The Acton Free Wednesday September Elaine Johnson Randy Mitchell j married at St Albans Sept Family Page By Wendy TbomMO When started writing this column four yean ago many of the tale I told were about our animals the horses dogs cats geese Andy the ferret and many others Lately I think Ive gotten away from having as many animal tales because when youre on a farm the animals go one by one sometimes theyre replaced and sometimes not I think too that when yon lose so many of them you stop becoming Involved with them because of course It hurts when you lose an animal youve become fond of Tootling Besides back then I didnt really have that much else to write about but now with all this tootling back and forth to the Rockies and having a wider range of interests there are other things to write about too But lately people have been stopping by to find out for themselves Just whats been going on In the back pasture Two and a half years ago I wrote so much about my mare having twins stories of them growing op that people are curious as to how things turned out in the end There have been many changes since I last wrote about the pasture I hardly know where to start Most of the activity around the barn concerned both the cats and the geese so maybe 111 start with As usual our three female cats bad kittens within a week of one another Tansycat in the den CockEyed Cat a basket

had two tucked away in a pile of feed sacks TansyCat tried to bring the remaining three back up to the house I kept taking them down then she would fetch some from the big barn and Tansytwo would move a few back Cock- Eyed cat kittens got mixed up there too and were being hauled all over the place It wasn t after two of Cats little ones died that I realized this dragging around was getting and brought the remaining two small ones up to me bouse where I could keep an eye on them Then Tansy decided that the house was much more comfortable after all and the next day she tod her up I found them
