Little Arlo loves to jump in the refrigerator when he gets the chance! It is probably because he literally lives to eat! I have never seen a kitten eat as much as Arlo!

Happy Christmas week!

Happy Christmas week!



This is Thursday morning, same time, early. Just a small amount of snow but still pretty. By tomorrow afternoon it will be all gone again!
Are you a winter, spring, summer or fall person? I prefer the fall myself, spring on the farm is so muddy the little ones boots will fall off their feet trying to walk thru the mud! Summer is very muggy and winters are raw and cold so I’m sticking with fall!





Hello Friends! It was a very blustery day on Friday, you can see Julius’s mane standing straight up! We also had our first snow of the season. It didn’t stay long before it all melted, it was all gone by Saturday.
Julius saw me walking back to the house with hay under my arm for Mr Roosevelt and whenever one of the horses spot hay they get all excited. This time of year it’s a treat! The bunny loves all hay, not only does he like to eat it, the hay keeps him warm on cold winter days.

Mr Roosevelt loves to sit on the chair, I’m not sure why, he just does.
I did end up giving Julius a handful of hay when I walked by. That doesn’t seem like a lot but they do get a bale of hay in the morning and it’s only 10am. When it’s very cold and snow in the field they get hay mid day. They end the night in the stall with bedtime hay. It’s no surprise why they enjoy hay so much!

Have a happy week!


Happy Thanksgiving friends!
My moms plans for having Thanksgiving at the farm went south this year-her two young grandchildren both have covid and that means her daughter is quarantining.
The good news about getting ready for company is that she painted ceilings, cleaned the house, took out old rugs and bought new window cushions where the roof was fixed! There is no more water flowing in the dining room!! I have a feeling she will now get out her Christmas decorations to make the house all pretty for Christmas!
Her son is at his girlfriends house this year with Arlo the kitten! Last year was my Moms turn having them here so it’s only fair! I’m pretty sure Mom and her partner will be going to his daughters for dinner today! I hope they bring us home some leftovers!
Mom told me she is thankful for all of us and all of you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!
