The persimmon seeds here on the farm have made their forecast. I sure am excited to see that FORK!

It’s watermelon season here in Cave City, and this far into her pregnancy, Darcy is not planning on sharing any of these rinds with those little old goats.

Her jersey calf is scheduled to arrive next month— fingers crossed that it’s a girl!

**sound on**

How is everyone enjoying the “cicadapocalypse”?

It is amazing to me how mechanical they sound! The first morning they really got revved up here happened to be on a weekend. We live so close to the school that we debated about whether or not to bother someone on a Sunday morning to let them know that they had an alarm going off somewhere on campus. 🤣

Apparently, this year is the first time in 221 years that Brood XIX (on a 13-year cycle) and Brood XIII (on a 17-year cycle) emerge simultaneously. For perspective, the last time these two broods emerged at the same time Thomas Jefferson was in office.

Our house is pretty well insulated, but we can still hear them pretty well from inside the house. Some residents here at the farm find it rather annoying. Personally, I am just yet again astounded by nature! It never ceases to amaze.

UPDATE: Pups are all matched up!!!

This happened way faster than I expected.
If you missed the three hour window (😳) when they were available, don’t fret. The fam and I talked it over and decided we had so much fun with the puppies that we’ll plan to do it all again one more time. If you missed out this time but would like first dibs next time shoot me your contact info, and I’ll reach out later on.

UPDATE: Pups have all been matched with their future homes!

It's time to match our pups up with their new homes!

Born 2/19/24, they will be ready to head home at 8 weeks, April 15. I cannot recommend them enough! Parents, Zeb and Zelda both live here at the farm and have proven themselves as excellent guardian dogs.

Pups are not registered. Their 6-toed hind paws and solid white color verify that they are full-blooded Great Pyrenees. Their value is in their proven lineage as working dogs.

Please DM for additional information or click the link in comments. Feel free to text Ashley at 870.834.5315 to set up a day and time to visit with pups before sending deposit.

Pups are still housed separately from Dad, but that doesn’t get in the way of a little face-to-face time. ❤️

3 weeks old!!!

Puppies are 2 weeks old today!

**Sound on to learn a fun fact about Great Pyrenees and hear me talk to them in an embarrassing baby talk voice. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Have you ever tasted fresh Jersey milk? 😋 You could have it every day!

Born summer 2021. This full-blooded Jersey heifer is ready for breeding. Comes with genetic testing paperwork showing her to be A2/A2. Her mother has been an excellent producer for us of rich, quality milk, but we do not have need of two plentiful milkers. Message for more information or to make an offer.

Additional photos available on our website. See comments for link.

PSA: If you bring the chicken inside to sleep multiple nights in a row, she will then camp out on the doorstep all day, begging to come in and leaving her droppings behind.

Sleepy snowy morning on the farm ❄️

01/04/2024

Remember Zebulon who came home to the farm as a little puppy back in March? I quickly started calling him “Zeb” for short. Then, “Zeb Zeb,” naturally. “Zebbie” because he’s such a cutie. Soon, it was “Zebbie Zoo” as a term of endearment. This morning I found myself morphing that into “Zoo Zoo.” Why do we do this to our dogs?! 🤦🏽‍♀️
My once little puppy is now enormous (just look at the size of his head relative to mine!), towering over his girlfriend Zelda.

What is your dog’s name? And what ridiculous nickname do you call him/her on the regular?

My slower pace has meant lots of time for crochet projects. Everyone in the family received a handmade gift, and I just completed this 100% dog-approved throw blanket for all of us. The alpaca yarn I used was my best Black Friday find: at regular price, this throw would have cost me $270 to make, but I pulled it off for $24. So, each time I cozy up with it, I’ll get the double satisfaction of knowing I made it AND for a steal. 😊 (I love the texture and the wavy edges of this blanket. Crocheters, let me know if you’d like the pattern!)

Me: Zeb, smile for the camera!
Zeb: 😛

From my Facebook memories. It apparently took me awhile to figure out how to make it pretty. 🤣

My little man did some fence building today. ❤️

Out for a morning stroll with Bug, Brew, and Black Cat. We are a good half-mile in at this point, and the cat is hanging in there for the walk. 🤣

Early morning stroll with my buddy. 🐓

It’s watermelon season here in Cave City, and this far into her pregnancy, Darcy is not planning on sharing any of these rinds with those little old goats. Her jersey calf is scheduled to arrive next month— fingers crossed that it’s a girl!

The pups are so happy in their new homes!

Pups will be 8 weeks old tomorrow and headed to their new farms this week. I’m going to miss them so much!

Goats held out until totality, but then they hightailed it to the barn!

If you have chickens at your house, don’t forget to watch them during the eclipse. When we had the partial eclipse here a few years back, I watched our entire flock march up their ramp and head inside to roost for the night then confusedly wander right back out as the sun reemerged. Nature is fascinating!

Pups made a visit to yoga again yesterday. At six weeks old, they were a lot more active than they were when we did it at three weeks. It was super cold and windy, but when you promise the team you’ll bring pups to yoga, you’d better bundle up and bring pups to yoga! 🧘 🐶 (photo credit: Cave City girls soccer team 📷)

5 weeks! Their most impressive skill they’ve learned this week is that they are housebroken. I pen puppies up with momma inside the barn overnight. It’s a large space full of shavings so that I can easily clean up their messes, but there is no longer any need. They hold it all night and then follow momma outside in the morning to take care of business. Great Pyrenees are such amazingly smart dogs!

What a difference a week makes! Pups are now four weeks old. They are lapping up water, running all over the place, and playing with each other. So much fun!
