Tracking Wild Animals

Tracking Wild Animals

Posted by Francesca

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 …

Searching For Dogwood

Searching For Dogwood

Posted by Francesca

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 …

A Museum for Frenchies? I Don't Think So!

Posted by Ghenghis Khan

I hadn’t been to the blog studio in a while so I decided to go inside.  I was kind of surprised to see that Francesca and Sharkey use the space as an art museum all about them.  Well, that’s something that’s definitely got to change!

Martha's Motor Scooter in Bedford

Posted by Sharkey

You may remember from a previous Wag from last July that Martha has a motor scooter in East Hampton.  It’s such a cute little thing and so much fun to ride.  Well, you can imagine my surprise when I found that very same scooter in the equipment barn in Bedford.

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.

Shedding Our Winter Coats

Shedding Our Winter Coats

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 …

Our Latest Visit to the Stable

Posted by Ghenghis Khan

There seemed like a lot of action at the stables the other day, so Francesca, Sharkey, and I went to check it out.  Linda, the farrier, was there and it’s always great to see her.  Betsy was also getting ready to take Ramon out for a ride.  And it seemed that Ramon had a few …

A Springtime Venture Into the Woods

Posted by Francesca

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 …

On yesterday’s blog, we Frenchies, showed you how the chickens at the farm get fed wonderful kitchen scraps from the MSLO test kitchen and the TV kitchen.  Arshad drove them up from the city and helped us get the scraps to the chicken coop.  You may recall that there were several …

Scratch Pads for the Donks!

Posted by Francesca

Maybe you recall last week when Francesca and I wandered down to the stable to visit Betsy.  Betsy, as it turns out, was busy with her chores but had enough time to introduce Franny to a new product she’s trying out called ‘Scratch n All’.  Betsy wants to use it in the donkey paddock so …
