Zip On A Pole, Three Photos

by Jon Katz

We went into the backyard to build a barrier so Bud couldn’t dig his way out and go after his targets – mice, moles, chipmunks, same as Zip –  Zip always sticks his nose into anything going on in the farm, he finds a way to follow us and see what’s happening. Maria went back and forth to get some rocks in the pasture, and Zip, the donkeys, Zinnia, and Fate followed her every step.

He was pretty happy up on that pole. He tried one position after another.

 

He finally jumped off onto the top of the woodshed. He is quite a character, curious, adventurous, and fearless.

She rolled up some chicken wire, buried it in a shallow trench, and laid some old stones from the old, now cleared, barn. My Willa Cather woman.

Sarah’s Pantry Food Of The Day: Healthy Rice Pilaf

by Jon Katz

Sarah’s Cambridge Pantry Food Of Need: Wednesday: Near East Quaker Rice Pilaf Mix, Original 18.2 Ounce (Pack of 3 Boxes), $12.9.

(Rice is a rich source of carbohydrates, the body’s primary fuel source. Carbohydrates can keep people energized and satisfied and are essential for fueling exercise.)

Rice is a simple thing for parents to cook and a healthy thing for families to eat.

Rice is not readily available in the pantry; when it comes, it goes quickly.  Right now, there is none available. The food on the shelves above will be gone on Saturday.

Thank you for purchasing rice for the pantry. You can also browse the entire Cambridge Food Pantry Wish List here. The list includes the food and supplies the pantry does not get from available sources.

I’ve learned recently that the white rose is a universal symbol of charity, kindness, and compassion. I’m happy to embrace it as a symbol of the Army Of Good’s support of the Cambridge Food Pantry. You are doing a lot of good.

If you purchase food for the pantry from other sources, the correct address is Sarah Harrington, Cambridge Food Pantry, 24 E. Main Street, Cambridge, New York, 12816.

Below is the third delivery of the day on Monday for foods for the Cambridge Pantry from the Army of Good. Thank you.

Life Of A Lab

by Jon Katz

This image may be familiar to anyone who has lived with a Lab. I won’t spoil anyone’s dinner by saying what she was chewing on, but it was in a manure-filled pasture. Enuf said Maria caught this charming picture of a happy Labrador. She tried to lick me when I got home, but I passed. Later, I said. She looked disappointed.

They really will eat anything.
