Condolences go out to Sarah Overlock who's father passed away recently. We’re thinking of you.
Condolences go out to Sarah Overlock who's father passed away recently. We’re thinking of you.
We’ve decided to get a pig this year and put in an order for an American Guinea Hog piglet from Sunnywood Farm on the Waning Rd right here in Unity. I think it’ll make a good first pig for us. It’s small, on the docile side, and likes to forage. To see the American Guinea Hog, Sunnywood Farm’s website www.sunnywoodfarm-maine.com
Last week I was awakened at 3:25 in the morning. One of the dogs was whining. I couldn’t tell which one. I got up. Gypsy seemed to run to the door, so I guessed it was her and let her out. I guessed wrong. At 3:30am I was cleaning up doggy runs. Booooo.
