Meet Sharkey

I was born on February 18, 2005, in Trappe, Maryland. While my personality is laidback and easygoing, I’m always ready for a good adventure. If I see something I need to chase, like a squirrel, for example, I’m out the door and across the field without hesitation. I also really love to intimidate the donkeys even though a kick from them would probably really hurt. Francesca complains that I’m much too spontaneous and daring, but I just really like to have fun. I think Franny believes that I’m just not as smart as she is, but she is a bit of a snob.

It dawned on me the other day that I haven’t seen much of the farm crew.  I know they’ve been busy because I hear all sorts of power equipment, but I just didn’t know what they’ve been busy doing.  G.K. and I went out to investigate.

Well, it’s that time again to model the newest line of clothing from Martha Stewart’s Pets available at PetSmart.  Francesca, my modeling partner, is still confined to her crate while her bulging neck disc is healing.  I don’t mean to steal her thunder, but the fashions must be seen!

Ryan decided it was time to mix up a very special brew of tea for all of the plants in the greenhouse.  It’s compost tea made in the Compost Tea System from Growing Solutions.  It’s a wonderful organic way of feeding and the plants really like it!

Moving Plants From the House to the Greenhouse

As you may know, Martha loves to surround herself with plants and part of her decorating finesse is to adorn the interior of the house with potted plants that grow in the greenhouse.  Yesterday was plant moving day and, as usual, I like to supervise.

There may be snow on the ground at the farm, but there are still things blooming!  Of course, that would be in the warm and toasty greenhouses.  Here’s a little lesson about the century plant.

A Surprise In Our Toybox!

Franny and I wanted to play outside the other day, but it was just too darn cold, so we started looking for indoor options.  Martha keeps toys for us all around the house and I wanted to play with some that were in a little storage cube.  Of course, things don’t always …

We Frenchies have a lifetime exposure to yoga, as Martha has been practicing for many years.  In fact, on her blog today, she is featuring the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Iyengar Yoga Association of Greater New York.  Iyengar is the type of yoga that Martha practices.  I’m not sure what style of yoga I …
