After a rainy night it is about 71 degrees with 83% humidity. I took Shiloh for a walk and was utterly enchanted by the bird song. I also saw a deer but wasn’t able to capture it on video. Turn up your sound and listen: Sometimes I am absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude for this place…
Keeping busy
First, how about an “Autumn on Apple Tree Farm” picture? I took this while walking Shiloh this morning: So, what have we been up to the past several days? Well, it hasn’t been sleeping, that’s for certain. This past Thursday we went to see Mary Poppins at the McSwain Theater here in town (they show…
Oklahoma birdsong
I took this short video today while walking Shiloh. I wanted to share the birdsong – it’s like living in a bird sanctuary out here! You can also see Shiloh’s summer haircut.
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 21 – Taking a break
When I started this series I hadn’t really considered the fact that we would be leaving for New Orleans on the 25th. And then I had this notion that I could write extra posts and schedule them to post each day while I’m gone. As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men……
Friday on Apple Tree Farm
One of the unexpected benefits of having a dog is that I now spend more time walking around our property. We don’t have a fenced area for him yet so we take him for walks on a leash – don’t want to chance him running off and getting hurt. I may not be so thrilled…
Hanging out at Apple Tree Farm
I had intended to plant some colorful flowers in this large bowl on our porch table but I think these are way cuter: Shiloh getting an early morning drink from the pond: There are homegrown tomatoes in my near future: We had a nice rain shower yesterday morning: Peace in the rain: I’m picking up…
In the good ol’ summertime…
I took this shot as I was driving in our driveway the other day. I want to make sure I have photos of the “in between” stage of our exterior renovations. I love the way the log siding looks with the stone and am eager to see it finished. The white railing on the balcony…
In which I embrace my inner crazy cat lady
Just a wee glimpse into our life here on Apple Tree Farm. First up, a close-up of our sweet Shiloh’s precious face. He looks rather serious here: But he usually looks like he’s smiling: That last one was of him in all his furry glory, just after having the pins and external fixator removed from…
And then there were nine…
I had been planning to get Dharma spayed after we get back from New Orleans. However I noticed this past week or two that she looked a little, um, broad? I was hoping she was just fat but this morning she presented us with five kittens (plus one that didn’t make it). Along with Tillie’s…
