Burtee’s Winter Kingdom
Is there a better spot than the boulder behind our house to survey the kingdom?

Wild Turkeys
It's quite funny when the wild turkeys parade through our yard. The chickens disappear in a flash and Uni, the guinea fowl, seems strangely attracted to them.

First Flakes of Snow; First Flakes of Hay
Can you believe it -- snow flakes have been swirling around in the air all day and the large mammals, aka the horses and cows need a little more than the frozen tundra can provide. Hence, the first day of many that I will be tossing a few hay flakes their way. I know it's December but I am not quite ready for winter. Are you???

Kissing Icelandics
What I love about our Icelandic horses and Icelandic's in general are they are truly the golden retriever of horses. Mild mannered, playful, gentle and cute!! Their winter coats are so thick and soft.
Does any one else love the smell of horses? I think it is distinct and heavenly!!

Burtee’s Dinner
Ever wonder what the king of all dogs gets to eat in my household?
The wait is over. Burtee, as you might expect, does not eat canned or store bought dog food. Every week a new batch of homemade food is cooked up fresh. Generally, I get 5 pounds of organic ground turkey and 3 pounds of a combination of organic sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. I cook the ground turkey on top of the stove until well done and simultaneously boil the potatoes. Then, I mash the potatoes and add the meat and mix them together. I serve it with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
I also make, boiled chicken breast with rice and carrots. Jim knows that if he's ever hungry, Burtee's food, which is stored in the fridge, is fair game!!
One of these days I'll share with you why I make his food. But until then -- BONE Apetit!!
