Spent 3 weeks farm sitting in August 2011 and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Felt like the old days on our farm. Loved being around all the animals. Check out the BLOG!

Welcome to the farm!

The house, barn in the background

Riding arena and lots of grass to cut

Thank god for this pool, needed it to cool off after chores..it was a hot August!

Two of the porch cats, flaked out in the heat!

Dave’s favourite toy, he had fun cutting the grass with this lawnmower......no lie!

Good thing because there was lots of grass to cut and with all the heat and rain, it needed cutting 4 times within our 3 weeks here.

Meeka. This 5 month old border collie was a handful but what pup isn’t? Smart, snuggly....we fell in love with her!

This young skunk showed up 3 days after we got here. Tried throwing this frisbee at it to scare it away. Didn’t quite have the effect I was looking for...

Apparently skunks beat up frisbees...who knew? Thankfully no one got sprayed before it left. Dave chased it away while on the riding lawn mover the following day.

Lots of good food from this garden. I even enjoyed weeding it!

Bill enjoyed the sunflowers too

Dave couldn’t resist wrestling with Meeka

Shovelin’ shit

…..and dumping it

Thuner and Maggie

Faraday

Faraday and Cady

Maggie

Nice bangs girl!

Some of the cat herd waiting for dinner

Special Charlie, a sweetie. He got to dine alone in the tack room because when he tried to eat with the group, he got picked on too much.

Chai... I think she was my favourite cat. A real snuggler, always wanting to be picked up.

Meeka and three of her herd!

Rough life!

Raven, my other fav....also a snuggler!

Attempting to tire out Meeka in the riding arena.

Like I said, she’s one huggable dog!

If you’re ever in Strathroy during August, stop here for the Maplesweet corn, it’s excellent!

Tree frog on the fence

Drop it...drop it...drop it...drop it. No, pull it....pull it....pull it....pull it!

Furbee, the one and only house cat...very affectionate!

Love this face.....there’s way too much thinking going on behind those bright brown eyes though.
