Just a little dog. But a much loved, little dog. I didn’t know it then, of course, but these were the last pictures I took of our Cooper dog. My farmer man found him curled up over at the farm on Saturday evening. He looked like he was sleeping. In a sense I suppose he […]
A Good Dog and Expectations
“Cooper, when I tell you you’re a good dog, I expect you to act like one.” Cooper was barking loudly, and wildly chasing our mama cat. First, under the trampoline. Next, across the yard, and finally, Kitty scrambled smartly up a tree. I’d walked up just in time to hear the words come out of […]
Darling Kittens
We adopted a stray kitten last year, that showed up at one of our aunts’ house. My kiddos named her O’Malley and she’s been a really good cat. Right after we returned from Hatteras, she blessed our farm with three of the cutest kittens to be born here in a long, long time!! Simply darling. {As […]

Cats and Kittens of 2014
Meet O’Malley! We named her and then decided she is a girl. O’Malley seems more like a boyish name, I think, but oh well! About a month ago, O’Malley showed up at our aunt’s house. Our aunt posted a photo of the kitten on fb asking if anyone wanted to give her a home. I was sure my kids […]

Jumping Into Another Week:Hello Monday
It’s time to chronicle another week. How they fly! This past week has been quiet with my kiddos gone. Yet, I have enjoyed having time with my man, time to do some organizing and sorting, and time, uninterrupted. I have thoroughly enjoyed the pictures that my mother has texted me of my kiddos doing things that […]
Hello Monday:Peaches, Cows, Water, Cupboards, Milo
It’s Hello Monday! Linking up with Lisa! Hello to my brother-in-law’s cows! They finally found the corn shucks from the sweet corn. Hello cows, I enjoy seeing you wander through-and thank-you for staying in the pasture where you belong, so far! I’m sure the fact that we have no nice landscaping or yard keeps the fence working […]
In Which We Free The Bunnies and Are Invaded By Raccoons
After caring diligently for the baby bunnies, my daughter decided it was time to free them. They hip-hopped happily into the grass and disappeared very quickly. We freed them a good distance from our house, so hopefully they would stay out of reach of our cats. They were very cute little things, but I think they are […]
Baby Bunnies
My daughter has been a busy and dedicated animal mommy during the months of May and June. Right now her particular babies are three baby bunnies. They are eating and growing!! We really weren’t sure if they would. She has been feeding them milk from an eye dropper and faithfully harvesting dandelions and clover everyday. She […]
Of Harvest and Busy and Animals, But Mostly the Animals
It’s been a busy couple of weeks! Harvest time. Just the words equate “BUSY” in my mind! It’s a good time and a blessed time, though. My cousin and her husband and four daughters and two sons were here for the first week of harvest. My cousin’s husband helped out in the fields and my […]
Cinnamon and Sparky
Cinnamon and Sparky. The two baby calves on our farm right now. So dubbed by our daughter. They are pretty cute! Our farm isn’t much of a livestock farm most of the time. We do have bottle calves fairly often that grow up to provide beef for […]
My Dearie Had A Little Lamb, Little Lamb, Little Lamb
We have a little lamb on our farm. Just for a couple weeks. We are baby-sitting or lamb-sitting. Whichever way you want to refer to it. Both terms really do apply, because Frisky is a baby and he is a lamb! My dearie daughter is pretty much in love. She has been getting out of […]
Two Girls and a Horse
My daughter has… a friend… and my daughter’s friend has… a little horse… and my daughter… and her friend… had… a good time trying to bridle and saddle and ride the little horse!
A Homemade Fort
There was a fort in my backyard a few weeks ago. My kids had a great time building it and playing in it. They are quite creative at dragging things from all corners and creating something they want to play in. It doesn’t look like much from some standpoints, but they don’t care. Being a […]
The Pet on this Farm
I’ve been wanting to introduce you to one of the top priority pets on this farm. You’ve met Sprocket and various cats. This pet is more the pet of the farmer and his wife instead of the farm kids. I think the farm kids like it, but the farmer and mrs. farmer like it better. […]
Boys Love Kittens Too..
My little man is quite fond of kittens too. And his kittens get a lot of loving. Albeit in a more rough and tumble way, than a girl and her kittens, but with no less amount of love involved. His kittens have names and they also have nicknames. His favorite kitten last year […]
