This was my grandparents' version of creative country living when I was growing up--a house on the Mississippi River in Cassville, Wisconsin. I enjoyed many fun days visiting there and returned last month for the first time in 50 years.
Our very own Barnyard Symphony!
Thelma Lou's first snow....
We separate Thelma Lou, our calf, from Miss Emily, her mom, during the night so there will be milk for us in the mornings. They loudly express their displeasure until reunited.
If it's not a cow, it's a horse....fixing fences is the farmers job that never ends.....
Pat-A-Cake Polka at the Huntsville, AL, EFS, Home Business Co...
We had a great time calling English Country Dancing for the Educating For Success, Home Business Conference, in Huntsville, AL this past weekend. What a fun way to make new friends! :-)
Bos'n enjoying a morning scratch on the tree.
Bos'n and Aravis were enjoying a run in the rain this morning. :-)
Today was moving day from the brooder for our next batch of meat chicks! They're so happy in the grass and sunlight.
Little Thelma Lou is still small enough (born Wednesday) to fit under the electric fence, which does not make mama Emily very happy. :-)
It's a girl! We are thrilled!
As a follow-up from the fencing post....What do you do when you are hot and sweaty from fencing??? Why, cool off in the pond on the horses of course!!
Fencing is always a work in progress....
We added some heritage-breed, blue slate turkeys to our flock yesterday.
Bad traffic in the country.
Our meat chicks went to heaven today.
Putting Miss Emily back after she got out. You know what they say "the grass is greener on the other side" I know she believes that. :-)
