  • Puppy update #3

    Well, despite my best efforts we are still sitting at home with 9 puppies. I am beginning to doubt my effectiveness as a marketer. I guess I will have to resort to late night TV infomercials next. In the mean time, take a look at this vid, shot last night: Please spread the word and…

  • Planning for the spring garden

    I put in my seed order over the weekend and soon a box will show up with all sorts of wonderful things. I am trying a few new things this year. For one, I am going to try to start a few things in cold frames before I plant them in the ground. That way…

  • Goodbye Guy

    As those of you who saw my twitter updates the past few days know, we had to put down one of our horses over the weekend. Unfortunately its one of those things we will never know how it really happened.  All we know for sure is that what of it: Goliath broke his leg and…

  • Puppies!

    Correction from my earlier twitter, there are 9 puppies (not 7).
