Luke has a tendency to either look serious or to look away when I try to take his photo, so I was very pleased yesterday when he was smiling for the camera! We were out on a walk and apparently he was very happy about that. I just love it when he smiles! Thank you to our friends at Comedy Plus for hosting the Wordless Wednesday blog hop.

What’s Bugging Us?
All winter long here in New England we wait and dream about spring and summer, about being outdoors and enjoying the warm weather. When it finally gets here, we do….but the insects around here are doing their best to ruin it. Our cool and wet spring has made it a banner year for the bugs. While our crops are growing slowly, waiting for more heat and sunshine, the bugs seem to … [Read more...]
Early Morning Walks
On this Thankful Thursday, Luke and I are thinking about how thankful we are for our (almost) daily walks. What I love about this time of year is that we don't have to wait until later in the morning for it to warm up before going for our walks. It's the opposite instead, we try to go early to beat the heat - not that we've really had much heat yet! Because the bugs are … [Read more...]
Happy Tuesday – Chicks!

We are pleased to be joining our friends at Comedy Plus for the Happy Tuesday blog hop! Please visit them and other blogs through the links below. … [Read more...]
Nature & Farm Friday – Movin’ On Up
The chicks have moved out to the big coop! They are excited, even though a bit overwhelmed sometimes, at their new space. We moved the dog crate they were in, along with their heater, so they can feel more comfortable and be able to get some warmth too. They are still filling in their feathers and the nights are still cool, so they'll keep their heater for a while … [Read more...]

Good Morning Sunshine!
For the first time this spring, I had the time and we had the sunshine so I could sit out on the deck Sunday morning and enjoy my coffee in the warmth of the early morning sun. *This post contains affiliate links.

Nature & Farm Friday – Updates
It's still busy, busy around here! Planting is underway but not quite finished. The weather has been uncooperative, but with three days of sunshine and warmth promised now, the goal is to have everything in the ground by the end of the weekend! I did find some time on a finally sunny afternoon to get out my camera and take some photos of the beauty Mother Nature has given us … [Read more...]
This Dog – This Crazy, Lovable Dog!
*This post contains affiliate links. We may receive a small commission if you order through those links.* This dog: -Challenges me every day. Just when we think we have all Luke's idiosyncrasies figured out – not fixed, but at least we know what they are! – he comes up with something new. The latest thing has been not letting us put his collar on him. I like to change his … [Read more...]
Life with Guinea Hens – Story 6
We first decided to add guinea hens to our flock two summers ago, and I wrote about some of the reasons we did so in our Post “First Line of Defense – Guinea Fowl”. One reason I didn’t list was unexpected for us, and it has turned out to be the most important one – they are very entertaining! While they can be a lot of work – they are messy when raising them in the brooder, … [Read more...]
An Exercise in Futility
Raise your hand if your dog or cat likes to "help" you make the bed!! I wonder what their motivation is? Do they just think we humans are silly for making the bed every morning (if that's what you do), just to unmake it every night? It does seem kind of like a futile exercise, doesn't it? Some mornings I might think "maybe today I'll skip making the bed", especially if … [Read more...]
Nature Friday – Fun Finds in Our Woods
When walking Luke yesterday morning, I was excited to spot a wildflower called a Painted Trillium right along one of our trails! There are different varieties of trilliums in New Hampshire, and back in the days when we used to camp and hike a lot in the White Mountains and their foothills, Trilliums were some of the first flowers we'd ever see along the trails in the … [Read more...]

Busy Times on the Farm
If we've seemed a little MIA lately (did anyone even notice, ha ha?) - either here on the blog or in visiting our other blog friends, all is fine here, we're just very busy! Spring is our busiest time of the year here on the farm. While yard cleanup is mostly done, the early veggies are popping up, and the seedlings are growing quickly, there is still a lot more to do! We … [Read more...]
New Arrivals to the Farm!
Welcome our new little ones! These 12 chicks are settling in nicely, making a mess, and growing already! This time we got 5 different breeds: 2 Black Sexlink, 2 White Leghorn (prolific egg layers), 2 Columbian Rock Cross, 2 Rhode Island White, and 4 Araucana (we're still hoping for those blue or green eggs!). I was surprised to find that 7 of these chicks are … [Read more...]
