merry month of May...

Hello May!!!! I, for one, am very excited to see that you have (finally) arrived!!! It was a long and cold winter, and I am so happy to get outside and enjoy the spring. Even if it does mean the arrival of black flies and other such critters.. right now... that's more than OK with me. 

And "we" have an announcement !!!! the arrival of "Foosie's babies!!!"  Now, Foosie if a very special pet, she is Abbie's constant companion, and was given to Abbie by a friend of mine.. Aileen... when Abbie was just a wee baby. Foosie is one of "those" toys that became a favorite from the start and has just been that way for the whole time. Abbie is quite excited that there is the chance that one day, Livy will have babies.. so I am pretty sure that's where the idea of Foosie's babies have come from.....

For, we hardly lack of babies around here.... new service puppies each year for one... and there have been chicks and keets, and even baby birds in the barn each spring... so, "babies" are good things in our book.  


Most mornings, I have my two little buddies walking up to the barn to help with the morning chores...

And Abbie has been very certainly that Danny is meeting "all the right people".. and learning "not to be afraid of anything - Baby!!!" (he certainly is not afraid of anything/anyone, he's turning into a very nice happy, stable puppy!!!)

Even a hike into the hayloft proved to be great fun!!! and so, I think we can officially say that spring is here, and suddenly it seems like our "list of things to do" has grown.... but truly, I am just as happy... spring and fall are my favorite times of year.....
