Guess What I Found? By Luke Keefe One of the best things about going for a walk, is that sometimes you find a treasure out there! That very thing happened to me this last week. The Momz and I were walking along the road, and you’ll never guess what I found right on the side of the road! Yup, that’s a turkey feather all right! We’ve been seeing a lot of wild turkeys … [Read more...]
Movin’ On Up
The mini-guineas have made the big move out to the coop! Now that the chicken pullets are integrated with the rest of the flock (although they still try to avoid everyone), the cage was open for the next round of newbies. The minis have been growing fast, but they look small out in their new big digs! It's an upgrade with a hanging waterer, wide and sturdy roost, and a … [Read more...]
Life with Guinea Hens – Story 2
We first decided to add guinea hens to our flock last summer, 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...]
Farm & Flower Friday – Mellow Yellow
The flowers around here seem to come out in color groups. Late June/early July was our yellow phase. I don't really find yellow to be a mellow color, I just like to rhyme. Yellow is bright and cheerful and has long been my favorite color. The yellows here are mostly gone by now, but they were beautiful when they were around! The foxglove seen below is more of a creamy, … [Read more...]

Dog Sports – For Competition or Just for Fun & Enrichment
Sometimes I feel a bit envious when I see many of my dog blogger friends displaying ribbons that their dogs won at their latest competition. Mostly I just feel happy for them, but there’s that little twinge…. When we first brought Luke home I had dreams of competing in agility with him. Then we found out he had bad knees; and running and jumping are not good for him. When I … [Read more...]
Pet Memorial Garden Update on Flower Friday
I've been anxious to share our completed new pet memorial garden this year, ever since we first told you about it back in April and May. It's been a work in progress, but has not yet reached completion! It probably won't be completed this year - we've had too many projects this spring and summer around the farm. The Dadz needs to put a step in front of it, and shore it up … [Read more...]
Thankful for Fresh Air & Sunshine
One of the ways we most enjoy purr-suing health and happiness around here is by getting outside and getting lots of fresh air. We are thankful that, overall, it's been a beautiful summer here and we've been making the most of it! While we've had some very hot and then some rainy spells, there always seems to still be times we can get outside. Here the crew shows you just … [Read more...]

#PetPhotoFails Blog Hop – Samantha’s Payback
Back when we joined the first Pet Photo Fails blog hop, I lamented that we might not have any more photo bomb photos now that we're a one dog household. I proved myself wrong by sharing a photo of two of our guinea hens photo bombing our cat Samantha when she was on one of her outdoor (supervised) adventures. Well, Samantha wasn't going to stand for that, so she was just … [Read more...]
Keeping My Dog Naturally Healthy & Happy with HempMy Pet
It was about a year ago when I first tried CBD/hemp treats and CBD oil for dogs. These products were beginning to gain popularity at that point, and I was starting to hear good reports of benefits to dogs’ joints, anxieties, and even reductions in seizures and help with cancer. I decided to try it with Luke, and while at first we didn’t, later we had some success. It seemed to … [Read more...]
Monday Fun Day – Hatching Guinea Keets
Watching our own little guinea hen "keets" hatch was such a fun experience, we wanted to share! I took a few videos in a row while watching the #5 (out of 6 total) egg hatch. It can take a while from the time you first see an egg moving, so I paused at times when not much was going on and tried to continue when more progress was made. When this video starts, the egg we're … [Read more...]
Farm & Flower Friday – Freedom & Favorites
If you are a regular reader of our blog, you already know we've had a lot going on around here on our little farm this spring and summer! Back in May we added 8 new chicks to our flock, and just last week we hatched our own 6 guinea hen keets. It's a lot of work increasing the flock. The newbies start out in a brooder (we use a dog crate with a heater), then move to the coop … [Read more...]

Three Keys to Grooming Your Senior Cat
Our cat Samantha is our first long-haired cat, and only our third to live past the age of 15. Senior cats can bring challenges; though I don't remember my first senior, Concha, having the same issues as our cat Conrad did and now Samantha does. One of the differences might be that Concha was an outdoor cat (it was many years ago we had her). Conrad started out as an outdoor cat … [Read more...]
