March 17th and spring sure seems to be here already! View Full Album...

If you live in New England, you know we are getting lots of absolutely lovely soft fluffy snow. And it’s not finished yet. It hasn’t stopped snowing so we are expecting even more by the end of tomorrow. Rich and I went skiing in our woods and up through our neighbor’s fields this afternoon. Here are...

The sun finally came back out so I just took a few pictures from my front yard of the fall colors.  ...

Warning – pictures of poop! :) About 5 nights ago I heard a pack of coyotes singing late at night when I took Sampson out to pee. Sampson has gotten very excited about smells in our yard in the morning. My neighbor saw one in her yard. And this morning, I found some serious looking scat on the path behind...

Since we moved to Huntington over five years ago, we haven't been able to get Public Television on our rabbit ears. Cable is not an option and I neither of us wanted...

We had some visitors today ... a few ladies who had wandered off from the farm about a 3/4 a mile away. Apparently they had been separated from their calves and went out looking for them. My office door was closed but the louder than normal mooing finally registered so I looked out my door and what did...
