Farming and Kittens



Farming and Kittens

I was very happy to have been able to spend a couple days recently with one of my best friends on his new farm. Being a country boy at heart I was simply overjoyed to be able to connect with the land again. My friend John is getting his farm established and right now has quite a good assortment of livestock, from pigs and ducks to rabbits and gorgeous highland cows.

While I was there I helped to build a couple more pig pens and pulled fence posts from a field to re-purpose them in the pens. I also milked a goat he has and drank some milk right out of the pale, something I haven’t done since I was a kid. It was great!

There were also a couple farm kittens there that were extremely cute. One is black and the other is grey. They are polydactyl cats with 6+ toes on each front foot. I played with them as much as I could and also was able to get some video of them playing around. I love cats!


 


All in all it was an amazing visit and I look forward to going back to help out again. I hope to have some land of my own one day. I definitely did not want to come home to the rat race of Huntsville after being there.
