We have a special visitor staying with us for a few months — meet Charles! ❤️

We also call him “Scott Baio” because, apparently, he’s the one in charge around here. He’s a bit of a sweetheart… from a respectful distance. He loves head scratches and spends most of his days relaxing under the pergola, keeping an eye on everything.

We’re already going to miss him when he moves on 🐾

Thank you John and Kelly for the bull rental!! Kelly Dechert-Murphy

Woke up this morning to find Moodonna out roaming around. Got in some snuggles before putting her back.

Guess what we’re building?!

We may or may not be building a barn… 😏

More room = more animals and honestly, I’ve stopped pretending that wasn’t the plan all along 😂

Don’t tell Dave… I’m pretty sure he still thinks this is for “storage” 🤫

Stay tuned… things are about to get a whole lot louder (and fluffier) around here 🐄🐓

One week after the Kawartha Lakes Home and Cottage Show and we’re officially SOLD OUT of coops!

But don’t worry, Dave is hard at work building more. 🐔

If you’re looking to rent a chicken coop, be sure to place your order by April 15th to secure your spot.
