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.)
The last time we went to Skylands, Martha thought it best that Sharkey remain back home at the farm. Sharkey had a bug bite that she scratched too much and developed a rash on her neck. Because we were concerned, G.K. and I licked her rash, but that just made things worse. How were we …
We were driving with Uncle Carlos going past the tenant house when I remembered hearing something about washing the windows of that building. Washing windows is loads of fun, especially when I sit back and watch Sharkey do all the work!

On Martha’s blog today, she posted a lot of beautiful photos of planting the giant urns on the Skylands terrace. When the work was complete, Uncle Carlos suggested a drive to Bar Harbor so that Ryan could see some of the local flavor. It’s always a fun town to visit.

On a recent jaunt around the farm, Sharkey and I noticed many empty spaces along the stone paths where succulent plants once grew. Granted, some of these paths are new, and need to be landscaped. But, for the established paths, it’s far better to have succulents growing than weeds.

On yesterday’s blog, I was out hunting for dogwood trees and found some in the woods. After satisfying my dogwood urge, and since I was already in the woods, I decided to partake in some animal tracking, one of my favorite pastimes. There are so many interesting scents to pick up and follow in the …
There are so many flowering trees at our farm in Bedford, but for some reason, Martha hasn’t planted one of my favorite varieties, the dogwood. I’ve been reading up on dogwood and from my findings, it seems that the bark of one of the European species, when boiled in water, was once use for washing …
Sharkey and I were driving around in the Kawasaki recently in search of some beauty in the woods. Sharkey was uncertain which road to take so we stopped and asked for directions and we finally found what we were looking for.

Sharkey and I were outside the other day, when she suddenly realized that Sasa, the horse, was no longer wearing his warm winter coat. That caused her to go into a silly tirade about how we are no longer wearing our fashionable cold weather wardrobe and she was actually lamenting that fact! Honestly, Sharkey can …
We, Frenchies, decided to wander out into the woods for a little adventure. There is always so much to see in the spring and we wanted to explore a bit out of our usual bounds. Just footsteps into the wooded area, there are rushing brooks and all sorts of new vegetation to behold. And you …
