A Rooster crowing

Went into my archives to get this video. This rooster no longer lives on my farm, but he was fun to watch when he did.

My favorite chicken was that little white and black hen that is in this video. She was a good mother.

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

Outagamie County Fair 2023

I forgot to post this video this summer. FYI: the lambs are quite loud.

Many families came through this exhibit in July and enjoyed time with these farm animals.

Maybe next summer you can visit the Outagamie County Fair in Seymour, Wisconsin, too.

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

Amish horses

I had lunch with my friends before photographing their horses. It was a wonderful day all around.

I had a two-hour drive to get to their farm. Happily, rain didn’t disrupt my day. It’s hard to plan a visit when a date had to be picked weeks in advance. Letters in the mail were how we communicated.

These four are the pride and joy of my friend’s farm.

Furry library friends

You’ll find more than books in libraries. These two guinea pigs live at the Muehl Public Library in Seymour, Wisconsin.

There’s a place where young library patrons can climb high enough to see Rolo and Fable.

They were nice and didn’t hide so I could make this video.

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

Hummingbird at feeder

The hummingbird sounds like a bumblebee. The loud bird sound on this video is from a neighboring bird, not this little guy.

When I refill this feeder I boil 1 cup of water and add 1/4 cup of sugar (4 to 1). It dissolves into a clear liquid and needs no color added to it. It is cooled to room temperature before being added to the feeder.

I’m so happy that this new feeder does not allow bugs to get inside, yet the hummingbirds can get their fill without a problem.

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