IT’S PROBABLY NO NEWS to you that I have been M.I.A. on the blog scene as of late (like, seriously late). As some of you know, I’m in grad school right now. And all semester I’ve been getting my butt kicked by school work and stress-induced skin rashes (don’t ask) and teaching work. The good news is: it’s almost the end of the semester! So with this post, I’m officially back on the blog scene and I promise not to abandon you fine readers again. (Cross my heart.) What better to kick off my return than with the cutest tiniest horse ever (the latest in my “If I Were the Stork” series)? My thoughts exactly…

OH MY CUTENESS, I’m in love with this ticklish fur ball. And I can authoritatively say that watching those little kitten paws flail in the air is the new best cure for the blues! (See all my “If I Were the Stork” series of imagined adoptive siblings here.)

il_430xN.101529493I‘M PRETTY SURE my lease agreement doesn’t include a clause on how baby farm animals are more than welcome. Darn. But thanks to photographer Sharon Montrose, I can now invite these darling little animals into my home. Lamb or baby porcupine? I can’t decide…

NOW THAT I’M LIVING alone, I’ve been considering adopting a furry friend of the feline variety to keep me company. I wouldn’t be replacing my brother T, but I do need someone to pal around with down here who will love me unconditionally. Too bad Chester the hand-holding cat already has a home. He’s perfect! Side note: I hope you aren’t fed up with the freaky animal videos I’ve been posting around here, because I just can’t get enough.

piggy-collageON SATURDAY, I WENT to The Hancock Shaker Village with my mom to see all the recently born baby farm animals. It was some serious adorable overload. We especially fell in love with the piglets, who were spending their afternoon plowing their siblings over for a chance at the teat–much more rowdy than the singleton lambs and calves we came across. They reminded me of another little piggy I love.

T HIS LITTLE PIGGY reminds me of Wilbur…and I’ve always wanted to be Charlotte. Now there’s an amazing inter-species friendship!
