While we were outside yesterday, I noticed that Francesca was staring intently off in the distance.  I just assumed she was squirrel hunting.  As it turned out, she wasn’t hunting that little beast, but something entirely different.

When Martha bought the farm, it came with a charming little building called a corn crib.  The corn crib really isn’t used for much, but we all love how it looks in the landscape.  I should say that it really isn’t used for much, until now.

After we visited Parrots and Company, where we bought special canary food, we made another stop at a different pet supply store, where we went shopping for the cats.  I got to thinking that cats are really high-maintenance!

Now that Francesca’s eye is back to normal, she certainly has a lot to catch up on around the farm.  The other day, she found out about the new storage building that’s under construction and I also told her about the stonework project that’s going on.  And speaking of stones, we decided to have a …

Now that Francesca’s eye is better, I wanted to take her around the farm so she could see some changes going on.  She was sort of out of commission for a few weeks and missed a lot.  Now it’s catch up time!

Last month on Martha’s television show, an entire episode was devoted to Etsy.  As you may know, Etsy is an online marketplace where people all over the world run virtual shops to sell their handmade or vintage items, art and supplies.  Etsy member, Jennifer Thornington, was at that show and presented Martha with a very …

Before I hurt my dewclaw and needed surgery, Francesca and I were making our usual rounds of the farm, looking for anything new and different.  It was difficult for Franny because she had classic tunnel vision due to wearing the cone-shaped color, so I guided her around.  It’s good to help each other out.

On yesterday’s blog, Francesca revealed that she is having an eye problem.  After a few different visits to the vet, we think we are on the right track for healing, what appears to be, a rather serious corneal ulcer.  We are all watching this thing like a hawk to make sure it’s not a progressive …
