Caught in a sunbeam

Every once in awhile I have a camper here on the farm. Rudy is one of the more frequent campers. We got a cold snap the night before last so it is a little chilly until the afternoon. I caught Rudy napping in a sunbeam. Then he caught me taking his picture. about 15 mins [...]

New addition at HSF

| September 24, 2010

Well, I can procrastinate no longer. I seem to be in a blogging rut. I am trying to get better but there is so much to do and it seems the days are shorter than the usual 24 hr. days that used to be plentiful. Lady the goat dog did not work out. See her [...]

Nature Walk

| February 23, 2010

This weekend was so beautiful! 63 degrees and sunny, it was a taste of spring that we thought would never come. Hard to believe that the low tomorrow is supposed to be 19 degrees. Yikes. I was happy the warm weather was on the weekend so that Quinn could enjoy it with us. After church [...]

Best Dog in the World

People are blessings

Ok. Yesterday I was gifted a canner and today one of my clients blessed me with art. She brought her dog to be groomed but also brought something she made me. She had gotten a new “toy” and made me some letters for the wall. She put them on the wall as you go to [...]

Day at the Fair

I have entered my Spaghetti Sauce, Blackberry Jam, Peach Jam, Pumpkin Butter and Pear Honey. I have never done anything like this before in my life [...]

Let sleeping dogs lie

| August 25, 2009

Roscoe enjoyed the cool yet partially sunny Sunday as well.     Roscoe is an old dog so naps are more frequent nowadays. Sometimes we really have to look and make sure that he is still breathing. Today I think he had found the perfect spot. Right in the middle of the side yard.   [...]

Campers

| June 28, 2009

  We had two campers this weekend. Holly and Rudy are my most frequent campers and to tell the truth…my favorites. They are as different as night and day but completely adorable in their own way. We took before and after pictures this time. I guess they are really after and after pictures. The first [...]
