Granddaughter Arianna loves animals. When she’s been on the farm she has picked up frogs and chicks. This day was a time for furry friends.
On a cool evening, Arianna shared her blanket with Joy, her family’s new rescue puppy.
The following day, Car-E, my rescue kitten, was in Arianna’s arms. The dog and the cat wouldn’t sit quietly together, but I bet if Arianna had time she would teach them to be friends, too.
This girl will grow up either taking care of animals or rescuing them. Or maybe both.
There was another country parade today heading south on Miller Road.
I almost missed this celebration as my family had come by to help out around the house.
As we were doing chores, we stopped to look up when we saw some strange vehicles honking past Sunnybook Farm.
As they passed, I remembered I had been invited to join this country parade. It was to celebrate our neighbor, Roger Roskoms’ birthday.
Again, I wasn’t close enough to photograph the beginning of the parade, but I did click one photo before they disappeared down the road.
Roger’s daughter, Juli said: We had a fantastic turnout with three fire trucks from Navarino, Nichols, Cicero, a mixer from Green and Gold Concrete from where Dad used to work, a bunch of old cars and cool tractors. … We had 53 Vehicles total … not too shabby I guess.
Happy Birthday, Roger. You are a good neighbor with a lot of good friends and a loving family.
I almost missed posting a blog today. It was a busy day doing yard work.
Sunny joined me for a walk the other day and this is how he celebrated.
Sunny rolled and wiggled in the grass. The good part was that he did this spontaneously, not because he found something stinky to roll in. It was just a joyful roll.
Now I’ve finished my daily blog and I can head up to bed.
