Anna’s Doves
This is Anna’s dove pen.It used to be a small cage that hung on the wall and was difficult to get into not to mention didn’t afford the doves much room. Her father conceded to give up his fire wood stacking spot (the reason for the plywood “wainscoting”) and built this pen for her. Kathy … Continue reading
We all came to the farm in this box! We love our ducks, we let them wander around the barns and nursery area in the day time and they are locked into the barn at night. It is amazing how Fluffy, our big sumpin watch dog, doesn’t even give them much of a second look. … Continue reading

Ducky Daddles Arrive
The ducklings arrived at 8am finally! They must have taken the scenic tour, an extra twenty-four hours to get their little ducky daddles up here. They should have flown. They are all fuzzy and warm in their brooder box tonight. I’m sorta tired from getting ready to leave to take Carol down to California. We … Continue reading
