After a long day of working at the vet I made the long trek home to take care of the animals before bed. Dan has his hands full getting Mae taken care of so I just get everyone tucked away with a head lamp and my bright headlights on the car. Ozzie our silkie rooster followed me into the chicken pen a few days ago and is now acting like he has always gotten along with everyone! He had a history of not playing nice but hasn't shown any aggression in a few days so I think he is deciding...
Market Day.

Wow. Today was a long day. It started when I woke up at 4:15am. This has been the case every day for about a week. No explanations. I moseyed on downstairs to watch an episode of Stranger Things on Netflix while the girls continues sleeping. Made some coffee and settled into my recliner for some chill time. Once 6 oclock came and I heard the girls starting to come to, I threw together a quick breakfast for us. Mae was other-worldly this morning. A complete terror. Nothing made her happy and from 6:00 until I left for the market she...
Squashed.

So we're coming to the end of our summer squash crop but at the same time our little turnip seedlings are doing quite well. As usual while sowing the seeds with Mae her and Beth planted too many too close together so today they will work at thinning the seedlings out so that we have a successful harvest. Beth is home with Mae today and preserving acorn squash for the winter. The acorn squash doesn't keep long after harvest like butternut squash does so they will be baking and mashing them to freeze. None of the squash goes to waste...
Some play on a farm.

Up at 7 this morning but Mae was pretty fussy all night, woke up talking about it being winter time and snow on the ground. Beth went to get the animals taken care of and milk Marilyn. While Beth was milking Marilyn she was thinking about the Stafford Farmers Market coming up next Saturday. Will it be busy? Will people like the Spiced Apple Cider and Pumpkin Crunch Cake or Smores candles? Her thoughts were interrupted by Lila our wild child of a goat barreling into the garage. She has separation anxiety when Marilyn is away from her, and she...
Christmas already?

Up early with Mae this morning. Paying for the 7:20 wake up yesterday. As usual Ozzie the silkie rooster starts a chorus of cockadoodledoos between him and the other two Roosters. With a chilly night, Walter, our needy cat was glued to Beth under the covers all night. Walter is quite literally obsessed with Beth. When we adopted him as a 4 week old kitten he was less than half a pound, with pneumonia and such a high parasite count that he had a pretty severe heart murmur. Beth sat up with him many nights certain each breath would be...
