It was critter week here at Blazing Trails Farm in Connecticut. Some of the critters were expected, others were pleasant surprises and one was decidedly shocking. The weather was lovely, allowing for plenty of time to get out there and take in the beauty of it all!

I would love to have this. The girls keep pooping in their water so in this 100 degree plus weather I have to keep going out and cleaning it for them. Thanks for your blog!!
