Will You?

"Will you, oh, will you....

pleathe be our Valentine?"

(said with a mouth full of hay!)

We've got so much love to share...

and we'd love to share it with YOU! 

Just so you know...

all love comes with a healthy dose of mud!

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us romantics here on the farm.

Yesterday I ran to our little local meat stand to pick up something

that I did not already have in the freezer.

(You might remember the last time I went...

I captured those photos of the Short Eared Owl that I saw along the way.)

This time, in that very same field, I spied something on the ground...

way in the distance...

Luckily I had my zoom lens on my camera...

What a handsome guy.

We often see bald eagles along our river...

but only occasionally will we see one hunting in the fields.

Yesterday while collecting eggs,

I noticed a small white one amongst the usual brown and occasional green.

White ones are quite rare, as I have only one chicken who lays white eggs.

Minnie Pearl is a black and gold Polish crested chicken who is 8 years old.

On rare days she pops out a little white egg for me.

Thanks, Minnie!!  You go girl!

And finally, I finished my last cowl (for now)...and it's my favorite yet.
I added a thin strand of angora to the white that I used for the sheep.
Fuzzy sheep!!  Just like mine!

I promise not to bore you with any more of these cowls....
now, on to the next project!
