On the way to see the pigs, this little arrangement caught my eye. Tom and Jerry – fools for love! Or just fools. They spend so much time fanning… Calling, And preening… That they’ve let all the eligible hens go to the fox. Some romance! The pigs were bustling about in their curious way. As soon as you … [Read more...]
Now That We’re All Dug Out…
We got our feathers all ruffled up for 6 inches of the powdery stuff? Ok, that was NOT the epic snow predicted. I mean, even Tom and Jerry were out and about – not roosting as they are want when the snows come in force… Meager snow aside, the lambs and chickens were nestled in nicely – either in the barn or in … [Read more...]

Below are Willson and Tom Gates … [Read more...]
Settling into Fall
