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…
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…
Here on Apple Tree Farm
I’ve got a busy, busy day ahead of me (Meals On Wheels, hair appointment, errands and a meeting of our city’s Multicultural Committee) so I’ll just share a few pictures this morning: My tomato plants are loaded and that makes me happy: I took this Sunday morning while walking Shiloh before church: And this one….
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 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…
Spring is busting out all over Apple Tree Farm
Last week Gentilly (aka “Tilly”) had her babies. I’d been suggesting she just have three rather than the five or six our cats generally like to have. She did pretty good and just had four. Most of our cats have been mostly black. We’ve had the occasional striped kitty and a gray one (poor Gracie…
Shiloh
We haven’t had a dog for about a year and a half. Our sweet Pyrenees, Duke, disappeared – we think someone shot him. Then Emily died and Iggy, the dog I rescued off the highway disappeared about the same time. For the first time in my life, I was dog-less. We could have gone out…
Oh, deer…
This morning David noticed this in our backyard: He told me about it when he came upstairs to finish getting ready for work so of course I had to go check it out. I took that first photo through our needs-to-be-washed sliding glass door because I didn’t want to frighten it off by opening the…
