Oh, we love our farm. We are so blessed to live in such a wonderful place. There is always a project, always something to do, always a great day to live. Our family has enjoyed living here for the last seven years and we look forward to living here forever. I find so much simple joy in watching my children live their life in such a full way.
Every morning my little girl and I go out and feed the animals and it is one of my favorite parts of my day. This morning it was overcast and a little chilly, and Christy was giggling as I bundled her up and pulled on her pink boots to head out back. I love how all my animals run up to the fence when they see me coming. They might be using me for food, but I don't care...they still make my day...everyday.
We have some new pigs on the farm today and they are a little nervous about being here. I hope over the next few days they will warm up to the other animals and to me. They ran right through Christy's legs as she went to pet them this morning. She giggled and thought they were playing with her.
I loaded up all the sleeping areas with fresh straw yesterday and I love going on in the morning and seeing everyone covered in straw. All the animals like to build little nests to keep themselves warm as the cold weather comes in.
Whew, I hope winter isn't too harsh this year.
