Happy Day at the Farm

Yesterday we visited Moonshadow Farm and had BBQ and icecream on the way home. Frost's friend Alex joined us for the drive and they boys loved running around the small farm feeding chickens, petting bunnies, seeing the new chicks and goslings, eating salmon-berries and yelling a lot when the peacocks flew up onto the roof with their shrill yelping cries.

Wren did not appreciate the peacocks although he loved the donkeys, the salmon-berries (at more than a handful) and liked the bunnies.

Joshua and I appreciated the BBQ sandwiches in Duvall.

Here are the pictures from our day. Frost and Alexander enjoyed feeding the chickens:

Wren and I walk back from the yurt through the buttercup meadow. There is also a geodesic dome residence to our left. Wren was seldom content to walk. All the peacocks and strange animals made him uneasy but he was happy to run across the meadow down the path back to the salmon-berry patch. "More, more!"



Back to the chickens. Wren clings to Joshua as the chickens circle round. Joshua was interested in their advice on what breed of chicken would be best for our backyard chicken coop and they recommended Arucanas.



Here are the offending peacocks. There was even a pea-hen brooding on her eggs.



Finally, back at home Wren will only eat in his high-chair if maximally distracted and entertained. Here the big diggers gather around to keep him content to eat a few minutes longer.
