Lots of Changes on the Farm

We sold off all the goats, and now we have boarders in the pasture. A friend has two miniature horses, a mini donkey, and two mules living in our field for exercise and grazing.




We also have two turkeys, destined for holiday dining.  Although pitifully dumb, they are very entertaining.  We like to "talk" to them and let them follow us around the yard.  They have even come up to the back door looking for food.


We finally figured out that we have a male rabbit and two females.  One female had a litter of six, but they died.  We think the other female is pregnant.  Here is a picture of her when we first got her:


We also have six ducks:  four mallards and two white Pekings (?).  They are sooo adorable.  We enjoyed watching them enjoy all the rain we had this summer.  Here is a picture of the ducks suspiciously eyeing a dead snake (lower right corner of picture):

The funniest part of summer rain is how the chickens react.  The guineas don't understand why the chickens hate getting wet:
