Saturday mornings on the farm

It's 930am and finally, I am sitting to eat breakfast.  Many things happen on our farm by 930am.  Here is some of what I happend this morning:

Happy dogs!


A ground hog visitor!


Visitors to the farm meeting 5 month old Buttercup!


Traveler meeting new friends!


And lastly, a check on Blanca the turkey who must have been cold last night as so many feathers are just starting to grow!  Can you see all the short spikes coming out of her pink skin?  All in neat rows.  They are new feathers starting to grow.  A chicken, turkey or duck loses feathers in the fall and then a new set of feathers grows back.  This is molting and we talked about it earlier this week.
Have a great weekend and we'll see you next week!
