In the featured image, tucked up close to our A/C, was a small turtle. Three of our grandchildren were checking her out with Papaw. She was going over to the small puddle of water, then “Racing” back to coverage. Her daily water gathered from drips from the faucet outside when we watered the goats, ducks, …
Yesterday was more of a Goat Day, and all around ended up being a Good Day! 6:30 a.m. I was prepared to conquer the world, at least to conquer my desk and all the notes and writing ideas piling up. But, like anything in life, there are detours. My detour was 11 Goats and how …
My name is Sampson, and I am the baby of Delilah and Moses. My momma, a Nubian, is the best at getting under fences, climbing over hay bales, chewing through bungee cords, and pushing in one spot till she breaks free. She gets out and enjoys the other pasture until she gets bored. She works …

This Chicken Coop pictured here, has certainly seen a lot of hours of work clearing and repairing it for the young Chicks to stay safe from predators. We are enjoying raising chicks, ducklings, and goslings from the days old stage. This whole experience has been a brand new adventure! At first we had the chicks …
