Annnd so the chickens have to be locked up in the run and the coop during the day. No more free ranging for a while unfortunately. The fox is so brave that it came inside our yard and tried to take a chicken that was pecking around in the grass about 8 feet from our … Continue reading The fox is back!
Farm life
He’s adapting well…
Chewie was with Gramma when she passed. He knows she's gone, and he doesn't look for her (unlike when she was hospitalized, and he would just go room to room to search for her and almost knock his visitors down trying to get to their cars to see if she was out there). He stayed … Continue reading He’s adapting well…

Sad about the stillborn
After Bessie gave birth last week, we were so excited to realize that the heifers would soon have calves, too. We counted up and figured all three would calve within the next month at most. This morning as I headed to work, I noticed Bindi acting strangely. Ted checked as he left and said she … Continue reading Sad about the stillborn

Gramma got her wish!!!
As I was taking Jake to school yesterday morning, I caught sight of Bessie with her tail standing straight out. I slammed on the brakes and yelled, "What's that cow doing???!?" We watched a minute, and Jake said, "Awww, she's just poopin', Mom." And she was...but as I stared intently at her rear end, I … Continue reading Gramma got her wish!!!

Hiking our farm today
Today, we decided to hike our farm. It. Is. GORGEOUS!!! Side note: We walked to the edge of the woods, heard a "meow", and then Ted brought Daisy back home and locked her in the house because she was following me. He said he knew if he didn't take her home, she'd get lost, and … Continue reading Hiking our farm today
