This wild rabbit arrived in the spring, and has been living in our wildflower garden

Caturday with my pretty kitty #cat #torbiecat

Blossoms and dew drops #flowers

Sunlight through slits in an old barn door- it’s shining on a hay covered floor

Sunlight highlights the old beams and cobwebs in an empty hay mow of an old Dutch barn

Light in dark spaces… #barn #farm #sunlight

The faces she makes… 🤣 #cats

May your day be as happy as my cat with a tube full of chicken. #cat

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Three baby goats look out from their barn. They’re a blend of tan/white/grey with floppy ears.

Good morning from three little friends #babyGoat

“What do you MEAN, there’s no milk in your thumb?!”

But… Casey is making good sense with supporting sustainable agriculture and improving soil health. So… I’m confused as to why she’s bad. Is there something awful I’ve missed? (Probably! There’s too much to keep up with!!)

I’ve been doing a lot of nature journaling lately

Sketch and watercolor of pale daffodils in a vase; written nature notes around margin

Some days are more writing than doodle in my sketchbook- but it’s freeing to give myself zero pressure that way. #DailyDoodle
