Fast friends!


FFF Photo a Day - Day 243

The piglet is enjoying his new roommates! 

The turkey and geese have invaded his space and he doesn't seem to mind at all! 

Can't wait until he tries to get into their pool!

Creepy crawlies

It was a hot & steamy day full of picking veggies for this week's CSA. This little guy was having his lunch in the bean patch today!

Sweet Lily!


FFF Photo a Day - Day 241


Lily is fitting in very nicely on the farm, demonstrating her significant skills at manipulation in order to get what she wants.... after all who can resist such a face!

Bulls-eye!

FFF Photo a Day - Day 240

The long awaited day has arrived! This morning sometime amidst the storm and heat, Grace had her calf. 

A beautiful bull calf with the wisest old eyes.... Mom is doing well, the goats seem indifferent and big brother is acting out, just like a toddler who has been displaced! 

We are searching for a fitting name that begins with the letter G to keep the bloodline consistent... and we are having trouble deciding! Any suggestions are welcome.

The farmer's daughter....


FFF Photo a Day - Day 239

Out of everything we've raised here on the farm, one of the best is my beautiful daughter! 

Fourteen years ago today, she burst into our lives, changing it forever. Our family was complete!

Come and sit awhile...


FFF Photo a Day - Day 238

It's a beautiful day today, sunny skies with a wind to keep the bugs away... a perfect summer day. 

A day to meander and drink in the beauty around us. 

Like the willow chair that Farmer Phil made a few years back becoming one with nature out near the shed.

All Hail Caesar!



FFF Photo a Day - Day 237 

Caesar, our accidental rooster, has moved to the back field with a select group of hens... We are hopeful that they may create some little ones for us, thus have given them some privacy! 

This morning I went back to check on him and the girls, and I think he has acquired a genuine swagger!
