Yesterday we brought our cousin Amy to the farm. She had never visited us here before. I walked her over to the pen to see our newest addition. Dolly, our little momma Priscilla’s baby. Four days old and we already love her deeply. Cuddling with the cute little calf, I looked up to see Amy watching with big eyes. I invited her to say hello. She should her head. She told me that she had only ever seen a cow while driving. “Get in here.”
Tentatively, she opened the gate and stepped in. As she squatted down, she touched her first cow. That was it. Amy fell head over heals in love as I knew she would.
This is life.
If that wasn’t big enough, We were then introduced to Bird, another new addition. It seems someone didn’t want this little baby bird and threw it over our fence. After a nice bubble bath, Bird was fresh and friendly. Amy turned to me and said, “I didn’t know you could bond with a bird.” Just then Bird walked over for a little affection.
Life on the farm is more than just growing food. Life on the farm is about life as a whole.
