Much as they are a ton of fun to watch, and they give us tons of eggs (one each and every day!), it’s not all about the chickens here! I thought that maybe some of you might be curious as to how the big city cat is getting along in the […]
Other than buying the house and getting a puppy, there was nothing Fallon was more passionately eager for than SNOW!!! All of you who know and love Fallon, know that she goes absolutely rainbow lollipop crazy at the possibility that snow is going to arrive. So starting some time around […]
So we have snuggled into our respective nests – lovely wood fires keeping us warm – and no big projects on the go right now. So you might be wondering what you do in the winter, in the middle of nowhere, when you have no outside forms of entertainment. […]
