PREPARING FOR SANDY~

While some of us spent the majority of the day preparing for the impending arrival of tropical storm Sandy...others lazed about...Sadie Mae...

Heavy rain and wind are predicted to arrive in Maine by Monday evening. We here at Dog Trot Farm have no threat of flooding, however, a wet cellar is always a possibility. More than likely we will lose the power, hence cable, internet, will be lost...battery powered candles, headlamps and flashlights are all in position...no need for fumbling in the dark...the wood stove will keep us warm and cozy...a beef stew will simmer...the chickens will remain safe inside their coop, a seed flock block and a large pumpkin should aid with rainy day boredom...Travis and I will spend the day craving pumpkins and filling Halloween treat bags...Sadly...outdoor Halloween decorations have been removed and stored for safety....Sandy... dare I say we are ready for your presence...and if you decide not to visit...thats okay too...stay safe everyone...
