What's beautiful about having farm animals is to experience the miracle of birth and watch the mothering instincts.
Here's a heart-warming photo ... Our sweet horse Gaefa is nursing. Our beautiful Valkyrie (may she be resting in peace in horse heaven) gave birth to our beautiful Gaefa a few years ago. Gaefa means good luck and good fortune in Icelandic. May all mothers have good luck and good fortune today. Happy Momies Day Valkyrie!!

May Day. May Day. We have sunshine. Blue sky. 60 degrees. HOORAY!!
Delilah, Mr. Johnson and Julia are all basking in the mid-morning sun. Taking in the vitamin D and watching that grass grow...

Very funny chicken antics - the chicken jumped into this box which must have had some bird seed from the bird feeder in it. The rooster clearly wanted to join in. And the loppers just frame the chicken so well!!

My heart opens with unconditional love for Burt. And I believe it is returned to me. He is my ever-present companion. And he can truly communicate with me. I know exactly when he wants to go outside for some spring water or to do his business. He knows when Jim is about to build a fire - he see Jim carrying the kindling and he darts into the living room to claim his spot in front of the fireplace. This photo was snapped in the kitchen while I was making chicken soup - he was just hanging with me!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my doggie!!

The first time in 6 weeks that the snow had melted enough for Whitey to make it to the back porch. I threw him the indian corn that I had sitting on the table as his reward!!

The big mammals as we call them are hay burners this time of year. It's been quite challenging getting the hay to them twice a day in the big snow conditions. Here they are munching away - even Burtee tried to get in on the action!!
