I'm having a rough day today. It's 90+
degrees out, which is just too hot for me...I'll find stuff to do
indoors rather than be out in it, but it's hard not to feel like I

Another busy week here on the farm! Last week was full of excitement. As I began the early Saturday garden rounds, I heard a soft noise coming from the turkey nest by the old greenhouse. I knew that the Royal Palm hen had been sitting on a few...

Last Monday, Dan had to go out of town for work. He wasn't sure if he'd be gone for the day or for the better part of the week. While I am very comfortable with all the animals, things always seem to go a bit goofy when I'm here alone. I...

April showers are still falling here at the farm, making it hard to get much done outside these days. I've been so excited to spend my first spring on the farm full time and have been anxiously awaiting conditions outside to dry out so we can begin the spring...

I am sure this farm does not run like a well-oiled machine.
Matter of fact there seems to be only one thing that every species of animal
agrees on around here. Can you guess what that is? That is right F-O-O-D. It

It is soggy today so after fixing the fence where the billy escaped I went to De Jongs Dairy to visit Santa and his cow! The dairy is about 2 miles from here and sells milk right on site. Herman has a calf in the hay barn and Santa is there too! It is so nice...

When I was little, I called myself a "country girl." No matter that I lived in a suburb of San Fransisco, no matter that we had neighbors 10 feet from our exterior walls, no matter that our house took up pretty much the whole city lot of 50'x150'. I...
