The new chickens are finally laying eggs! I was getting one a day for a few days and then yesterday and today...three! Hallelujah!
It's much colder here today (in the 30's), so everyone's bundled up. The scarecrow's lap seems to be the preferred spot. I wouldn't be surprised to see "Gary" curled up there later with the cats. C'est la vie!
I got this picture of a cat the other day when I was on a photo shoot...couldn't resist! 
The picture I didn't take, however, is the one of DD crying inconsolably over a tiny kitten whose eyes are all "gooped up" and probably won't make it through the winter. Life and death lived out daily around the farm; tough, but important, lessons.

Just last night, I read Romans 12 and this idea has been on my heart lately. Especially as we enter the holiday season and a time for thanksgiving, this chapter helps to put me into the right frame of mind. I hope you will take joy in this, also.

for the kitten, with ''goopy'' crusted mattery eyes..warm a small amount of milk, apply to kittens eyes with cotton balls, or qtips. be sure to wear gloves, or use good handwashing afterwards. the kitten will ''wash'' its eyes with paws, in an attempt to get the extra milk........do this 2 or 3 times a day if you have time. his eyes will clear up, and usually the cats general health will begin to improve.......3 or 4 days will make a big difference.......
I'm so glad to see you are back. I'm also inspired by your blog ...
Happy Novemeber!

I cure the eye goop in kittens one of two ways.1..I usually have livestock penicillan in the fridge, I put 2 or 3 drops on a generous tablespoon of canned cat food for 4 or 5 days. 2..go to the vet and get a bottle of amoxicillian( $7ish) and depending on the size of the kitten 1/2 to one dropper full a day for a week. The kittens with this dont' need to die.
