Feeling overwhelmed with the news and taking a break from social media while I care for our farm family to protect our peace 💚

“Hi, my name is Wesley” Wesley introducing himself to all the horses

~ Spiritual Goal 🫶

Wesley’s making friends with the rest of the heard. He reminds me so much of Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web, he’s “SOME PIG” ❤️🐷

Who doesn’t want to watch a piglet eat his dinner?

I love it when the horses find their own path to the lower pasture

I got a new toy!

Please be gentle with turtles 🐢

Hi Wesley! Hope you’re liking it here

Wesley snuggled up to Daisy after morning chores and breakfast Daisy is very patient and tolerant, a great big sister

Making new friends Wesley, meet Pearl and Bullet

Welcome to our little farm family Wesley

Text from a friend, “Taking her horse, Coco, down to the paddock, like Erika does she said.”

I got to go to my favorite childhood place this past week, meet the owner and thank him for inspiring me - The Friendly Farm, Dublin, NH

At first resistant, now requests her daily brushing #cats #barncat #morescratchesplease

Hi Bullet! Looks like he’s enjoying having the whole bale to himself #goats

We moved Lacey and Mellow in with Nugget and all is going well. They’ll stay in the barn until we can reinforce the outdoor chicken run to keep them all safer - especially our new little escape artist. #chickens #rehome #rescue

Behold today’s bounty (except for the bananas, we bought the bananas) #homegrown #tomatoes #cucumber #mushrooms #smallfarmlife

A look back to the day we brought Honey home #horses #rehome #loveatfirstsight

Pearl and Becky were awesome during yesterday’s visit! They love all the treats and attention. #therapydonkey #therapygoat #goats #donkeys #animaltherapy

We love our volunteers! #volunteer #volunteersrule

Keeping an eye on our little rescue, she seems to have figured out that sticking around might not be too bad #chickens #rescue #ihopeshelikesithere

She’s been spending a lot time in her roosting box so I brought her over to the chicken pool to cool off #chickens #rehome

Mellow jumped up onto my chair for a selfie #chickens #rehome

This little girl is a master at hide and go seek. We thought we lost her last night only to find her back in her stall this morning. #chickens #rescue #chickenguardianshipishard

Summer pumpkins! Rewards from last year’s annual pumpkin toss. #cows #goats #pumpkins

Wednesday wanted her belly rubbed #dogs #adopt #whateverittakes

This is not her stall #chickens #rescue #escapeartist

Our little rescue is an escape artist! She can fly into the next stall and onto the ledge. She doesn’t go far and knows where her food and water are but it’s startling when we can’t find her at first. Fortunately she likes to talk so we know she’s near. #chickens #rescue #redjunglefowl

“Omg!!! It looks great though! You finally got it all filled in!” Praise from the previous owner on the garden she started. My heart is happy. #garden

This little girl was found at a Dollar General parking lot in St Louis - now she’s safe on the farm in quarantine and already eating well and exploring the coop #chickens #rescue

Happy hour at the watering hole #donkeys #horses

Always appreciate a little help on the farm #chickens #friends

Someone’s ready for breakfast #horses

You know you had a good day when you didn’t even think about capturing the moment because you were too busy living in the moment. 💛 #friends
