This past weekend, warmer temperatures prevailed.

Those warm temps and sunshine had some critters jumping for joy.

Rachael led the charge. Telling the world she loved the snow and the sunshine.

Not everyone celebrated the same way. Some just soaked in the sun.

Some went for a short run on fast trails.

But some, like Rachael, couldn’t contain their happiness.

And kicked up their heels.

And while all this was going on, our thoughts turned to spring also.

We have a new adventure at Russ-Stick Acres.

One I hope you will enjoy.

Come June, we will be featuring a Farm Market for all the local growers, farmers and crafters.

We invite you to partake. Check HERE.

Of course more information will follow, as it gets off the ground.

Until then, enjoy the sunny winter days and bask in the beauty of nature.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing,

Autumn Beauty

Filed under: farm — Tags: , , , , , — Administrator @ 4:42 am

It won’t be long…

Soon we will be seeing the beauty of autumn unfold around us.

Our local ski resorts will be preparing for the winter season.

Our horses will be filled with a spirit from their ancestors.

Our equine trail time will wind down.

And our protégés will have the winter to ponder next summer’s adventures.

It will be a time for slow, easy walks down our Berry Beary Blvd., drinking in the sights and scents of fall.

Our woodland cabins will signal warmth as wood smoke curls from above.

And our sled dogs will rest on the trails, knowing an exciting winter awaits them.

And our aged dog, Satch, will begin her 18th year, enjoying her days at Russ-Stick Acres.

Her doggy Heaven on earth.

God and Dog…Click here to see the connection..

Until tomorrow ~ God willing (and winking),
