Do you know how to respond to a Queen’s command? You obey it, of course. Especially when it comes from Queen Natasha the Evil. Our temperatures yesterday hovered just above freezing.

Twisting Turning Typhoon

Spring. The weather turns warmer. The grading equipment is repairing our dirt road from a winter of freezing and weeks of mud. The grass is starting to green (and Hu-dad is sneezing).

Read Today's Herd StoryPicky Eater
We have been explaining how we are working to put more weight on Typhoon, but we really haven’t described how much of a picky eater he is. Some days, Typhoon will just eat his kibble as given. Some days, he wants a little extra flavor added and refuses to eat. We tried lots of things…
