Two deer spotted near Cowbell Lane


This photo was sent in by Lori Thompson.  It reminds me of an oil painting.  Very nice to see
two deer in our area.  We only managed to get a glimpse of one doe last fall here at the Slipper.  Previously in the past couple of years we would see up to 12 together with lots of fawns.  We have the cracked corn out waiting their return.  This warm winter should help them along.  More Tales from The Pipe and Slipper...

Bonnie Prince Ronnie

Sometimes there is a special boy that needs to come in for the night.  Ronnie was the prince of the barnyard until someone dropped off some bigger roosters.  First they took his girls, then his corn.  We are bringing him in to muscle him up a touch.  More Tales from The Pipe and Slipper....

A Special Guest Drops by at The Slipper

This flying squirrel was in the cracked corn bin tonight.  I was watching him have a snack.  We hope he moves in with his family.  These guys are such a pleasure to watch soaring down from the pine trees, landing on their back feet on the deck.

Pete the Turkey Blocks Busy Road




This crazy turkey just didn't understand he was being a goof. We couldn't stop laughing when we watched Kayla and Charlotte try to get past him. More Tales from The Pipe and Slipper...

Tom is Happy

Tom is happy and content. He lives inside now, out of the cold. He gets a special treat at 8:am and the same at 8:pm. You will find him at the fridge door at those times. All he has to do is pretend he likes humans. More Tales from The Pipe and Slipper....

New Additions at The Pipe and Slipper

We have five of these little guys muddling around the barnyard. They love the sunshine.
