The Great Squirrel Chase

Posted by F&S

By now you’ve probably guessed that we Frenchies really love a good squirrel chase.  We didn’t get the one in the tree, as we showed you the other day, but we nearly got this one on today’s blog.

Polishing Beautiful Silver

Polishing Beautiful Silver

Martha had a dinner party last night and there was a lot to do in preparation.  Chef Pierre came to cook the food and Laura Acuna set a beautiful table.  Of course, some of the silver needed polishing and we Frenchies always like to help with that chore.

Do You Know a Crow?

Do You Know a Crow?

Posted by F&S

We Frenchies have many friends at the farm, including a large number of crows.  These big black birds gather in communal groups, called roosts, in the autumn and winter and they are seen sleeping together perched in trees.  Needless to say, the roost can make quite a racket with such large numbers.  Anyway, we have …

We don’t know about where you live, but here in the northeast, we are in full swing of autumn.  Of course, that means chilly weather and lots of leaves dropping.  Leaves play an important role at the farm, as they are gathered up for compost, which is always in high demand around here.  But leaves …

It’s always exciting when a new package arrives from PetSmart.  We especially like when that package is filled with the latest doggie apparel from the Martha Stewart Pets line.  With our favorite holiday, Halloween, approaching, we Frenchies were thrilled with this year’s costume shipment.

Yesterday, we showed you what happened to the popcorn patch after being zapped by a heavy frost the other night.  We Frenchies decided to do a little more investigation and paid a visit to the vegetable garden.  It’s rather shocking what freezing temperatures can do.  We have concluded that the outdoor growing season is officially …

Checking The Crops For Frost Damage

Posted by F&S

Last Friday was a really chilly day and the weather reports were calling for widespread frost.  We were so busy all weekend keeping up with Martha, that we didn’t get to check on the crops until Monday.  We must tell you that we weren’t very happy with what we encountered.

Paying a Visit to Clive, Rufus, and Billie, our Donkey Friends

Paying a Visit to Clive, Rufus, and Billie, our Donkey Friends

Posted by F&S

You may recall hearing that Billie, our donkey friend, ate entirely too much green grass and, to put it politely, gained a few too many pounds.  As a consequence, she was developing a hoof problem.  To remedy the situation, tarps were put over the paddock to brown the grass, making it less enticing to eat, …

We Discovered a Wooly Bear!

The days are certainly getting shorter and cooler in our neck of the woods as autumn settles in.  Although we haven’t gotten our winter wardrobe out yet, there have been times when we’ve thought about it.  Of course, everyone is speculating about what kind of winter we will have.  Last year was so mild and …

Looking for Autumn Flowers

Posted by F&S

Well, it’s happened again!  Summer was officially over last Saturday when autumn marched in!  And pretty soon there will be piles of autumn leaves to play in.  That will be fun!  But for now, we can still enjoy lovely flowers because Martha has made certain that there are plenty of autumn blooms.
