It's the spring month! And we know for sure spring is coming!  We've seen the peacocks and turkeys spreading their tail fans.  The chickens are laying eggs now. The tree frogs were singing away last night (one of my favorite sounds!). A robin was in the farmyard. The turkey vultures are back. The weeping willow trees are slightly yellow. All signs of the upcoming spring! For today it is raining very hard and expected to continue all day. The farmyard is saturated. Horses will be out only long enough to clean their stalls. But the geese and ducks are happily swimming in the lakes on the farmyard!

We had BOXES last night! It was wonderful. You all are so very appreciated. YOU make a difference to us!

We just received our monthly payment from Amazon! It was $527.53.  This is the revenue from the ads.

 Unfortunately, at the end of this month, we will no longer be receiving Ustream revenue. But.....by using the Scrip Program, we can recoup that! 

Taia---what a stinker! But....she always makes me smile!  Both her and Boo-Boo are two sweet yet very ornery black female cats.  They race room to room. And not only there, they love to race on the cat walks, even jumping over cats that are already there. Their zoom power is ever so much! Love these two girls!

More thanks!

Emma Jean is a wonderful mama.  Such a sweetie---makes for sweet babies!  Erica likes to be the snuggler-inner--she's always in the middle of the sleeping pile.  And Jeff Bob--he's already making little sounds. It looks like all their eyes are starting to get the beginniing of the eye "crack"--an indicator of eyes opening soon! 

Neve and Nedda already know that there's a world outside of their door of the back Thumper's Room. They have been climbing up and letting us know in no uncertain terms that they want to come out. But....they need another day for their vaccines to take place.  So very cute kittens!

Here's some dates:

3/3--we have an event at Pet Supply Plus--we'll have our table with lots of information

3/6--HumaneOhio surgery day

3/15--Hensley has his dental appointment

Take care everyone.  If you're coming here, you may need a paddle to get thru!  No no--just kidding. Where FFRC is at, we will not flood.  So, no worries!
