- Perfection In A Day
Yesterday was the perfect Spring day.And believe me, after the kind of winter we had...I appreciate Spring in a whole new way! Temps reached about 70 with a breeze,which made it perfect for drying laundry. The dogs and I spent a great deal of time out...

There was excitement in the air yesterday morning as I tended to chores.(There was also a chill in the air...it was about 20 degrees!) We were scheduled to have some special visitors from Australia,and all of the horses were anticipating an extra dose...

It's late afternoon.The chores are finished.Before heading back to the house to make dinner,I take a moment to visit the pigs. "Hey MaryAnn!" "Hey, Ginger!" I call. The best of hostesses, they both come running... grunting their "welcome!"......

Tiny Visitors
Yesterday was a special day on the farm.
We had a group of pre-school visitors who came for a tour.
There is just nothing cuter than children and animals.
I think I had as much fun watching them as they had visiting our critters.
They were quite enamored with Minerva, and wondered if she lives in the playhouse
when she is not "working" in the garden!
I am not sure who was happiest here...
Sammy, MaryAnn, or their little visitor!
A tender moment was shared between pig and dog.
Everywhere we walked, Sam and Oakley had someone holding on to them.
These two boys were so tolerant and gentle!
Sam revelled in the attention!
After our visitors left, MaryAnn hopped in the pool for a swim.
I just love her smile!
She loves the water.
Ginger, on the other hand, prefers mud...
and digs through it with her snout until she finds the perfect place.
And then she flops down and rolls in the mud.
All of our animals have their own personalities
and their own special talents.
I thought I would share Henri's special talent.
Henri is an apricot colored Polish crested rooster who likes to do....
Owl impressions!
Pretty good, huh?
"Who-who looks like an owl?" he says.
Have a great weekend....we will be spending a lot of ours in the garden;
and will be back Monday to share with you.
