As I write this post (last night),it is once again steadily raining outside.Most of my hay hopes have been dashed...with more rain coming today. Since I am unable to commune with my critters and take fresh pictures,I am going to compile a batch of photos...

You might remember some weeks ago that I moved two chickensinto the barn from the henhouses...Rose, who was being picked on un-mercifully by the other hens,and Ivanka the naked neck chicken who had stopped leaving the henhouse. (As a side note, you might...

I've written many times about the different personalities that our animals have.Nothing illustrates this better than the barn kitties. Each of them has his/her own peculiar idiosyncrasies...much like humans do. There's EllaBella who prefers to...

The Littles and the barn kitties have all become the best of friends. TomTom has taken to napping in a corner of the Littles' stall. Bobby has decided that it is his job to lead the Littles back to the barn. Quite often Red tries to take Bobby's...

This past weekend Miss Ella(Camilla), one of our barn kitties, reminded me that she and her buddy, Charles(Prince Charles) had never been featured in our blog. So, since she was feeling particularly photogenic that day, I snapped her picture and promised...

The Party's Over
The party's over...
the sun has retreated once again.
See the grayness in the air above?
Yes, that's snow.
Again.
Just a shower...but a hint of what's to come, I hear.
Today I have a few small things to share with you...
just little moments that make me smile on any given...
or every given day.
Barn kitties....a constant source of sweetness!
Our four barn cats are all chubby, cuddly balls of fluff...
friendly to us always...
to each other usually, but not always.
Leo and TomTom are best buds.
They play together...
and sleep together.
TomTom is very caring and nurturing towards Leo...
gently bathing him...
Oh, so sweet....
Ella Bella... always has a scowl on her face.
The other cats leave her alone.
She loves attention from us, but prefers that the other felines leave her alone.
She is, after all, the queen of the barn.
Moll Flanders...the impossible to photograph cat...
never has her eyes open in any photo...
never holds still long enough for a good picture...
Gets picked on by Ella Bella...unmercifully,
so she hangs out with our barn chicken, Ivanka.
Ivanka is Moll's chicken.
These four sweet cats routinely earn their keep...
ridding the barn of all manner of pests
and providing me with company during all my barn chores.
