Thursday Dose of Cute: Chase me, Gus! Please?
Bert, Gus, and Daisy in the front field
Beagle Bert is by breed a hunting dog, which means he happily spends several hours each day tracking (but rarely ever actually catching) rabbits through the woods and across the fields. There's nothing like the sound of an excited beagle on the trail, especially when it's echoing through a narrow little valley. After 15 years of living with a beagle (first with Robin for 13 years, and now with Bert), that unique canine call still cracks me up.
Bert loves doing all the usual beagle things, but what he loves more than anything in the world is being chased—by anyone he can get to come after him. The other morning he had me chasing him around and around the pickup truck in the farmyard. He was too fast for me, and much better at taking the corners, so I tried to fake him out, turning around and heading the other way to ambush him as he raced around. He quickly got wise to me and starting darting right under the middle of the truck instead. We both had a great time.
A few hours later Bert, Bear, and I walked out to the front field to check on the sheep and the donkeys, and while we were out there Bert somehow convinced two-year-old Gus to chase him around the grass (the green grass!). After surviving a slightly terrifying game of chase the beagle out in Donkeyland not long after we adopted Bert, he laid off the donkeys for a while, but now he's back to the challenge.
Gus only made a half-hearted effort, and the game didn't last very long, but it was still the highlight of Bert's afternoon.

Friday Night Dose of Cute: Listen Up!
Have a great weekend.
Anything interesting on the menu this weekend? I'm hoping to play around with a couple of muffin recipes tomorrow (when I'm not in the kitchen garden sowing seeds for fall greens), and right now there's a big batch of homemade chicken stock cooling on the counter and a giant homemade pizza topped with sliced homegrown tomatoes just about ready to come out of the oven.
There's a hint of autumn in the air, and all I want to do is cook and bake. And eat.

Thursday Dose of Cute: Recovery
It was a long, hot afternoon, but yesterday's 'de-jacking' of our donkey boys went very well, thanks to our wonderful vet and farrier (who loved the cake and cookie bribes). Gus, Gnat, and Donkey Doodle Dandy are all recovering nicely, though today they would probably beg to differ.
I have some more photos of the big day I think you'll enjoy (nothing too graphic, don't worry!), but right now I'm headed out into the 100°+ hayfield to help pick up 180 bales of hay—a job we'll be recovering from tomorrow.

Saturday Dose of Frustration and Cute: Slowing Way Down (and Not by Choice)
Out here in the middle of rural nowhere, high speed Internet service isn't an option. Instead we rely on satellite, which runs a lot slower and costs a whole lot more. For a full time blogger, this can be pretty annoying, but I make do with what I've got and try not to complain. Until now.
