Georgetown, KY: Working from a Barn Office with a Cat and Other Furry Friends

Lesson: the barn is the cat's turf. If you want to work from the barn, the cat is going to want to sit in your lap, and he will demand many cuddles. Now, on with highlights of an afternoon working from a barn (no, it's not stinky):

Rosie is the farm cat who has free run of the property. She is definitely one of those rare, human-loving cats. When I open the door in the morning, she comes running out of wherever she's hiding to see if I'll scratch her, and she'll usually come find us if we're eating on the deck. Maybe it's because she lives outside and doesn't get as much human attention as an indoor cat, but she is always trying to jump into my lap for cuddles.

A bit of insight into how farm folks spend their free time.

I don't know the name of this lovely hen, but she laid an egg while I was working in the barn. TIL: egg laying is an extremely noisy activity, but it only takes a few minutes. After she laid the egg, she went outside for a bit, then came back, pushed the egg into her nest, and took a nap.

If you stay in the bar long enough, this curious crowd will come and try to hit you up for food.

Please meet Derby, Belmont, Peapod, and Peggy (!) They are a friendly bunch and will let you pet them, but what they really want you to do is feed them peanuts from a bag that's sitting on the bar.

This is a modern barn, equipped with WiFi and a wet bar/work station. Our host spends a few hours a day here working, and he said we were welcome to use the space as well. And no, it's not stinky. There's a slight "natural" smell, but it's not bad. The animals spend most of their time outside, and the barn has plenty of ventilation.
