Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Halloween

This week I will be once again discussing a human-related phenomenon.  This is starting to be kind of a trend… Every year, the young humans spend many hours carefully sewing and gluing bits of colored furs together.  The completed products differ year to year, but they are usually brightly colored and very unnatural.  It appears … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Halloween

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of House-Fur

This week I will discuss yet another fur-related mystery I uncovered.  For the last few years, the house has been slowly shedding its fur.  Strangely, the house-fur sheds off in thin flakes, almost like snow.  Perhaps the house has some kind of special fur, similar to how the sheep have wool?  Adding to my confusions, … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of House-Fur

Mickey’s Breaking Mews #6

Many things have happened on my farm since the last Breaking Mews.  Here is a brief recap of the most notable events.  Last week saw two different deliveries.  First, a huge, smelly creature came and dumped out a pile of split wood in the middle of the sheep path.  Over the next few days, my … Continue reading Mickey’s Breaking Mews #6

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Winter Preparations

This week I will be discussing a topic that is happening all around me – Winter Preparations!  Now that the weather is getting colder and the days are growing shorter, my humans and subjects are beginning to get ready for the many months of snow and ice.  To read my Musing about Winter, see the … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Winter Preparations

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of 3:30 am

In this week’s Musing I am going to discuss the most glorious time of my day; 3:30 am.    I am not sure what it is about this mystical time that makes it so special to me. Perhaps it is the power of the moon, or the silence of the house that enhances the magic … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of 3:30 am

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Fall

In the past, I Mused about both Winter and Summer.  It seems appropriate to give Fall the same treatment. Summer and Winter are complete opposites.  Summer is the greatest time of year; a time when you can spend all day taking naps and hunting prey outside.  On the other hand, Winter is the most terrible … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Fall

Mickey’s Breaking Mews #5

More rabbits escaped.  Somehow my humans keep getting outsmarted by these RODENTS! I assumed that after all of the training I put my human servants through; they wouldn’t be so foolish!  Over the past few days, boy and girl rabbits have dug out of their cages.  Thankfully, my humans were able to find enough intelligence … Continue reading Mickey’s Breaking Mews #5

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Rain

This week I am discussing a topic I had completely forgotten about; Rain.  Honestly, I’m shocked I haven’t done this before! It is the general opinion of cats that rain is one of the worst things in existence.  Since the dawn of time cats have hated getting wet, and rain is one of the main … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Rain

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Humans’ New Habits

Before I begin this week’s musing, I would like to apologize for letting my human write the article last week. For some reason my foolish writing human decided that he would write a story without even checking to make sure I was fine with it!  Fortunately,  I was feeling merciful or else I suspect I … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Humans’ New Habits

Sadie’s Shirt

This week’s article is the first one I have written in quite awhile!  From what I have read, King Mickey seems to be doing a great job with his weekly Mews and Musings.  I figured I would give him a well deserved break this week and explain something rather interesting that has been going on … Continue reading Sadie’s Shirt

Mickey’s Breaking Mews #4

Thursday, August 15th My humans began to clear a strip of brush next to the sheep paddock.  I watched them for several hours, and I am yet to find what purpose this has.  Perhaps they are building some new barn, or expanding the current sheep paddock?  The only thing I am certain of is that … Continue reading Mickey’s Breaking Mews #4

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Pond

Before I begin my Musing, I would like to apologize for the lack of article last week.  The writing human and I try to upload every week, but last week there was no way either of us could have written a story. For those of you who don’t know, there is a large pool of … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Pond

Mickey’s Breaking Mews #3

This week’s Breaking Mews will be different than the previous two.  Instead of recapping all the interesting events that have occurred in the past week, I will be doing a special program focusing on the ‘Great Rabbit Escape’ I mentioned at the end of the article last week. Since 8 of the 11 male rabbits … Continue reading Mickey’s Breaking Mews #3

Mickey’s Breaking Mews! #2

Sunday, July 21st My humans spent a large portion of the day cleaning out the sheep paddock. They do this frequently, so at the time I didn’t find this alarming. I assumed that my humans were simply removing the loose hay and other unpleasant substances. Monday, July 22nd Well, I was wrong. Sometime in the … Continue reading Mickey’s Breaking Mews! #2

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Cold-Makers

This week’s musing is about the mysterious Cold-Makers. Every summer, my humans bring down from the attic two large, white boxes with tails.  The strange boxes are placed next to windows and the long tails coming out the back are passed through the window. On hot days, the boxes make loud whirring sounds and blow … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Cold-Makers

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Summer

This week I will be discussing the greatest of all seasons; Summer.  Unlike winter, summer is an amazing time to be a cat.  Summer does have its downsides, such as the incredible heat, but overall, it’s a wonderful time of the year. During the summer I normally spend most of the day outside.  The constant … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Summer

Mickey’s Breaking Mews! #1

This week I am proud to begin the newest series on this site; ‘Breaking Mews!’  In this series I will be recapping anything interesting or noteworthy that has occurred on my farm in the past week or two.  Before I begin, I would like to make several things clear.  I will be using the human … Continue reading Mickey’s Breaking Mews! #1

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Sheep Shearing

Before I begin this week’s musing, I would like to thank everyone for your support of last week’s article!  It’s obvious to me that all of the viewers agree that I, not my foolish human, should be the main author on this site. With that out of the way… on to the musing! Every year, … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Sheep Shearing

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Article 50!

This week, I am proud to announce that this is the 50th article on this blog!  In order to make this week special, my writing human and I have discussed and agreed upon several changes to the site. New Series I will be writing a new series!  I am still working on the name, but … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Article 50!

The Changing of the Guard

For those of you who haven’t completed last week’s poll, I would really appreciate it if you took the time to do so. https://talesofafarm.home.blog/2019/06/14/a-quick-poll-2-some-announcements/.

Your (amazing!) input has been taken into consideration for … Continue reading The Changing of the Guard

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Birds

This week I will be discussing the several instances during which my house has been invaded by feathered fiends.  Periodically, a few small birds will fly down the sky-pipe, and end up in the house.  This usually happens either when my humans are asleep, or when they aren’t home; meaning I’m the first, and only, … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Birds

A Quick Poll (2) + Some Announcements

This week I have decided to do a short survey instead of the usual article.  I did one of these a while ago, but I have some newer followers, and I would like to hear everyone’s opinions.  This poll has different questions than the last one.  It’s short, and should only take about 2 minutes.  … Continue reading A Quick Poll (2) + Some Announcements

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Collar

This week I will be discussing one of my past frustrations with the humans. This story is an old one, dating back to when I was just a wee little kitten. For some reason, my humans thought it would be a good idea to clip a rope-like loop around my neck. It wasn’t that large, … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Collar

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Mickey Olympics

This week I am going to discuss what I like to call the Mickey Olympics; a series of extreme, high risk challenges that I have designed to test the physical endurance of any cat. Each event has been specifically modeled after an activity I do in my everyday life.  You must complete each challenge in … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Mickey Olympics

Mass Bunny Breakouts

I realized I have not yet mentioned our rabbits.  Compared to the other animals on the farm, they have produced the least amount of noteworthy stories.  But, that doesn’t mean they don’t perform plenty of their own shenanigans.  One thing the rabbits do more frequently than any other animals is… Escape! We have quite a … Continue reading Mass Bunny Breakouts

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Vet

This week I will discuss one of the few instances my humans have dared to disobey me. In last week’s article I mentioned that I had never ridden in one of the humans’ ‘cars’.  I suspect that my humans might have read that, as earlier this week they took me for a ride.   It started … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Vet

The Tales of the Trail Cam

We have always been interested in what animals pass through our backyard.  This March we were given a trail camera, and we could think of no better place to put it.  We didn’t expect much, maybe only a few pictures of the dogs, the cat, or us.  What the camera picked up was quite an … Continue reading The Tales of the Trail Cam

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Cars

My humans are very lazy.  Whenever they have to travel a substantial distance they insist on riding in their cars, instead of walking. Almost every day my humans get in their cars and drive off for a couple of hours. The question is; where do they go? This is one of my biggest mysteries.  I … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Cars

Full Moon, Full Crazy

For those of you who don’t know, the full moon is tomorrow night (May 18th).  I thought this would be a perfect time to talk about all the crazy stuff that happens on the farm around a full moon.  Before I start, I thought it might be a good idea to give some info about … Continue reading Full Moon, Full Crazy

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Rewarding My Subjects

This week I will be discussing the many ways I reward my servants.   Sometimes one of my many subjects will go above and beyond when they are serving me, and I feel I should show my gratitude.  I reward my subjects in many ways, but here are a few examples. After I have finished hunting … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Rewarding My Subjects

Sheep: A New Shearing

The past 4 years we have shorn our flock of Shetland sheep ourselves. It was horrible.  Not wanting to hire someone to do it, we spent two full weekends per year in the blazing sun, getting eaten alive by bugs, to shear 11 sheep.  Our record was 40 minutes for ONE sheep, but most took … Continue reading Sheep: A New Shearing

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Defending My Kingdom (Part 2)

This week is a continuation of last week’s topic; Defending My Kingdom.  If have not read last week’s article, I highly suggest you do: https://talesofafarm.home.blog/2019/04/29/mickeys-monday-musings-wisdom-of-the-cat-on-the-topic-of-defending-my-kingdom-part-1/ Return of the ‘Possum As opposed to last week’s story, which took place many years ago, this one is far more recent; only about two weeks ago.  Before the story … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Defending My Kingdom (Part 2)

We Get Sappy Over Sap

Before we had a farm we always wanted to make maple syrup. All of the farm books you read make it sound super easy.  Turns out it’s not. In the past five years we have made maple syrup three times.   We tend to alternate years, as we either have plenty of syrup left over from … Continue reading We Get Sappy Over Sap

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Defending My Kingdom (Part 1)

This week I will discuss the times I have had to defend my kingdom from various threats.  Many of them have come from outside of my boundaries, while some have come from within.  This will be a two part article, with the second part coming next week. Before I discuss the many attacks I have … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Defending My Kingdom (Part 1)

The ‘Kinkless’ Hose

We use water hoses.  They are like the veins of the farm.  Over the years we have strung out hundreds of feet of hose to all of our different animal enclosures.  During the summer it is crucial that the hoses be operational, as the animals drink too much water for us to refill their dishes … Continue reading The ‘Kinkless’ Hose

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Summoning My Humans

This week I would like to discuss the many lengths I go through to get the attention of my humans.   My humans are quite foolish.  For some reason they do not seem to understand their basic responsibilities as my servants.  Whenever I need them to do something (which happens about 15 times a day) … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Summoning My Humans

Predator Proofing Part 2

This week’s article is a continuation of last week’s topic: https://talesofafarm.home.blog/2019/04/12/predator-proofing-part-1/.  Over the years we have gone to great lengths to defend our flock from predators. Here is another not-so-epic tale. Enjoy! In the Fall of 2018 our flock was terrorized by an unknown predator.  We started to notice that some of our chickens were … Continue reading Predator Proofing Part 2

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Catwalks

This week I have chosen to discuss the network of walkways, also known as fences, which the humans have installed for me. Many years ago, the humans came to the realization that as the Cat-God, it would be almost unlawful for my paws to touch the ground.  So, they installed a network of elevated catwalks … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Catwalks

Predator Proofing Part 1

Continuing the chicken theme, this week’s article is all about the many lengths we have gone to keep our flock safe.  This is going to be a two part story. Part two will be released next week. Enjoy! Bear and Tear This is a story that heavily ties into last week’s article: https://talesofafarm.home.blog/2019/04/05/the-good-ol-chicken-trailer/ .  Some … Continue reading Predator Proofing Part 1

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Hot and Cold Boxes

This week I have chosen to discuss some more of the humans’ devices that confuse me – the hot box and the cold box.  I briefly discussed this topic in “The Humans’ Weird Habits”, but I felt they deserved their own article. For those of you who don’t know, the hot box is a large … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Hot and Cold Boxes

The Good Ol’ Chicken Trailer

This story starts way back in the Fall of 2011.  At the time we were living in a rental house. We knew we were only going to stay there temporarily, but we didn’t know exactly when we were going to move out. Our flock of chickens was smaller than it is now, only about 20 … Continue reading The Good Ol’ Chicken Trailer

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Window Box

Lately the humans have been spending hours every week in front of the fake window. For those of you who don’t know, the fake window is a black box with glass on one side that the humans have placed in their main room.  The box is quite large, but also very thin, and it stands … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Window Box

Rooster Mania

The Tale of Rorin Psycho-Chicken Back in the spring of 2016 one of our hens hatched a single chick. For the first couple of weeks she took good care of it, but after a little while the poor little thing was abandoned.  The chick was too small to live outside by itself, so we brought … Continue reading Rooster Mania

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Humans’ Weird Habits

This week I have chosen to discuss yet another topic that I find extremely confusing – the humans’ weird habits. Over many years of living with them, I have been continually perplexed by a number of things that they do every day.  Not only are many of these habits HIGHLY inefficient, but some just don’t … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Humans’ Weird Habits

The Doggy Donut

Yet another story about our 3 year old Yellow Labrador, Sadie. Enjoy! Soaked to the Skin Sadie loves to swim. We always joke that Labs are semi-aquatic! We have a small spring fed pond on our property that of course, is Sadie’s favorite place.  This past summer it was extremely hot and Sadie cooled off … Continue reading The Doggy Donut

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Piggies

Last week I discussed how the humans torment me with Rabbits.  As a continuation of that topic, this week I will discuss another of the humans’ pet rodents – The Piggies. Or as they are more commonly known - Guinea Pigs.  Guinea pigs are yet another animal the humans torment me with. Although unlike the … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Piggies

Shelter ‘Solutions’

For those of you who haven’t had the chance yet, here is the link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F3QXYCF. Enjoy this week’s story! The Wet Wool On the farm, we are always trying to repair or improve our various … Continue reading Shelter ‘Solutions’

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Rabbits

This week I have chosen a topic that has puzzled me for years on end – Rabbits.  One of my favorite pastimes in the summer is hunting for rabbits in a nearby bramble thicket.  The whole place is infested with them and their burrows.  I try to catch at least one rabbit each week. I … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Rabbits

A Short Poll

I am considering a new article posting schedule and decided to do a quick poll (3 questions) to obtain viewer preferences.  I would really appreciate a few moments of your time to get your feedback.  Feel free to leave any additional comments or questions below. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F3QXYCF Thank you! -The Caretaker       

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Trees

This week I have chosen to discuss my favorite climbing areas – Trees.  I feel that trees have been provided to me as my personal climbing posts.  I have done extensive testing on the different surfaces at my disposal (including such favorites as the humans, the walls, and the couch), and I have deemed trees … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Trees

Woolly Tales

This article is part two of the series about our flock of Shetland sheep. For the first part click here: https://talesofafarm.home.blog/2019/02/22/adventures-of-the-flock/ Shear Madness One of the reasons we wanted to get sheep is so we could shear them for wool.  Although we originally wanted to use the wool for something, we have yet to do … Continue reading Woolly Tales

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Horses

This week I have chosen to discuss the largest and potentially scariest animals on the farm – The Horses.  Of all of my subjects, I am least fond of the Horses.  For some reason they refuse to accept that I, Mickey, am the one true Cat-God. Even though I have tried to tell them many … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Horses

Adventures of the Flock

This is the beginning of a series covering the many adventures of our flock of Shetland sheep. Enjoy! Fenced Up This story takes place shortly after we got our sheep. At the time we only had one ewe and her lamb, plus a young ram.  The sheep first lived in a large outdoor shed for … Continue reading Adventures of the Flock

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Winter

This week I have chosen to discuss a topic that I am currently quite familiar with. Winter.  For a couple of months every year the world is covered in a cold white powder (I believe the humans call it snow) while the temperature drops to unpleasant levels. Due to this (and several other things) I … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Winter

The Persistent ‘Possum

This story takes place back in the fall of 2015.  Sometime in early September we had begun to notice that we were getting far fewer eggs.  For almost a week we wondered what was happening, thinking maybe some of the hens had gotten too old to lay eggs.  One night, as we opened the coop, … Continue reading The Persistent ‘Possum

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Nighttime

This week, I have chosen a topic that I find quite confusing; nighttime.  I understand that it gets dark; but I don’t understand why the humans go to sleep.  For some reason the foolish humans chose to sleep for the entire night, instead of taking naps throughout the day. Like, what do they do during … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Nighttime

Sadie the Thief

This article is the second and final part in my series about our Yellow Labrador Retriever, Sadie. I highly recommend you read the first part of the series: https://talesofafarm.home.blog/2019/02/01/sadie-the-con-artist/ .  Enjoy! Sadie loves socks. She doesn’t just like them, she adores them.  Ever since Sadie was a puppy she has been stealing any and all … Continue reading Sadie the Thief

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Big Dog

For this week’s topic I have chosen the Big Dog, as I covered the Little Dog last week.  I have found that the Big Dog, whom the humans call ‘Sadie’ is the complete opposite of Sparky.  While Sadie does seem to understand that I am the highest life form, she doesn’t worship me as Sparky … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Big Dog

Sadie the Con-Artist

So… this article is the start of a series I am doing about our Yellow Labrador Sadie. Enjoy! When we first got Sadie, back in the fall of 2016, she couldn’t walk up the stairs to our second story. She was still a puppy, and her legs were too short to reach from step to … Continue reading Sadie the Con-Artist

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Naps

For this week’s article I have chosen my favorite topic – napping - or as I like to call it, ‘the foundation of life’.  As a cat, I feel it is important that I achieve maximum productivity, so I usually sleep for about 19 - 20 hours a day.  I wish it was more, but … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Naps

When We Had a House Sheep

Back in the spring of 2016, during our first set of lambs, one of our ewes had twins.  These were the first lambs to be born on our farm!  We knew that the mother was pregnant, but we didn’t know when the lambs would be born. One day, as we were feeding them, we heard … Continue reading When We Had a House Sheep

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Little Dog

This week, I have chosen one of my favorite animals.  I believe the humans call her Sparky, but I know her as Little Dog.  Now, Sparky is one of my most devoted disciples.  She waits on me paw and tail, obeying my every command. I could not ask for a more devoted servant.  I would … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of the Little Dog

Sparky’s Many Friends

Our five year old Chihuahua – Terrier Sparky has made many friends over the years.  Most of them were an accident.  One day, a few weeks after we had adopted her as a puppy, the mail carrier pulled into our driveway to deliver a package.  It was early summer, and we were outside with Sparky … Continue reading Sparky’s Many Friends

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Chickens and Chicks

I just noticed that my human appears to have posted an ‘article’ on his ‘blog’ about the recent chicks. In light of this, I feel it is necessary to share MY opinion on the birds.  Now, as long as I can remember, the humans have been teasing me with chickens. They place 30 nice, plump … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Chickens and Chicks

Cheeper by the Dozen

So… Sometime in late November, we started to notice that one of our bantam (small) hens was sitting on a clutch of eggs. Over the years we have hatched many batches of chicks, but they have all been during the warmer months.  We figured this hen could not keep the eggs at the necessary temperature … Continue reading Cheeper by the Dozen

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Sheep

As King of this farm, I feel that it is necessary to contribute in some way to this ‘blog’ that one of my foolish humans has created. For my first topic, I will discuss the species which humans call ‘sheep’. Or, as I prefer to call them, ‘disciples’.  These ‘sheep’ are one of the few … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Sheep

Introduction to the ‘Farm’

So… we live on a ‘farm’. I use the word farm lightly, as this is more like an all inclusive animal resort. We have chickens that don’t lay eggs, rabbits we don’t eat or sell, horses we don’t ride, and sheep who produce wool we don’t use. And we have the cat. He is King. … Continue reading Introduction to the ‘Farm’
