After 3 weeks of frenzied activities with us, Sherry is returning Remy to MN this morning (along with 13 kittens, so place your orders with Luke and Julie for one of them). It was such fun having him here with us. He got to do so much and helped us harvest hay, blackberries, peaches, walnuts, watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash and more. He got to meet and help care for all of the chickens and the feral cat family with all their new kittens. He even performed a burial ceremony for one tiny runt that didn’t survive. He got over his fear of the water and is now ready for swimming lessons.

Already looking forward to his next visit.

Here are some pics from his stay with us:

Fishing the Jacks Fork river.
Filling the chicken feeders.
Washing all 3 cars with his own brush – just like papa.
Cleaning off the poop trays. These sit under the chicken roosts in the coops and get quite nasty.
Perfecting his swing.
Feeding by hand. Who needs gloves?
Picking peaches. it’s PEACHY!
A huge bounty of peaches – from a single tree.
Helping with the chores hauling water to the coops.
Harvesting Black Walnuts.
In the feral cat lair – 3 feral mamas, 2 teens and 13 kittens share this space with Gekko, a one eyed rooster.
Boiling eggs to feed back to the chickens. One egg is mixed into the feed for all the birds.
Digging a grave for Alex.
Placing “Alex”, the feral runt who died into the freshly dug grave.
No fresher than just picked.
Appropriate dress for the farm (but too warm for me).
Digging worms in our worm bed.
Cooling off in the Current river. 11 miles up the road from the farm.
The feral cousins. This is actually 3 litters worth from 3 mamas.
One of 13 (surviving) furry babies.
VBS performance at church.
Water cannon fight?
Helping out hauling hay.
Fresh blackberries.
A box o’ kitties. Guessing there are 14 or so in there.
