Farm Tails: Heritage Farm Village

Whinny and Neigh, Bark Bark, Meow, Snort (Hello)!

Blogging seemed necessary for me after Dad passed away in 2008. It was a way to slow my life down a bit and try to keep some precious memories alive through imagery and the written word. I come from a long line of farmers on Mom's side and it seems that I am inclined to follow that type of lifestyle. If you are interested in the old days check out the links below.

Listen to my grandfather, Floyd Fuller describe the way Vermont farm life was in the early 1900's from the Vermont Folklore Cultural Center. Scroll all the way down and click under 'Come See Us, We're Beautiful' for some amazing animal and garden eye candy!

Cricket, My First Kitten!

Something told me Callie was pregant though she did not show. She was so proud to introduce me to my first and only Grandcat! I never had a kitten before and this cat has totally melted my heart! He is rotten to the core and frequently must be reprimanded with the dreaded 'Love Jail'. Grammie holds him like a baby and pets him gently despite the awful protests that escape his strong jaws. He only receives 'Love Jail' after a vicious tackle that includes biting his mother's back and knocking her over. After his release, he immediately rubs my leg with his 15-inch long tail!

Heritage Farm Village

A big thanks to Heritage Farm, a large tourist attraction in Huntington WV, for contracting with me to design their blog! Voted one of the top Appalachia destinations by National Geographic Magazine, this 500 acre farm houses several museums, hosts classes, puts on festivals, has wonderful lodging and is a village in itself!

I would be so pleased if my bloggie buddies would join them and give them a welcome comment. Be sure to explore the site as you will enjoy seeing all they have to offer and maybe even you can come visit! Take a class, host a group, cozy up in one of the five inns or attend the huge Spring festival...I guarantee you will forget the 21st century and feel as though you stepped back into time!

A big virtual hug for those of you who joined them! I still have some tweaking to do but thanks again and next time I'll be back to blogging about our farm.
