Good morning, luvs!
It’s a blissfully cloudy day and I’m so grateful for the coolness after the piping hot weather we’ve had the last few weeks. 🙂
I thought I’d take you on a little tour of some of my beloved critters here on the farm in Australia. 🙂
We have a LOT of chooks (chickens) right now and will soon have heaps more since we have darling chicks arriving every day. 🙂 These are some of our Light Sussex scratching around in the straw for bits of grain leftover from the goats feeding.
Here are our newest additions highly curious about my camera but none too impressed with having their picture taken.
This is our resident duck gang that waddles around en masse quacking animatedly. They make me laugh.
I love this sweet new goat nibbling happily among the Australorps and Light Sussex.
Here is one of two horses: Swannee Bay Jane and Gunnago Miss Baby Bars. 🙂 Aren’t those the most outrageous and fabulous names?
These are my favorite members of the farm family, maybe because I got to celebrate their birth and name them. The mama on the left is L’Abri, and the twins cuddling on the grass are Felix and Sophie. They are the friendliest little goats, always running up for pats on the head and scratches around their horns.
Do you have any animals where you live?
Hey that brown goat in the middle looks just like me. 🙂
I see the resemblance..haha
Yeah, they’re both awfully cute, aren’t they, Tammy? 🙂
Awww, do you need a cuddle too, Marie? 🙂 XO
I love goats!!!!!!
Aren’t they so lovely, Shantelle? 🙂 Such good natured creatures, I just love them. 🙂
bee-you-ti-ful beesties! the hens are gorgeous. oh you look like you’re having a great time! thx for sharing w/ us!
Thank you, Paradis! So glad you like them too. 🙂 They make my life very colorful, that’s for sure. 🙂
oh my gosh, I wish I could live with you and all your critters! how adorable. the only animal in my house is my cat 🙂 it’s so hot today in perth, I think we’ve swapped weather for a while as you’re getting our cool weather from last week.
I would LOVE to have you, Hila! 🙂 I’m fixing up a guest room this month, and you’d be welcome ANY time! You could help me feed. 🙂 Sounds like we did swap weather! It’s so much cooler today – I love it! 🙂
Farms have such heart, give me smiles and all round just make me happy
I’m so glad, Susan. 🙂 They have the same effect on me. 🙂
You seem very much at home on the farm Krista. The twins are so cute!
I do love it here, Jenny! 🙂 As much as I love travel, there’s really no place like home. 🙂
Look at those sweet faces. No pets allowed in my condo so I live vicariously through my friends.
Aren’t they adorable, Val? 🙂 I just can’t keep from smiling when I look at them. 🙂
What a fun post — I loved the tour of your farm! And I’m jealous of your chickens and fresh eggs, lol. Sadly, no animals here!
Thank you so much, Faith! 🙂 I LOVE having fresh eggs every day – and wish you were next door so I could foist my extras off onto you. 🙂
The very last thing I would have imagined is Krista running an animal farm!
LOL! I’d have to agree with you – but I sure am having fun. 🙂
i love visiting farms…one of the simple joys in life. around here i see crows and cows lol
Oh, we’ve got crows here too, Shruti! The wretches! They like to steal my baby geese for dinner!
These animals are adorable, the last photo is my favorite, so cute 🙂 We’ve got some animals near us, but mainly in the hills. A local favorite is the wild
boar – maybe not the most cuddly animal, lol 🙂
That is my favorite one too, Tuula. 🙂 Don’t they look so cuddly and sweet? 🙂 We had wild boars on the farm where I lived in California! You’re right, they are definitely NOT cuddly. 🙂
Oh you are surrounded by such cute animals. 🙂
I agree, Linda! They make me smile all the time. 🙂
Oh hun, I can tell you’re THRIVING there! I didn’t get a chance to comment on your “How I’m really doing” post (in a timely manner, that is… ::grin::), but my heart goes out to you for your hellish year and leaps to think of you settling into a peaceful, healthful, beautiful new home.
Oh, thank you so very, very much, Bethany! You inspire me constantly and give me courage to KEEP ON GOING. 🙂
. . what a lovely post – delightful photos. Your blog is a great find. By the way, is ‘Happy Birthday’ appropriate?
Thank you so much, Alan! Yes! It is definitely appropriate! 🙂 So glad you came by. 🙂
Wow I love that you took us right into the heart of your farm. Lovely set of animals you’ve got there I must say. Bet they create quite the mess no?
Thanks so much, Will! 🙂 Well, they aren’t so bad actually. The chooks make the most mess, but as long as I don’t have to live in it, I don’t mind. 🙂
