I entered this world on December 13, 2004, in Pinewood, Minnesota. I’m a bit older and certainly far wiser than Sharkey. Like Sharkey, I’m also friendly and quite curious, but I’m more cautious about letting my curiosity get me into trouble. I must admit that we do have fun together. I just know when to stop. Martha describes me as being a bit obsequious, but that’s just my ability to pull the wool over her eyes. I’m just clever! I do have a high opinion about myself, and my fashion sense is magnifique! In fact, Je suis fabuleuse (I am fabulous.)
Martha’s blog today is all about Matt Lauer, the co-host of NBC’s The Today Show, and his most recent visit to the farm. Martha is promoting her new book, Living the Good Long Life: A Practical Guide to Caring for Yourself and Others, so of course, that’s what she and Matt discussed. Whenever visitors come, …
We Frenchies were driving around the farm yesterday and we noticed a lot of activity in the new cutting garden, which used to be the vegetable garden.

Sharkey was feeling quite lazy yesterday, so I decided to go for a little jaunt. Strolling past the stable, I noticed Betsy doing something to Rinze’s legs. Of course, I had to investigate.

We Frenchies were wondering what the farm crew has been up to, so we took a little walk to find out. It’s so nice to think that winter is nearly over and that spring chores have begun. However, more snow is expected today and that does not make us happy.

Who likes to play hide and seek, or hide and go seek? It’s a good game to play every now and then. No one knows how the game got started, but it’s probably been around since the beginning of time. All we know is it’s a lot of fun and a great way to keep …
After we toured the seedlings growing in the greenhouse, we found Ryan busy at work in the headhouse. Ryan was carefully separating tiny seedlings and replanting them in individual plugs. It was quite fascinating to watch.

We were making the rounds with Ryan, the gardener, the other day. He took us into the hoophouse where he keeps Martha’s potted citrus trees for the winter. I happened to notice that the clivia plants were blooming. Clivia are such happy looking flowers!

Thank you to all of my Glue Squad buddies for your concern and kind wishes. Yeah, being locked up in a crate isn’t the best thing that can happen to a dog, but if it’s got to be, winter isn’t too bad for it to happen.
