Friday Farm Favorites: Sky Aglow
Yesterday, on our way for a morning walk, Dash, Bizou, and I were met with this stunning, glowing sky. What a way to greet the day! “Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.” ~Maya Angelou
And Then There Was Bizou
For those of you who follow this blog, you may remember Maud. Maud was our beloved bluetick hound dog, who became ill in July 2015 due to an autoimmune disorder. I wrote a number of posts about her illness as well as her progress, and finally her passing on April 8, 2016. It was a joy to know Maud. She […]
Tuesday Tunes: The Glamorous Life?
This post is dedicated to our beautiful and resilient sheep: Violet, Hamish, Clover, Rosebud, Fern, Ivy, Heather, Olive, Button, and Daisy. The glamorous life? Not quite. Farm life definitely isn’t glamorous, but that’s okay. It’s fulfilling. And, it means everything to us. Farmguy and I enjoy interacting with all of our sentient, intelligent, and sweet animals. We also love that […]
Flowers, Please.

The Weekly Bleat: Thinking of Ewe
This post is dedicated to one of the strongest and most vivacious people I know– my dear and sweet friend, Rhonda, who happens to be feeling a little under the weather currently. You’ll be back to your Dancing Queen self before you know it! Love you! xoxo

Warm Woolly Sheep
Quiet, cold, and crystal clear. This is the Green Hill Farm I woke up to on Saturday morning–the first snowfall of the season. And, there’s nothing like the serene beauty of the country when it’s blanketed with snow. All of the hustle and bustle and noise just seem to stop. I breathed in the peaceful views while realizing that […]
An Afternoon With My Favorite Bubbly Blogger
I’m fortunate to be a member of my local book club–The Friday Book Club. This wonderful band of readers was established in 1935. And, this year, I have the privilege of being president. As such, I thought it would be fun and festive to ask Becky Ellis, author of The Bubby BEE to speak to all of us about sparkling wines and Champagne for the holidays. We enjoyed Becky’s presentation, and of course, her sparkling personality. Many thanks, Becky! , One of the best things about blogging is meeting fun people who share the same interests. At first glance Tonya, author of fourthgenerationfarmgirl.com, and I could not seem more different…she lives on a farm complete with chickens and sheep. I get nervous if I get too far from a city sidewalk. But we both love […] via Size Matters When Drinking Bubbles + A Sip Of English Bubbly — BubblyBEE.com
Friday Farm Favorites: The Artful Chicken
“Barbara,” 11 x 14 oil on canvas by Donna Whitmore Tuten This painting of my favorite chicken was given to me as a Christmas gift by our sweet and thoughtful friend, Donna Tuten. Donna is a talented artist with a wonderful range of ability. She paints everything from portraits to landscapes beautifully, and I think she did a fantastic […]

Some of you may not be big fans of kale, but it is really quite good, especially when combined with…
