Down on the Farm

We have that "down on the farm" feel around here lately. In the mornings, Adrian goes out to take care of the animals. Bouncer had her puppies (10, I think). He has a light rigged up in her new doghouse to help add some warmth on these cold winter days. Before daybreak, he's also tending to our chickens, giving them fresh water where it has frozen overnight. As Adrian was leaving this morning, I could here Deacon crowing as I stood at the door. Yes, when you can hear a rooster crowing in your yard, you really do have that "down on the farm" feel to your place! Oh, and another interesting sidenote about our chickens...last night they were roosting and Adrian shined his light in to check on them and was counting to make sure they were all accounted for, and he came up one short; then, all of a sudden, little Sassy's head came poking out between the tail feathers of the two chickens on either side of her. Sounds like she was trying to stay warm! In other animal news, we have been dogsitting Milo since Thanksgiving for Kristen and Cory while they were going to be out of town and he's been a lot fun. Logan mostly takes care of him, making sure he has food and water, gives him his bath, and things like that. He really is a sweet little dog, as are all our animals - down on the farm.
