Sunday was Daniel’s 14th birthday! Incredible! Like Richard said, we have never regretted one day of our decision to adopt him. He is very dear to us and growing up to be a great young man. The weather was nice enough for us to play cards outside and Daniel won! […]
3 pictures in this post. I did something this past week that I had never done before: I dusted the barn! No, I didn’t take my feather duster down there but I did take my broom. Why on earth would you dust a barn, you ask? An unused barn, without […]
First photo by Hannah, the next three by Caleb. Bustop and Brownie have wangled their way into everyone’s hearts! Hannah was originally going to call the black and white cat Snow White but then Richard told her it was a boy! Bustop was the name of a cat in a […]
3 photos taken by Daniel in this post. Hannah and Caleb brought the big gray tub up from the barn and filled it with water to sit/play in. Of course they didn’t leave it clean for very long and were soon adding mud! Joys! When the kids got fed up […]

We came home last week to goslings! Ms. Toulouse had successfully hatched out four, her first time ever and she is 5 years old! Jessie (daughter-in-law) gave her to us when we were still living in Montana. One of the other white geese had hatched out one gosling but we […]
Richard spent the day on Tuesday brush hogging, a much needed job here on the farm. Needless to say he didn’t get it all finished and before he could do the rest we needed to pull up some old fence that was down the middle of one of the pastures, […]
With more snow falling yesterday it was another white day outside that greeted us this morning. Looked pretty though! It actually got above freezing this afternoon and with the sun shining it truly was a beautiful day. Here are Carly and Boris, now six weeks old. They have done really […]
