Changes, changes, changes…every day we see changes occurring before our very eyes. This morning the temperature was in the teens when I got up to leave the dogs out. Of course once I opened the door and the cold air rushed in…hitting them in the face, the stopped abruptly, looking into my face as if to say, “are you serious? Go out there just to pee?” On extremely cold mornings I am met with that look…every time. They always relent and go out to do their morning business, but return in record time to withdraw back into the warmth of the house and their beds in the bedroom upstairs, where the gas fireplace has maintained Vick’s boudoir as that of warm, toasty comfort. There they will remain until practically dragged out again when Vick arises.
We learned that our next new addition to the farm will arrive on Friday. We are receiving our second mini donkey, by the name of Rosie, this Friday from Papetti's Eggstraordinary Mini Donkeys of central NJ. We are looking forward to her arrival so Allie has an equine friend to pal around with and the fact that Rosie and Allie were heard mates before is even better. Although Allie was content to hang with the alpacas and Norton the sheep…and actually began to think that Max our Llama was her mother, she will do much better with her own kind and we will be able to separate them better for feeding and weight control since she will have a pen mate. I’m sure Max will appreciate that Allie is no longer trying to suckle from him too!!! We thought it was funny, but Max definitely wasn’t happy about it at all…Poor guy.
The store is coming along slowly, so we need to step up the activity in there and get it all resolved to open before the holidays. In fact, we should be open now.
Last Saturday evening, we went to an auction in Boiceville, NY. We were looking for a table to hold a five pound canister of honey (which we found) but bought a few other items of interest too. Vick won a beautiful chestnut table and a walnut table…some other small items and I won a 31 day wall clock and an electric heater with imitation flames and a glowing log. I figured it would be nice this winter on mild days in lieu of a wood fire in the wood stove. When heat isn’t needed, you could simply run the imitation flame for ambiance. It seems Vick likes it better in the house, in our office computer room, so it now resides there. Oh well......
A beautiful key wound clock fro a few bucks...
This electric stove went for peanuts too...
Makes such a warm inviting glow...
