Friday’s Farm Fotos
Aug 8th 2008Rural WriterFarm Fotos
Here we are, another Friday, and it’s been a BUSY week as usual! With school, work, farm and household chores, who has time for photography?
Okay, I confess, I just about always carry my camera with me when I go out to do morning chores. So here’s a few of this week’s snapshots from the farm.
I’d never seen such red wasps until I moved to the south. I think they blend in better with all the red soil, ha! (As opposed to Iowa or Canada, which both have some of the blackest soil I’ve ever seen!)
This is our male llama, Samson, before getting up in the morning. He has a couple of hitchhikers…
It’s bad enough they think the llama is their own personal roosting place, but then the rooster has just got to crow about it…
At least one of the sheep thinks he’s really baaaaad.
Later that afternoon he figured a nice fluffy sheep in the shade made a good roosting place.
Our female llama doesn’t care how many chickens sit on Samson or the sheep, as long as she gets her afternoon session in the sprinkler.
To really get the full effect of that picture, be sure to click on it so it enlarges and you can see the drops of water more clearly!
We have some new guinea babies running around the farm.
I’m not sure why it takes half a dozen adult guineas to take care of four little keets! Last year they were having 12-14 keets hatching at a time.
And lastly, I just know you’ve been wondering what I did with all the scrap wool I skirted off all those fleeces. Well, here’s your answer:
Bet you didn’t know we grow wool in our flowerbeds here in the south!
And there you have it, a glimpse of life this past week on the farm.
