Enjoying the local produce and critters

We sure are enjoying the benefits of being on the farm...

The girls (hens) need to provide a couple more large ones to complete 3 dozen...


That one will do!

As will that one!

.... hmmm, that one looks more like a medium....

Some of the bounty in our kitchen from the farm - eggs, fresh butter, fresh milk -- yum!

An update from a couple of days ago - I had posted about the chickens (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2020/05/chickens.html) and showed the elderly Lavender Orpinton -- it turned out that she passed away just a couple of days later.

In that post too, I had taken a picture of one that I thought was the Chocolate Orpinton, but it was an Ameraucana.

The "fluffy" one in the middle of this picture is the Chocolate Orpington.
Finally, the bulls were moved to the pasture that is right behind the house (and beside where our motorhomes are parked), so we've started getting to know them...
Duke was up close to the yard so Carl got his picture taken with him...

... and gave him a scratch on the head as a thank you... carefully staying on the other side of the fence from Duke...
Duke seems to be reasonably friendly (though not quite as much as Henry that some of my earliest readers may remember meeting: http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2016/05/sweet-henry.html). Henry has passed away, though his legacy remains in several daughters still in the herd.
