I could watch these friends all day long.
They always make me laugh and always look like they are having so much fun.

Last night I went to check on my chickering sage and found the sweetest surprise, about two dozen bumblebees all tucked into the flowers, sound asleep! 💤💛

Yes, bumblebees really do sleep at night! They curl up inside blossoms like tiny bedtime blankets. Seeing them all snuggled in together was the cutest reminder that even the busiest and most important little workers need a rest.

Nature sure is magical. 🐝

Friends!!!! I did it!
I am a published author!!!!

It has been a dream of mine to tell the stories of the amazing residents here, and today that dream became a reality. I can not wait to share my first book with you all!! I have got so many stories bouncing around in this head and I have so many more planned!!

The books have been ordered, promo supplies ordered, giveaways ordered, and we even have the first book signing planned- (details coming in a separate post. And don't worry- you can also order them).
**Please note- No LDAR funds were used in this venture, it was all self funded, but will definitely help generate funds for the rescue.

I am simply over the moon excited about this, and I hope you all love this story as much as I do. Here is a sneak peek at one of the illustrations (I didn’t do the illustrations—I hired an amazingly gifted illustrator from Pakistan, and she truly brought my vision to life!!).

Here is what Artichoke’s book is all about:
"Artichoke the Unstoppable Goat is a heartwarming children’s story about resilience and self-belief. Born different, Artichoke shows that true strength comes from embracing who you are, never giving up, and that sometimes being different makes you unstoppable."

We had to stop mid-chores yesterday to capture this moment. Snuggling in the mud wallow ❤️
Sammy and Heinz have truly become the BEST of friends!!! Sammy just adores Heinz, and he’s given Heinz a whole new spring in his step.

We were so worried when Heinz lost Sonny, he was his whole world and our hearts ached for him. But even in the darkest of times, new light has a way of emerging.

Sammy is a boisterous, energetic ball of fun who has brought so much new life to the farm. Watching these friendships blossom reminds us why we do what we do.

Happy Sunday from Ms Stacee.
Stacee arrived here last year from a large neglect case and she has been a fun girl to get to know.
Now, she shouldn't trust humans.
You see a while back she was shot through her snout with an arrow, failed by humans #1.
Then she went to a "sanctuary" that failed to provide even the most basic of care (dry bedding, shelter, clean water etc), so failed by humans #2.

Here she gets all that and more, she would allow petting then quickly retreat, which is fine. We never push affection. But lately Stacee has not only been welcoming scratches & attention, but seeking it out. This sure does make our hearts happy.

Here she will never be failed. She is with her bestie Simon and the two can blossom at their own pace (Simon is a big ol' lover and quickly discovered humans= snacks).

COMING SOON: Spinach the Spectacular Goat , Book #2 in our Lucky Day Friends series.
Launch date is still TBD but definitely way before Christmas. 🤞
Here’s a little teaser:
From curled legs to big garden dreams, Spinach was never just any goat, he was born to be spectacular!

He prefers oat milk in his coffee, soft blankets on chilly mornings, and deep chats with his best friend Jazzy (who rolls through life in her wheelchair like a BOSS). Oh, and he ran away from Goat School on day one 😉

His story is for every kid (and grown-up) who’s ever felt a little different and a whole lot amazing. Because sometimes being different is pretty spectacular.

Stay tuned for actuallaunch day, coloring pages, and maybe even a tea party with the G.O.A.T himself.

Today, the world feels heavy.
We remember the heroes who ran towards the fire, the workers who never came home, the loyal dogs who searched without rest, and the countless lives lost yet never forgotten.

Your light rose higher than the those towers.
Your courage can still unite us.

We will remember. Always. 🇺🇸

Remember when we introduced you all to sweet little old lady Maya? We welcomed her a couple of months ago, shortly after our beloved Marshmallow pup left us.

Maya’s human mom had passed away, and she was suddenly in need of a new family. At first, she was so shy, and she also needed an extensive dental—27 teeth had to be removed! Let’s just say her breath could clear a room. She had loose teeth and infected teeth and it was just a mess in that mouth. (We thank Cross Veterinary Clinic for taking such good care of her)

Fast forward to now, Maya is acting like a spring chicken! She is an eating machine and she’s found her best friend in Ms. Carrie, who has proudly taken on “guardian” duties.
Maya orginally lived in Florida (her family brought her to Michigan after her momma passed) so we have invested in LOTS of sweaters and coats as this will be her first Michigan winter. Not sure if she will be a fan of snow!

And speaking of Carrie, when she first arrived, she was very dog-reactive. I didn’t share much about that at the time because we never judge a dog based on their first impression. Given her age (14 years old), her history of instability (she was on-and-off a “stray” after her owner passed in 2021), and her challenges, we knew she wasn’t a candidate for adoption. She needed a forever home and she found that with us.

When Carrie first came, we weren’t really looking for another dog. But one thing we always promise every animal that comes through our doors is the very best life possible. I also believe that each animal finds us for a reason—a divine purpose.

And wow, look at her now. Carrie has blossomed into the most loving companion. She goes shopping at pet stores, snuggles her five-pound bestie Maya, and has truly become the best dog I could ever have asked for. She’s honestly my best friend in the whole world. She hangs with turkeys, goats and even weird little Feta!

Because of her separation anxiety, she tags along just about everywhere with me—or Grandma steps in for babysitting duty (though I think Carrie might be milking that whole “anxiety” thing just to score extra Grandma time 😉).

So, long story short: don’t overlook the shy dog, the anxious dog, or the senior dog. Take a chance. With patience, love, and time, they truly shine and reveal themselves to be the diamonds in the rough they always were. And please make arrangements for your pets in the event you are no longer able to care for them.

Is it cool bug season everywhere else too, or just here?

I was trying to get some work done when a few unexpected, magical and beautiful friends stopped by. Naturally, all productivity went right out the window. Instead of shoveling manure I found myself completely captivated, admiring their awesomeness.

Of course, my imagination took over, and before I knew it, they both had names and whole personalities and are now my best friends! ;)

First was Priscilla, a dignified older lady praying mantis who was missing a leg and a wing. She hitched a ride on my arm and seemed perfectly content to stay there. Every time I gently told her I needed to get back to work, she’d move that little arm as if to wave me back into conversation. I swear she was grateful for the company. I could have chatted with this sweet old gal all day long.

Then came Fergus, a burly grasshopper with the spirit of a Scottish storyteller. At first glance he looked a bit tough, but beneath it all he was a big ol' softie. Seemed like he would sharing tales of his youth on how few people stop to admire bugs anymore. He chatted for a bit then went zipping away.

I may not have gotten much work done, but I sure felt blessed to spend time with Priscilla and Fergus. Sometimes the best visitors are the ones with antennaes and alien eyes!

I hope you all get to admire a beautiful bug or two today 😍
