    Just as a warning, this is a bit of a heartache.Our farm is full of beloved animals, not just farm animals, but characters in our own lives that we truly adore. Many, you hear about in my newsletters, though some are our Pets and they aren’t as well known to our customers. One day, about ten years ago, Josh and I had a one year old Bulldog (Ella).

It’s been too busy, too hot, too stressful to sit down at my computer after a long day.
