George

Finally a pic of poor old George the ferret. George is about nine years old now. He's thin and a bit feeble but still hanging on. He eats and drinks. Pees and poops and if you've ever had a ferret, well you know. I'll say this, I'll never keep ferrets again. Only because they require a lot of time and I feel guilty because I don't think that George gets the time he deserves.

Zeke

Zeke is always elusive. It's taken me dozens of photos to try and get one where he's not moving and here it is.

Ears

Herman's ears have fallen and they can't get up!

Purple Martins?

I bought this purple martin house a couple of years ago for Steve for a Father's Day gift because he so loves his wild birds. Attracting purple martins is quite a different story. It's a very difficult process involving placement of the house in your yard, timing, other birds in the area. Well, we were unsuccessful and in the end, ended up with a house full of sparrows. So here sits the sparrow condo.

A Spring Sunset

Zoe took this pic about a week ago of the sunset from our driveway looking across the farmer's fields.

What a Face

What a face. I have no idea what Spot was doing. Maybe yawning. But I think it's a hilarious picture of a silly dog.

Taking a Trip

Traveling anywhere, even for a few days can be difficult for Steve and I as we are always faced with the babysitter issue for our creatures. Finding some one can be a problem. Most times I'm able to get my farrier, Jeremiah and his son to do it. This is a pic of one of our travels last Spring to Oregon and Northern California. Steve and Zoe in front of a giant redwood. We went to Oregon to check out a University Zoe was interested in in Eugene, OR. As long as we were so close to California we decided to see the redwoods since none of us had seen them before. It was beautiful. We took the coastal drive down along the Pacific. The scenery was awe inspiring and the California fishing villages were great. Loved it.
