Hoping all your favourite things come your way...

Happy Spring

This is my very favourite time of year........except.........I get a heavy duty case of spring fever and feel the need to go out shopping for ....something! A new house, new dogs, new horses, etc. etc...I should be on house arrest until the end of May when I've calmed down a little.

I did get a new little addition to the family...puppy Otis:

He is funny and clever and now we have quite a little pack on our walks around the fields.

I've been scouring the horses for sale ads online to find a nice companion horse for Willie. Our senior horse passed away in the fall at the grand age of 35. I hope we find another like him!

Speaking of Baseball...

Santa has his own farm team. Future sleigh stars are being carefully scouted by barn cat for a coveted spot on Santa's team next year.

Three Sheep to the Wind.....

On these crisp fall days, there's nothing like a drive along leaf-strewn back roads to take in the beautiful colours, stopping at a market stand to pick up an apple pie or some buttertarts for dessert later.

Note to self: try to keep wine consumption on the moderate side.

Giving Thanks

Nerves are strung a little tightly around the farm as Thanksgiving approaches. Mr. Turkey has taken to hiding behind the shrubbery and even Lucky Duck is lying low. The hens don't worry too much, they know their job is just to lay an egg once in awhile, not be part of the chicken soup. The horses wonder if their contract will be renewed for another year and the cows, well.....until we all go vegan..........

All that we behold is full of blessings -- William Wordsworth

Something for Ewe





We can really feel the change in the air; the nights are cool, the leaves are changing, and school buses on the roads all give us that feeling that fall is here. The hens are starting to lose their summer feathers and will be just about naked by the time the really cold nights get here at the end of October. I can't figure that one out...but I'd better get knitting!

Here is my "Just for Ewe" series; everything from Birthdays, Thank Ewe and Hope Ewe Feel Better Soon!
