Working with the harrows

Spring fever at CVF

A ride in the forecart

Flashback: Wood duck box

Last year I built a wood duck box.

We had great success with two hatches.

It must be spring at the farm.

The kids had great fun flying kites.

The hens like their scratch grain.

A dozen eggs from CVF

So how will the bees do this year

A mild winter should have helped.

Coby comes to help with the horses.

Flashback: 1965

In 1965 my father made this 4 horse hitch & coach.

Another work of art in walnut.

A horse is only as good as its feet.

Leesa has been great to groom our horses and pick their feet.

Flashback: First cars

 Here is my great-grandfather's first car.1918 Touring

This is my first car: 63 VW

M & M like this.

So do Jack and I.

It was a bright sunny February day.

Jack did his best to please.

More snow; more sleigh rides

Flashback: We don't get snow like they used to.

Here is my mother and my grandfather's car near their farm.

I remember going there as a boy when the snow was as high as the roof of our car.

Linda's first sleigh ride.

Steve drives for the first time.

Great snow but chilly.

Jack on the harrows

Trying to keep Jack in shape on the harrows,

so he can pull the sleigh on Valentine's Day.

Flashback: 1957 Southampton

Then I had time to try sketching.

With Medicine & the farm, I haven't had the time.

But I always have the camera handy, and I hope it shows on this blog.

A work of art

Cousin Brenda has just hooked a great rug.

Jack & the hens are very pleased.



Who says we need snow to play.

Crazy weather

Even the Christmas Cactus is out of step.

Flowering in February???

Flashback: Laddie's Sire.

This is "Teddy" or Ayton's Final Footprint at the "Royal".

He was a magnificent horse.
