Can You Find Nicholas? Nicholas is one of the new barn cats, that just appeared one day. He is a good boy, a little rough around the edges, but that will go away once we get him neutered.

How We Do Hay at the Barn
How We Do Hay at the Barn First, I want to note that each boarder is responsible for his or her own hay, though some of us do go in together on a load to save on shipping.
