Literally! I waited a little too long to do the evening farm chores, and I got caught in the downpour! I looked like a drowned rat. I felt like one, too, because I had to walk back home in it AFTER spending twenty minutes working in it!

Buried treasure (for us!)

He's the sweetest little thing when we handle him though; he's so tame he jumps right up on my hand … Continue reading Peepers update
