Chicken House in the Tall Grass
We went over to check on the laying birds and their guardian, Kasey. Can you see Kasey barking his head off under the chicken wagon in the picture above?

For starters, I thought we had a deranged fox on our property because we would see it every day, … [Read more...]
Update on Romeo – the Fierce Feral Cat
We thought we should update you on our highly skittish, rarely seen, vampire-like feral cat we adopted a while back. Sir Romeo. He is a vicious predator, wily mouser and able to fend for himself with just a little help from us throughout the seasons (or shall I say, our continuous new season,: ‘never-ending cold’). … [Read more...]
