Just about every morning, we get a visit from our little buddy who lives down the driveway, across the road, and up the next big hill. He makes the short trek over just so he can pee on my farm truck tires, sniff noses (and butts) with DG and Puppers, and have a drink from … Continue reading Visiting buddy

Best fertilizer around
We expanded the pig pasture to include the hens' pasture last year in September when we brought the pigs home. It was somewhat grown up and covered in patches of daisy-like wildflowers, and there was some grass, but there were bare patches, too. By February, the pigs had cleared the entire thing; it looked like … Continue reading Best fertilizer around

In my living room right now…
My first official day off was Friday which is always spent just vegging out on the couch, binge watching tv and movies. That morning, I found this newly hatched little chick in the coop along with two others (who didn't make it). The other chicks (two weeks old) and the three mama hens were horrible … Continue reading In my living room right now…

Blackberry breakfast morning
It's a blackberry breakfast kind of morning! This is the second time I have picked some blackberries this week. It looks like I'll probably get about two or three more times off of this one bush. The canes have really grown this summer, and I know that next year they will be loaded down. Yum!

She needed models for her website for the dog collars so she used Smidge, DG, and Puppers as well as some other dogs she knew. I just love the pics she took! The girls loved modeling for her (until a bee … Continue reading My girls are models!

Raccoon babies!
Gramma called me the other night and said there were three tiny raccoons on her porch but no mother. She said she was sure they were still nursing age, and she was worried about them. I grabbed the cat carrier and a can of cat food and headed down. My plan was to scoop them … Continue reading Raccoon babies!

Stand off
This is Tilley's favorite thing to do with Chip: play stand off. They push heads against each other and shove each other round and round. I can never figure out who wins or how they know who wins because it's not obvious; they just do it over and over and then stop as fast as … Continue reading Stand off

Looking at butts
Yep. You read the title right. I'm looking at butts, trying to determine if any cattle are bred or going into heat. Click off this post if you're not interested in looking at cow butts with me. Tilley's rear - maybe she's bred? Bindi's rear - she doesn't look like Tilley. Then again, she's a … Continue reading Looking at butts
