Thursday, April 14th " I gotta get out of this place!"

This poor little guy was stuck in the bottom of a Home Depot orange bucket in the barn.  There were some bread crumbs in there that I was feeding to the chickens.  So, he wasn't starving.  But from the looks of the mouse droppings, he'd been in there a while.  After a photo or two, I put the bucket on it's side so he could escape.

Saturday, April 2nd Maple Sugarhouse Open House

This Saturday and Sunday is the statewide Maple Sugar Open House Weekend.  We had loads of visitors, but the cutest and the smartest was this little one who knew to eat her waffle right under the maple syrup bottling spout, so she could get more syrup as soon as necessary.
