Out on the Farm

Meet Big Bad John

Meet the star of the show- my sister in law

Tigger is for this little girl. She is my sister in laws granddaughter and she works hard at taking care of Tigger.

Stumble It!

MEET TIGGER


He is one of the horses she has there. The picture is of my youngest daughter talking to Tigger.

I see a simple beauty out on the farm. It is quiet and away from other houses. Life flourishes with wide open spaces and animals galore not to mention the food you can grow. She has a number of different fruit trees there which I will take pictures of next time I go there.

Meet THE GANG

Yes, this one is part of the gang. One of the chickens is a bully. I am not naming any names, but I will tell you there is a bully amongst the crowd. We get to eat the natural no hormone eggs that come from these chickens which is very cool. Life on the farm (or near one)can be quite a treat, a smorgasbord of bonuses and delights not to mention the quietude of a sort of zen bliss that puts one in a state of meditation there away from the buzzes and beeps of city life.

Here is our pomeranian REX The dogs love running around there and exploring. They are so happy when they are on the farm.

Meet "The Buckwheat Girls"

You can hear them singing their song "buckwheat, buckwheat, buckwheat". They stand out in the crowd amongst life in the gang with their unique chant that beckons you to listen and take in their sweet melody.

"The Buckwheat Girls" at social hour, a time when the gang gets together, mingles, swaps stories and speaks proudly about Life on the farm

Meet the Intimidator He is one mean rooster and he bullies his own kind and humans alike. It does not matter who you are to him. Watch out! He'll do his best to intimidate you.

This is a pear tree, the best of the fruit trees at this time.

These emus are a neighbor's, out on the farm. They are fascinating to watch as they gracefully danced before us, grateful to have an audience for their daily parade of emu mating rituals and playful dances. They'll entrance you as you gaze upon their beauty while they perform for you.

We saw a family of deer today. The kids were on one side of a fence, the parents had jumped onto the other side. There is so much beauty in nature. I love watching the many animals I find around the farm.

I grew up in the seventies when every little girl wanted a pony. Here are some beautiful ponies that live across the road from the farm.

Meet Leroy- He is quiet, wise and old. He will nudge you when you turn the other way to say hi. He loves your company and will quietly talk to you as you pet him and love him. He is much larger than Tigger standing tall amongst the others on the farm.

Gathering for a quick meal and free handout our backyard chickens come excited and unafraid to feast and frolick.

Me and our pomeranian

Life on the farm says goodnight, tucking into the folds of the Earth. The animals settle in for their nightly slumber as the moon dances across the sky to signal the completion of yet another day on "The Farm"
