In light of Sandy, I'm going to take a blog break this week. At the moment it looks like we'll miss the worst of it here in northern New Hampshire, though Alayne and I still have some final preparedness chores to do today to make sure we're ready for whatever happens. Our thoughts are with…

The weather in Ovando, Montana this week: The weather in Lancaster, New Hampshire this week: Of course, posting this will just about guarantee that Tropical Storm Sandy ends up slamming into New England next week! Sorry, everybody!

There isn't much left to eat in the way of fresh grass now in the horse paddocks, so we've been taking the horses some hay during their daytime turn-outs. One day last week, though, they apparently had plenty to eat, because I found blind Rosie keeled over, sound asleep, on her pile of hay. Blind…

I looked out of the house the other day and saw our barn cat Smoke perched on the side of a stock tank, lapping at the water. Now, this is the kind of thing barn cats do that can give you a heart attack, because your immediate thought is, oh my, what if he falls…

Pistol magazine, a "custom culture lifestyle" publication from California, has a wonderful two-page feature story on the farm in their latest issue. (Note this magazine has nothing to do with firearms and its target audience is primarily the artistic community.) The story is based on an interview I did with the editor a few months…

Our fall print newsletter is now available online as a PDF. You can download it here. Yes, our little old lady Madison is on the cover of this issue, though as you'll read in her story, that photo was from a couple of years ago when I brought her with me on my first trip…

Just a quick update on Bugsy, who we affectionately refer to these days as "Little Man" (though I don't know why). He has completed his transition from the terrifying dog who first arrived here to a wonderful, loving and sweet boy. I took the photo this afternoon in the dog room. Bugsy always looks bigger…

I mentioned in a blog post just a couple of weeks ago how our resident wild turkeys have made themselves at home on the farm, wandering everywhere, including right around the dog yards. Well, the other day Alayne looked out the window and saw a turkey inside the dog yard at the front of the…

Another beautiful rainbow over the autumn foliage, taken a about a week ago. Since then we hit peak colors, and while the weather has shifted to a rainy, cloudy pattern that has diminished some of their brilliance, they still look like this: And a close-up of one of those beautiful stands of trees: (Click on…
