Kittens for the Barn (yeah right)
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon we decided to take a break from working at home and go for a nice drive to Cummington for lunch. We returned home with 2 free kittens that I convinced (myself) they would be "barn cats"
Cocoa the "chocolate" kitty and Bunny the kitty with no tail.......it's amazing how little creatures can enrich your life :)
 |
| Bunny had wiry hair when we got her, but not anymore after a diet rich in omega's |
|
| Cocoa discovered my pumpkins and Bunny is always willing to get involved |
 |
| They LOVE the wood pile~ so much fun :) |
 |
| They LOVE the christmas tree even more!! |
 |
| Can you see Both kittens??? Look hard :) |

Where's my Pumpkins??
The October storm hit us hard~ luckily we moved quickly and got the chicken coop located under the barn overhang and finished stacking our firewood in the garage. I'm still not ready for THIS tho!
Just because he loves to ski, still doesn't make this ok! tee hee

Cottage Garden 2011
My Cottage Garden has turned into a Butterfly Garden!
The Monarch's love these purple flowers (wish I could remember what they were)I just sprinkled the seeds all over from last year~~ Whew! Got lots of them now :)
Here's what the garden looked like last month (the picture doesn't do the flowers justice)
I'm going to miss Summer~

Chickens in the Garden~
Today the chickens found out where their beloved Broccoli comes from!!
 |
| I was putting in some fall crops when I thought I heard "Here it is guys!!!" coming from one of the chickens :) |
 |
| Good thing I left these spent broccoli plants in the ground so they could have the leaves~ |
 |
| Guess they are finally tall enough to see what's edible.....I better hide the tomatoes :) |

Chickens Love Tofu!
Ok, so I'm a little obsessed with my birds~
Sadly, "little Jerry" and "Pretty" are no longer with us......they'll be missed :(
"Pretty" suffered from crooked-beak and we had to make the decision to put her down and Jerry was killed by a coyote or fox when he wandered over the stone wall and into the woods......Horrible experience and now the girls are in "lock-down" unless they are by my side~
 |
| Here they are at 12 weeks old, eating Tofu & Tomatoes from the garden~ |
 |
| Wondering why I'm taking pictures of them :) |
 |
| Getting ready for bed |
