Adventures of Reggie - February 7, 2013

Hello, Everyone!

My name is Reggie.

I live with a little old lady whose name is "Grandma".

I have only lived with her a short time, so I am still exploring my new home.

Reggie lives with "Grandma" on Edmond's Farm.

We will be following him as he explores his new home and makes new friends.

And on occasion, gets into trouble, well he doesn't intentionally mean to cause the chaos that seems to follow him around!

He's just your normal young tom cat, who does what a cat does - and has a lot of fun doing it!

Edmond's Farm

Hello Everyone, I'm Edmond - the Owner of 

Hither and Thither Farm

I wanted to post a sketch I found, I believe that it 

shows the original house, before it burned down many years ago. 

It had a very large kitchen - living area - and on the right you can see part of the apple orchard, which is still there today, struggling to produce strawberry tasting apples and a few sheep grazing in the foreground. 

You can't see it in this sketch but there is a pond, we kids would sneak off from doing our chores and disappear for the afternoon swinging out on a rope and dropping into the cool water......until we'd hear the dinner bell! 

We still use the table and 2 benches that my father made - they are worn with age and if you dare look under the table you will see where initials have been carved.  Even mine are there!

There was a wood cook store - I can still remember lying in bed early in the morning Dad heading out to milk the cows and the smell of Mom's hot bread - jumping out of bed - despite the cold on many mornings - racing down the stairs to the kitchen to get warm by that stove and spread honey on a slice of that bread, my mouth is watering at the thought of the sweet honeyed bread!  

Ah, the simple joys of being a child - such carefree days!

If you are ever in the area, don't be shy - drop by and say Hello! 

Ring the bell at the gate and Hither and Thither will most likely get there first to greet you; since I  am not as spry as I used to be!
