Farm life
DG and Ladybird
When I first brought Ladybird home, DG was very scared of her. She would run and hide if I even showed the puppy to her! Obviously that has now changed, and DG's natural curiosity is winning out. It looks like these two might soon be the best of friends!

Figuring out the new barn
I've been trying to figure out what I want in the new barn we plan to build this summer. This is our little mini barn that we currently use (this pic was taken on a cold night so the heat lamps are lit and glowing in the windows): I have piles of sketches, printed tips … Continue reading Figuring out the new barn
Farm girl goes dancing…
...and discovers eggs from the evening chores in her sweater pocket as she's going inside & has to leave them on the vehicle front seat! LOL Meanwhile, back at the barn, the hens are enjoying their curdled milk bedtime snack.
