the veggies when the weather is cooler! Scattered storms have timed themselves so that I could take...
- Bird Brains
So many times in any given week, I wish I knew more about animal behavior. You would think with as much time as I spend with them,I would understand them better. The dogs are no problem....I understand them perfectly. The horses and goats...don't...
- Ahhh, Thursdays

Swimming Holes and Doughnut Holes
On one of the last warm days that we had here on the farm,
I caught Oakley in his favorite "cool down" spot.
Rejecting our pond, he prefers a much smaller "swimming" hole...
Actually, Oakley (part Lab....go figure) doesn't swim...ever.
He prefers dunking...
And splashing....
As for Sammy....this is about as wet as he ever gets!
*********************
Cool, crisp, cloudy Autumn days stir my soul and stimulate my nesting instinct.
The past few have been grey and drizzly.
It's days like these that make me want to spend hours in the house,
decorating for fall,
organizing,
baking (these..I added walnuts),
cooking (this..I added Italian sausage and Parmesan cheese),
burning spicy soy candles,
and enjoying a pot of hot tea.
(Won't you join me?)
Gardening chores are at a minimum now,
giving me time to spend in my sewing room.
I've started a quilt.... a little girl's piggy quilt....
I'll share when it is finished.
Hubbs and I are spending a very quiet weekend here at the farm...
making these (Yum!)
and enjoying the Autumn weather and relaxing.
Hope you are doing the same!!
