Ok, so while my life in Africa proved that I may not actually be cut out for rural life (translation: I like my cushy life in the "city' - such as you can call Dillon), I definitely enjoy being around animals. Anyway, two weeks ago (yeah, I'm a little behind on my blogging), I was invited over to spend some time on a dear friend's farm. They have three precious children who gave me a great tour of all their animals. They had just gotten in a batch of baby turkeys. Oh my goodness, how cute were they - not even a week old. Sadly, their fate is not a good one for them, but a good one for us!
You can't really see the little guy that I'm holding. So, here's a close-up of the baby turkeys!
Chickens! Farm Cats! Oh the joys of being on a farm. Kinda reminded me of being back in Africa. Only here, I know the animals don't carry weird diseases.
A very shy donkey, and a not so shy goat. I think he definitely tried to make a meal out of my shirt at one point.
Now I got to meet this sweet little girl one day after she was born a few weeks ago. My goodness baby goats are so soft and sweet.
I couldn't resist a picture of the guinea fowl. They don't actually do anything except eat bugs, but hey, that's important, too! So by the end of my time, I had thoroughly enjoyed being a part of farm life again, but definitely glad that I could leave them there.
