Fun Farm Photos Friday

By 12 Comments

Too many photos, too little time to share! Today I'm throwing together a few photos from around the farm that I love, but hadn't gotten a chance to share yet. I call this one "Up and Down": I think the guinea hens love to show off the fact that they can fly higher than the chickens can! When taking photos for our recent post about our surprise rooster, now named … [Read more...]

Maine-ly Spoiled

By 19 Comments

  By Luke Keefe   The Dadz and I held down the farm so that the Momz could have a short getaway last week! The Momz works hard at all her jobs (she has about a bazillion different part-time jobs, I think, but she LOVES being self-employed), and never really has a day off (still worth it!!). She loves Maine and the ocean and tries to go at least once every … [Read more...]

Apple of My Eye

By 32 Comments

Fruits and vegetables can be multi-purpose around here, often providing Luke with some fun playtime! This is a baby apple from our overgrown trees on the property here. Once Luke was done romping around with it, he had a little snack. :) We are joining our friends at Comedy Plus for the Awww Mondays blog hop. Please visit them and other blogs through the links below! … [Read more...]

Beloved Cat

By 36 Comments

A huge thank you goes out to Lisa, owner of the Cades & Birch Etsy shop for this beautiful memorial marker for our angel cat Samantha. We are reviewing a product for Cades & Birch soon (stay tuned, there will be a giveaway as well!), and Lisa kindly offered to make us this as well. I do not consider this a sponsored post, this was a generous gift from her, with nothing … [Read more...]

The Mediocre Dog Trainer

By 33 Comments

I always wanted one of those “bomb-proof” dogs. You know the ones I mean, that are perfectly behaved, come every time you call, or stay while you walk a mile away. Maybe you have one of those dogs! I never have. I wanted Luke to be that dog, and he certainly has the potential, if only I were a more consistent trainer. Back when we had four dogs in the household, three … [Read more...]

Plant a Chicken

By 28 Comments

When you can't get flowers to grow, and all else fails - why not just plant a chicken? Mama Rhode Island Red is as pretty as any flower! The truth is, I kept trying to grow flowers in that wagon this year, but the chickens have had other ideas. They've been completely fascinated with it, digging up first the seeds I had planted, and then later almost all the little … [Read more...]

It’s the Simple Summer Things

By 26 Comments

I have to say that we are enjoying summer very much around here. Other than one "heat wave", which here in New England means three or more days of above 90 degree temperatures, and another one possibly on the way now, our weather has been beautiful. The days have been warm but comfortable, and mostly sunny. The excessive rain finally slowed down and things are drying up. At … [Read more...]

New Blooms on the Farm

By 36 Comments

Things are really blooming on the farm! It seems our wet spring really was good for everything. Not only are we seeing some new flowers this year, some of the ones we've seen in past summers in small amounts have really multiplied! These blossoms up behind the barn garden are favorites of the bees. While there's always been plants there, I don't remember getting blossoms … [Read more...]

A Surprise on the Farm

By 37 Comments

Soooo…..this happened! It took me a while to get this video, because whenever I got close with the camera, this Araucana chicken would refuse to crow, as you can see in the later part of the video. Starting far away was the only way to get it, and I included some of the other clips, just so you could see what a beauty he is! We talked about it from time to time, but we … [Read more...]

My Very Own Room

By 33 Comments

Long-time readers of ours know that our mostly-blind cat Samantha had her own wing of our house, where she could be safe from our dog Luke harassing her. Her wing consisted of my office downstairs, plus the two upstairs rooms that are in the old part of our house. While we miss Sam so much, we have to admit that we enjoy now having that part of the house open, with no gates to … [Read more...]

The Never-Ending Easter Egg Hunt

By 28 Comments

It was only two weeks ago that I wrote that the guinea hens were done with their egg laying and nesting for the season. I was wrong. Last week I was outside working on a project. The guinea hens were making a racket, which is not unusual when they are touring the yard, and as long as they are staying put it usually doesn’t mean anything, so I didn’t worry. Then I heard the … [Read more...]

The Joy of Maintenance-Free and Multi-Purpose Gardens

By 30 Comments

I love sharing photos of our flower gardens here on the farm. All the compliments I get on them make me smile, but they also make me feel a bit guilty at times! The truth is that all the big flower gardens here, and all of the perennials, were started by the previous owners of our home. We got lucky to find a home with so much beauty already in place. I don’t think I … [Read more...]
