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.

Bill – with his girls

A pretty good resemblance, hey?

Inspiration is everywhere – meet Bill

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.

Apparently, yes… Thanks to Andrea Spalding for digging this one out of the archives! (Image courtesy Bibliothèque Nationale de France)

Rosa – early morning march

It’s amazing how Rosa (one of the rescued cats from Mexico) doesn’t stroll or saunter along the top rail of the fence. She marches, steps out like she has a whole empty highway beneath her. Next time I feel hesitant, worried about safety nets, or unsure about taking the next step, I’m going to think about Rosa who has adapted so well to her new life here and strides forward like she owns the… fence.
