Walking in the cold

February 10, 2022animals, wildlife, Wisconsinsusanmanzke

I watch birds that come to my feeder, but I didn’t expect to see the bird I saw on my walk today.

It soared overhead and attracted my attention. I didn’t see its white head, but I did see the white on its bottom.

It was an eagle flying over the farm.

Too soon it few away. I didn’t have time to video it.

I’ll watch for that eagle when I go walking again. Though I have to watch for patches of ice so I don’t slip. Because of that ice, I have to keep my eyes on the ground more than I do on the sky.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A little treat

I brought out some bread as a treat for my three hens.

Their pen isn’t much, but they seem to do well enough.

We’re all looking forward to spring when things green up and everyone can go outside again.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Merry Christmas

From me and my furry friends.

Yes, there are treats on the table to tempt Car-E and Barn-E here.

Merry Christmas and a peaceful new year to all.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

It’s a BOY!

The vet confirmed today that my kitten is a boy.

His name is Barn-E for many reasons. First, he spent much of his infancy in my barn with his mother. Second, his brother is Car-E. They have the same mother. There’s no telling who the father is.
