Takin' Care of Business!

Go Mark Go!!!

Blowin'

SNOW!!!

The prediction was for 1-3".  Woopsie...we got just over 8".  Mark was happy...he got to use the new snowblower.  So glad HE likes doing this stuff.  I was happy to snuggle on the couch with the kitties and watch holiday movies.  

Giving Tuesday

Today is Giving Tuesday.  Before I ask you to consider a donation to Calm Acres, let me tell you about Frank. 

Frank is an animal lover; he really enjoys Disney movies, going to yard sales and eating burgers at Denny’s.  He also loves the horses at Calm Acres.  When Frank visits the farm, he is calm…he is relaxed.  For most that would not seem unusual.  But to Frank’s mom it’s phenomenal.  For Frank’s mom, the hour Frank spends with the horses is rewarding beyond words can describe.  For Frank’s mom the reward is in witnessing her son learn, work, help, smile, laugh, socialize and above all else, relax. 

We celebrate three days (Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday) where we shop for the best deals.  How about a day (Giving Tuesday) where we give back to others?  After all, it IS what the season is about right?  Interested in helping us help more people like Frank?  Please consider a small tax-deductible donation to Calm Acres ($25 goes a very long way). 

Visit us at www.CalmAcres.org for details on how you can help and to learn more about our work.  From the bottom of my heart…I thank you.  Please share my appeal if you feel it worthy.

Pretty Little Flowers...

Adorned our Thanksgiving table.  So lovely.  

My oh my...Calm Acres is ALIVE!!!!

Today it became official.  Thanks to the Carroll Community Foundation, Calm Acres has achieved 501c3 status.  What does this mean exactly?  I can continue to offer customized equine experiences to individuals with special needs at a VERY reduced rate (in most cases free).

Can you see my smile?  I'm so excited to continue this work...and help more people.

Visit my site if you have time...www.CalmAcres.org  And hey, if you want to make a donation (no matter how small) I'd love you forever.  Really.  FOREVER!!

Bad Bad Leroy Brown...

Leroy used to live in the city.  Baltimore to be exact.  His life was very different then.  Luckily our wonderful Mobile Vet (yes...she COMES TO THE FARM) noticed how friendly he was.  She asked if he could live here at Meadow Creek Farm.  

He is amazing...Oliver's best bud and has worked his way (sometimes) into the house.

I think it's safe to say he loves his new life.

What happens when you let a new found friend carry your camera while you feed horses?

She takes an AMAZING photograph of a Boarder's horse.  

Thanks Eleanor!

(and...pssssttt...Faith, what's up with that face?)
