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

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
