Daisy obviously missed me. She's been on my lap since we got home from Chicago. If I sit down, she's on my lap. If I get up, she keeps me in sight, following me from room to room. When I sit down again, she's back on my lap. I am loved.

Feeding the pigs is a whole process
We brought home 1800 pounds of pig feed, and then Ted had to fill the big gravity feeder with it all. It's not as simple as you'd think. First, the bags go into the tractor bucket (as many as will fit without spilling). Then Ted drives the tractor down the path through the woods to … Continue reading Feeding the pigs is a whole process

Fluffy butts on parade
The chickens love free ranging. They love pecking and scratching through the yard, driveway, and woods for tasty buggy treats. This young rooster is just gorgeous. His tail feathers have that green sheen to them that game birds have. He struts his stuff around the hens like crazy, but they just ignore him for the … Continue reading Fluffy butts on parade

Crazy Friskee
I found Friskee draped across the toilet seat when I went in the bathroom. That cat gets into the craziest positions and spots in the house! She meandered up from there like it was a normal everyday spot for her to lay! LOL

It's just right: not overpowering but definitely strong enough to smell it! I've used it all up this past … Continue reading Loving this scent right now!

Puppers is 5!
Five years ago, I picked up this teeny tiny two day old ball of fur. She was from a litter of six; they said her mother died. She fit in the palm of my hand with plenty of room left over. Her eyes were closed up tight, but she had a fierce sense of smell; … Continue reading Puppers is 5!

The uncuddliest cat in the world
Sometimes Ted just wants a good cuddle so he grabs Daisy. Daisy, unfortunately, is not a cuddly cat. She tolerates cuddles though because she's a good cat! She is NOT happy about it though... ...until Ted finds the sweet spot and gives her neck scritches!

Loving the fireplace today
DG loves the fireplace. Her favorite spot is right in front of it. It doesn't matter if there's a dog bed or pillow or just hard floor - it's her favorite place!
