Why lie down…

Cora has figured out she can keep eating if she lets the piglets nurse while she is standing up. It looks quite comical, as if they are propping her up!

This autumnal loveliness…

Posted on October 23, 2013 | 2 comments

… Is hurting my eyes! Not really- everything is too soft and muted for that. But holy moley, every day brings some new ‘must stop a moment’ vista I can’t resist. My phone is feeling heavy with the weight of all that fog I’m stashing away inside. This photo was taken down at my neighbour’s pond where I lease a bit of land for sheep. They also have ewes, so we keep our sheep together and share the responsibilities of caring for them. I have the morning rounds which means I get to enjoy this sort of view every day while I’m digesting my oatmeal.

Foggy fall days

Even in the middle of tossing hay down from the barn loft, there are moments in these foggy autumn days that force me to stop, take note, and be happy.

Inspiration is everywhere – meet Bill

Posted on October 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

Bill is our Light Brahma rooster, a fine protector of hens and father of a lovely crop of pullets and cockerels, the latter who have been gracing our table over the past few weeks. Bill is also handsome, a trait which Dad captured perfectly in this portrait. Dad’s website has more samples of his work, if you are curious about what he does.
