Olivia's First Day on the Farm

Our 5 y/o granddaughter has been living in the UK for the last 4 years. Her dad was recently assigned to Scott AFB just east of St. Louis so we ran down to pick her up and brought her home last night. 


She had a ball with the chickens. The bunch we got from that Amish farm like to peck on you. It's not hard, just annoying. Olivia was delighted with them "kissing me".


She even got to hold a hen. Later she held a baby chicken that pooped on her, but I don't have a picture of that.


She loves the dogs.


And the cows.


But feeding the baby lambs was probably the highlight of the day. 


Our day was really packed. We picked up a couple of cousins and went shopping for "farm clothes" and groceries. The kids had a ball on the rope swings in the old tree. They also helped me plant some bushes and gather eggs. After supper, we candled the eggs in the incubator to see if there were chickens in them. Looks like almost all of them were fertile!

They have all passed out and I need to do that too so night, night!

God Bless You All!
