Homestead living

The animals out back are the ones in the books.

Life at the homestead means a mother goat and her two kids, chickens, ducks, and the dogs and cats: Duke, Frost, Brownie, Igor and Fannie.

Their days and antics inspire every page Bonnie draws.

Stories, tips and printables from the homestead are on the way.
