As many of you know I grew up on a farm just north of Nashua, and going back to hang out with my 4 brothers and one little sister is something I love to do on my down time. Here are some things us "farmkids" do for fun...or just stuff we did when I was home!
My dad stacks round bales of cornstalks and we would use them as a jungle gym...I was always too scared to climb up to the top bales.
Yes, this may seem odd, but having round bales also come in handy for a trampoline guard! I think they make it even more fun than it is! And here is my brother Jacob, doing a toe touch...no big deal! Ha! If I can't get Greta to be a cheerleader, Jacob is my next choice :)
Here is the beagle Freckles along with Greta and Jacob...Freckles used to nip at Jason's ankles, hehehe...I always thought it was funny!
This is only a fraction of the chickens my mom has. If I remember right, she had 125 of these little guys...that's a lot of nuggets right there!!
Gobble gobble!!! I always used to worry tukeys would chase me....is that weird?
Beef...it's what's for dinner....
The country is so peaceful...sky and flat land for miles...I love Iowa!
GOATS ARE WEIRD! If you know me, you may or may not be aware that I grew up drinking goat's milk. I can eat it on cereal, but not by the glassful...tooo darn goaty :)
Why `ello! This girl wanted to eat me!
So I hope this post has changed or enlightened the way you think of farm life...it's in my blood and the farm will always be my home!
everything about this post is awesome! :)
