So we went to the farm once more. This time we could not avoid animal duty. Planting is a rewarding activity, but contrary to expectations we also loved cleaning up after those little guys and gals and feeding them! Look at the bunch of them all ready and hungry to be fed! It was such a motley assortment yet so beautiful that they had me at the first cluck.
There were goats, pigs, geese and chickens of course. Remember Em? Well she certainly has the attitude. The other geese we met were just your ordinary farm geese while Emily had this very human like possessiveness.
While the boys were off strutting their stuff, the girls were found commiserating together. Probably pondering why the guys are adorned in such glorious colors while they were dressed in leftovers. Even the common rooster seems to have more color to him than us they say!
It was definitely fun being among the animals as opposed to just going there to observe. Hope to do more of this. Thanks are due to the last owner who so graciously donated her farmhouses and land to the city so we can still experience this life in the midst of all the urban growth and technology that pervades nowadays.

ss it was great to see all of them together waiting to be fed. as soon as that was done they all went their own ways.
