A Day at the Farm

On Tuesday, my Mom, son and I got a rare treat. We were able to go to the 100 acre farm of fellow blogger Pam from Life on a Southern Farm. It started out as a strictly business trip~ she had baby dominique chicks and I wanted some.

But turned into a wonderful day full of adventure.... especially for my little Farm Boy.

It started with a walk to the pond that Pam's FarmMan had made, then a fun paddle boat ride. My son has decided we need one of these:-)

Next, we explored the beautiful waterwheel her DH had built~


My little investigator was very curious about how it all worked.

We got to meet lots of the locals while we were there~

Miss Annie, came over to welcome us and get a little rub on her nose.

The guineas were not sure they cared for us at all, but at least they were kind enough to pose for a photo.
This Polish rooster kept a watchful eye out to make sure we were not going to get too close to his women.
The rogue rooster that ran with the goats, fascinated my son. He assumed he was an escapee.

BoDog and Little Farm Boy became fast friends. What sealed the deal was the bone my son found and gave to Bo.

Lionel, the resident Mouser, came out to have his picture made and let us get a good look at him. He is a beauty!

Of course there were Chicks.... lots and lots of tiny little peepers that made me want to scoop them all up and take them home.... if only I had enough room... ***sigh***

Being the 100% All-Boy that he is, my son was extremely intrigued with all of the farm equipment.

This is the Old Saw Mill that the FarmMan used to make their beautiful kitchen floor.

And the generator that my little one could have stayed and messed with for hours.

The most precious part was when we got to meet Miracle Eve. And would you just look at who got to feed her!
And even pick her up and carry her around :-) She didn't seem to mind a bit.
Before we left, Ms. Pam invited us in for some Sweet Tea and Turtle pie. Then she played us a wonderful old Hymn on her gorgeous Upright Piano.

All too soon it was time to load up and go back home, so we got what we came for.... 10 precious little biddies of our own, and said our good-byes.

I hope that we will be able to visit this charming farm again in the near future. Thank you Pam, you were such a warm and inviting hostess. We will not soon forget our wonderful day on your farm. My little one has not stopped talking about it yet and today, he took a report to school to share his experience with all of his friends.

And, 10 of your little biddies will make a much requested visit to his classroom this afternoon.

Where I am sure to be as nervous and protective as a Mother Hen. ~Rhonda
