12 Days of Farm life Christmas

With this being our first Christmas on the farm, I wanted to reflect on the past few months… So I came up with a song that I hope you enjoy. I hope it puts a smile on your face. (keep the tune to the 12 days of Christmas in your head as you sing a-long!)…

Cats Rule and Dogs drool!

Just when Daphne thought she was the farm Bad ass, enter Autumn. Autumn is sweet and loving like I described in previous post. However, You have to remember that Autumn lived on the cold hard streets of Port Ewen. Its there that she learned how to be a thug.  She has a very distinct scar…

The cat who stole our hearts

I have never had a cat. Or should I say, a cat has never had me… Growing up my mother was so allergic to cats that I was not even allowed to hold a cat for fear that I would drag home cat dander which would set my mother off on an asthma attack. So…

Lazy Day…

It’s a rare event to have a lazy day on the farm. Today was one of those days. Today is Veterans Day. Thank you to all who have served this great nation of ours!  Veterans Day also means no school for the kiddies and no work for me.  I have custody of my children exactly…

Tis’ Almost the Season!

If you give a mouse a cookie syndrome..

 I have said this before and I will say it again… Egidio is the hardest working man I know. He truly is. My family can’t get over the drive and work ethic that this man has. With that being said, and I say this with love… there is something just a little off with him.…

That Damn Dog!

This is Daphne… we love Daphne, we really do. A little background on Daphne… I wanted to get my kids a dog. All kids should have the experience of loving and caring for a dog, a cat, something. My entire life I have had a dog. At one point I had four dogs. I have…
